MyBB Which team had the worst season before winning the NCAA tourney?
.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS THAT A TEAM CAN LOSE SOME GAMES THAT IT SHOULDN'T LOSE, AND YET, IT CAN STILL HAVE A TERRIFIC BASKETBALL SEASON.

Which team(s), of those listed in the poll, do you think won the NCAA championship as the biggest underdogs of all time?

For whatever reason the Kemba Walker UConn team (2010–11 season) always sticks out in my mind.

9–9 in Big East Conference play.
A 9-seed in the Big East Conference Tournament.

They just went on a crazy streak once it was Tourney time.
