Previous Titles In NCAA Regions

Both the South and Midwest Regional semi-finals house a total of nine titles among its four teams.

In the South region, Kentucky once an 8 to 1 underdog and now an 8 to 5 favorite to win the region, (I noticed the plowing in their favor after one day, now all the so called experts got around to it) has 8 previous titles.

Loyola of Chicago has one.

The Ramblers won it all in 1963, defeating two time champion, Cincinnati in the final.

Nevada coming from way back/a Cincinnati collapse prevented a Loyola vs Cincy redux 55 years later and 3 rounds earlier.

Tomorrow a look at the 9 titles among the 4 Midwest Region teams.
