In the annual NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, the still-undefeated teams after the first four rounds are referred to as the Final Four. These teams compete on a Saturday and the winners play for the national title on the following Monday. Though the tournament has existed since 1939, only eight teams competed until 1951 when the tournament was expanded to 16 teams.
The 2008 NCAA Mens Tournament was the first time in NCAA history, since 1979 when seeding was introduced, that the four top seeds all made it into the Final Four. The Jayhawks' overtime victory against the Memphis Tigers marks the seventh time a NCAA Championship game went into overtime.
UCLA holds the records for most NCAA championship titles (11), most Final Four appearances (18), and most Final Four wins (26).
