3 NCAA Groups That Have Excelled in Both Men’s Basketball and Football

Do you wish watching football as much as you prefer watching basketball? In the world of the NCAA, it is common for teams to have a solid football squad or a solid basketball squad. As an example, the Duke Blue Devils have won 3 Division I NCAA basketball championships, though their football team is usually less-than-stellar. Meanwhile, while Alabama’s soccer team has won twelve national championships, their basketball team is consistently under the radar.

However, some NCAA colleges have excelled in each football and basketball. Here are some prime examples:

1. Cincinnati Bearcats
The Bearcats’ football team has not solely played in ten bowl games; it’s a winning record of 6-four in those bowls, and has won the last 3 of them. Cincinnati has appeared within the Sun Bowl twice, the Motor Town Bowl twice, and most recently, in the PapaJohns.com Bowl.
Meanwhile, the Bearcats’ basketball team has also achieved success. The team has appeared within the NCAA mens basketball tournament 24 times. Those journeys to the tournament included two national championships for the Cincinnati Bearcats (1961, 1962), and one loss within the championship game (1963).

2. Florida Gators
The Gators soccer team, for which the sports drink Gatorade was named, has won 2 national championships. Throughout the 1996-1997 season, past Florida QB Steve Spurrier came to coach his alma mater to a 12-1 season, and a national championship. Florida defeated Florida State within the Sugar Bowl. Then during the 2006-2007 season, the Gators won their second national championship, walloping the Ohio State Buckeyes, forty one-14. In addition to their national championships, the Florida has produced 3 Heisman Trophy winners:
o Steve Spurrier (1966)
o Danny Wuerffel (1996)
o Tim Tebow (2007)
The Florida Gators’ mens basketball team has recently risen to prominence. In 2000, the team made its initial NCAA championship look, though it lost to Michigan State, 89-76. However, the Gators would become “chompions” in 2006, winning their 1st NCAA title. The Gators demolished UCLA, 73-57. Then in 2007, Florida defended its title, by defeating Ohio State eighty four-75.

3. UCLA Bruins
Although better known for its basketball team, the Bruins football team has additionally achieved substantial success, throughout the years. The Bruins’ greatest success occurred in 1954, when the team became co-national champions. UCLA has additionally won 17 conference titles. In 1967, the UCLA soccer squad also made a Heisman Trophy winner: Gary Beban.

Meanwhile, the UCLA Bruins basketball team has been spectacular. It has won 11 NCAA championships, which is more than any different team. Below renowned coach John Wood, the Bruins won ten titles in the span of twelve years! The team has additionally been undefeated throughout four years (1964, 1967, 1972, 1973). UCLA won its most up-to-date NCAA championship in 1995. Since 2006, the team has conjointly appeared in 3 back-to-back-to-back Final Fours in the NCAA tournament.

While it’s commendable to excel in either NCAA men’s basketball or football, it is outstanding to excel in both sports. Cheer on your favorite NCAA team to victory in either sport-or each!
