When is the last time Wichita State University Men's Basketball team go to the Final Four?
That would be in the 2007-2008 season when they started off 20-0 and eventually rolled on to be the national champions, defeating the Memphis Tigers 75-68 in overtime. The 2008 national championship game was memorable due to "Mario's Miracle," when Mario Chalmers hit the game-tying three pointer as regulation time was nearing zero. The Tigers were the heavy favorite, featuring Derrick Rose amongst others on a team that was the only men's division I college basketball team to ever reach 38 wins or more in a season (they finished 38-2, with their last lost coming against Kansas).
Which venue has hosted the most final fours?
Through 2013, the city that has hosted the Final Four for the NCAA men's basketball tournament the second-most
times is New York City, where the event has been held seven times (1943-48 and 1950)-- all in the 1925-built Madison Square Garden on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets (since demolished following the 1968 construction of the current Madison Square Garden on 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets).
Kansas City, Missouri has played host the most-- 10 times altogether (1940-42, 1953-55, 1957, 1961, 1964 and 1988). For the first nine of these, the event was hosted at Municipal Auditorium; the 1988 event was in Kemper Arena.
Louisville, Kentucky (1958-59, 1962-63, 1967 and 1969) has played host to the Final Foursix times--each time in Freedom Hall.

What is the highest scoring college basketball game in the NCAA tournament?
On January 12, 1992, Troy defeated DeVry University (Atlanta) by the score of 258-141
Which two teams have played the most in the ncaa final four?
Through 2012, North Carolina and the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) have each played in 18 Final Fours, but due to the use of ineligible players, UCLA's 1980 appearance was vacated by the NCAA governing body. Thus, the record books reflect that North Carolina has made 18 appearances and UCLA 17.
To answer your question very precisely, however, the two teams that "have played the most" in the Final Four are UCLA, which has played 33 games in the Final Four (18 semi-finals, 13 championship games and 2 third-place contests) and North Carolina, which has played 30 Final Four games (18 semi-finals, 9 championship games and 3 third-place contests). Even when one subtracts the vacated appearances, UCLA has played 31 Final Four match-ups to North Carolina's 30.
Located right in the heart of Virginia, Richmond is the capital and one of the state's most important cities. It is known as the River City, as the James River runs right through the middle of Richmond. With just more than 200,000 residents, the city sits as the state's 3rd largest. What this mean visitors is that there's a lot to do if you are willing to get out and look for it.
Richmond is one of the oldest cities in the United States, as it draws its roots back to Jamestown and the original colonization of Virginia. In a practical sense, this has created a city that is very old and traditional in its layout. The grid was developed in the 1700s and remains unchanged. Additionally, people who come to Richmond need to take a new hours out of their time to take in some of the history of the area. There are impressive old houses and all sorts of old architecture right in the city's limits.
Richmond is a city that is dominated by the arts, which is probably due in large part to the well regarded Virginia Commonwealth University's art program. It helps to fuel the love for the arts in the city, which has the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, as well as the Byrd Theater. The Barksdale Theater is a definitely must-see if you are visiting, as it features many great shows during most times of the year. It is a not for profit theater that retains a bit of the old charm that used to come along with the city.
Richmond CenterStage opened in 2009 and is the updated home of performing arts in the city. That is a place to go to see musical performances, as well as any top-notch traveling acts that come to town.
If you are into basketball, you might check out a game played by either the Richmond University Spiders or the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams. Both teams have been to the NCAA Tournament over the last decade. The city also has minor league indoor football, a minor league hockey team, and a well-attended AA baseball team, too. If you are into tennis, the Arthur Ashe tennis facility is a nice thing to check out.
Richmond is a place where you can have a lot of fun, no matter what you are into. Whether visiting Jamestown or taking in a Spiders' game, you'll find fun in the capital.

What team has made the most NCAA tournamnet appearances?
The school with the most appearances without a championship win is the University of Notre
Dame, which has made 33 appearances (including 2013) in the men's basketball tournament without winning a championship. Its closest bid came in 1978, its sole Final Four appearance, when it lost to Duke 90-86 in the semi-finals.
In theory, the school with the most appearances without winning any games is Iona, which has received eight bids and is credited with no wins. (Iona technically beat Holy Cross 84-78 in the 1980 opening round, but because of NCAA infractions, its win was later vacated.) Through 2013, the most appearances without any wins of any sort (vacated or not) is a distinction shared by
Eastern Kentucky University and the University of Louisiana-Monroe
(formerly Northeast Louisiana University), each of which has received seven bids but has
yet to win a game.

No. Illinois has been to four Final Fours ( 1949-51-52-89 ) but never won the championship.
actually Illinois has been to 5 final fours, last one 2005
Yes, Illinois won a NCAA Championship in 1915, going 16-0. This was pre-tournament, so the Helms Foundation determined the NCAA champion back then. The NCAA was founded in 1906.
NO. Illinois has won a NATIONAL Championship, but not an NCAA Championship. The Helms awarded titles years later. For example, UNC has won 5 National titles (1924, 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005) but only 4 of them are NCAA Championships. The title in 1924 was awarded by the Helms Foundation, much like the Illini's title in 1915.

What is the largest capacity arena in the UK?
it was Old Trafford at 65,000 then Millenium Stadium Cardiff 70,000 New wembley is 80,000+ and Old Trafford now the corners have been opened up is nearer 100,000. Thames AFC played in the football league from 1928 to 1932 at the 120,000 capacity West Ham Stadium, purposely built for Greyhound and Speedway Racing. Their average gate was 2,469. The stadium was demolished in the early 70s. New Brighton Tower F.C played in the Football League from 1897 to 1901. Their ground capacity was 80,000, but averaged gates of c. 1000.
Odsal Stadium, home of Bradford Bulls Rugby League Club, held a crowd of 102,569 on 5 May 1954.
Wembley is actually 90,000. Not 100,000+.and old trafford is around 75,000. So Wembley Stadium is The BIGGEST stadium in the world!!!!
Actually Wembley is not even close to being the largest stadium in the world, the Azadi stadium in Tehran curently holds 100,000- seated. Wembley is CURRENTLY the largest stadium in the UK as it is an all seater, but previously standing grounds have held more. The record in Britain is officially Hampden Park with 149,415 in 1937. (White Horse final does not count as no registered attendance. FYI after Wembley, Twickenham has the largest seated cappacity at approx 80,000... I know it's Rugby. Interestingly the Maracana Stadium in Brazil once held 200,000+ during a final against Uraguay. See www.worldstadiums.com
Actually, the Rungrado May Day Stadium in North Korea has a seating capacity of 150,000, and is the largest non-motorsport stadium in the world. Basically, no other stadium, whether football or bullfighting, even comes close!

Which conference has the most NCAA final four basketball appearances in the past 20 years?
Thats a tricky question to answer as conferences have changed alot over the years. The Pac-10 hands down. UCLA alone holds 11 titles.....more than any other conference combined. Schools hold the championships, not conferences. So when a school switches conferences, or if a conference dissolves altogether....well, lets just say, its a moot question. Example....Miami holds their football championships....some as independant, some as a member of the Big East. Now that they are in the ACC....their next title will be there. A more correct question would be....which conference has the most schools with the most championships? Current schools in the Pac-10 combine to hold 15 NCAA titles in basketball. Pac-10 (15)
SEC - (10)
Big Ten - (10)
Big East - (10)
ACC - (10)
Big 12 - (4)
