NCAA Champions and Final Four Teams 1964 - 1984

Many of college basketball's greatest stories are represented in this list of championship teams, from John Wooden's dynastic UCLA Bruins and their 10 titles in 12 years to Don Haskins' Texas Western team and the all-black starting five that won the 1966 championship and inspired the movie Glory Road to Bobby Knight's undefeated Indiana Hoosiers in 1976 to Magic Johnson and Larry Bird squaring off in the 1979 finals to Jim Valvano's cinderella story in 1983.

For each year since the NCAA Tournament's inception in 1939, we've listed the teams that reached the Final Four and the tournament runner-up. The champion is listed in bold.
