The transfer portal changes everything, but it's worth looking back on the last teams to repeat as NCAA champions. They fell off the map.
Florida won in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, they lost all their starters and were in the NIT. In 2009, NIT again. In 2010, they were back in the tournament and lost in the first round.
They recovered after that, making a few Elite Eights, but didn't get back to the Final Four until 2014. That was a fun game.
Duke, after their early '90s repeat, was back in the title game with Grant Hill as a senior just two years later. Then they, too, fell apart, with K taking time off and the worst teams of his entire tenure in the mid 90s. They were back in the Final Four in 1999. Another fun game.
