Yes these three teams are probably right up there are the most historic. Especially UCLA because they've won multiple titles under John Wooden and that unbelievable streak of 88 straight wins.
The most historic team ever?
I've got to say the 1966 Texas Western Miners.
No one expected them to win the NCAA title. They weren't even considered in the post-season. They were playing in an era where discrimination was great.
Why historic:
- Texas Western Miners finished the 1965-66 regular season with a 23-1 record, entering the NCAA Tournament ranked third in the nation in the final regular season AP college basketball poll.
- Facing the top-ranked University of Kentucky in the championship game, Haskins made history by starting five African American players for the first time in a championship game against Kentucky’s all-white squad
- Won the NCAA championship with a 72-65 win over Kentucky

Basketball historians with the aid of fact that's the winningest college basketball application. KY NBA gamers: Antoine Walker, Sam Bowie, Tayshaun Prince, Keith Bogins, Dan Issel, Rex Chapman, Randolph Morris, Rajon Rondo, there are greater, yet i'm in simple terms imparting you with examples (previous and recent). while Duke or North Carolina surpass Kentucky's winningest college basketball checklist then so be it. they could have deserved the identify. Florida accomplished something final night that even North Carolina has in no way achieved; the repeat. the two Duke and Kentucky have achieved that or perhaps UCLA has exceeded the two considered one of them in that section. In due time! credit will get carry of the place that's due.

The most historic team out of all of those teams is Kansas because they were the team that kept on winning the tournament. They are good.

That's a fair list...I'd add Syracuse and Indiana to that list...
and for shock value - Notre Dame - they've ended many serious streaks - including UCLA twice...This being said, they've never been too good around tourney time...
Personal favorite "underdog" basketball schools include Depaul and Marquette, New Orleans, and St. Louis...
