Notes
  • Bobby Knight fired as coach at Indiana; hired at Texas Tech.
  • The NCAA final matchup between Duke and Arizona marked the fourth time in history the preseason No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams met for the title. No. 2 has won every time.
  • Georgia had the nation's toughest schedule (by RPI), but finished 16-14.
  • Butler went 39 years between NCAA victories. The last had been in 1962 vs. Western Kentucky.
  • Tulsa def. Alabama, 79-60, to win NIT title.
