NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - NCAA Division I Champions

NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - NCAA Division I Champions

The first national championship tournament, in 1939, was conducted by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and sanctioned by the NCAA, which took over the tournament in 1940.

Prior to that the Helms Foundation (Los Angeles) retroactively selected Basketball National Champions from 1901 to 1941. In addition the Helms Foundation selected national college basketball champions from 1942-82. In most cases the selections were the NCAA tournament winners, however in 1939, 1940, 1944 and 1954 they were different.

A full list of tournament champions is located here.
