Hints for the three missing: 2 are currently in the Moutain West Conference, 1 no longer plays Division 1 basketball. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:46 1
- The last two are: Utah (1944) and Wyoming (1943) -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:48
Texas Western when Josh Lucas was coach, San Francisco when Bill Russell was there, La Salle when Tom Gola was there and Holy Cross in the 1940s. - David Apr 5, 18:43 7
- La Salle (1954), Holy Cross (1947) -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:44 6
  - La Salle is also where ESPN Pinhead Tim Legler played. - David Apr 5, 18:46
  - City College New York. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 18:45 4
    - Damn it. I was just about to guess this one. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 18:56 1
      - I showed up too late. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 18:57
    - Yep... (1950) - that's the one that no longer plays Division 1 in the hint above. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:46 1
      - Is the remaining one guessable? -- nm - David Apr 5, 18:48
Xavier? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 18:43
Layola? -- nm - CQ Apr 5, 18:41 1

the only other one i can think of is san francisco (i think?) -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 18:39 3
- Yes. They won back to back titles in 1955 and 1956. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:40 2
  - i keep thinking of marquette and cincinnati, but they're in one of the conferences now. -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 18:41 1
    - Yeah. I didn't want the complication of figuring out when teams joined conferences so that's why I only count current conference affiliation. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 18:42
