But each of these four have cut down the nets at some point since 2008. In fact, no one outside this group won the national title between 2015 and 2018. Additionally, between 2008 and 2018, each of these four teams won at least one national championship, and collectively the group combined for seven titles over that span. The only program in this Final Four whose blue blood status is debatable is Villanova. While two of the Wildcats' three national titles have come under Jay Wright in recent years (2016 and 2018), they were no pushovers before his arrival. Villanova made three Final Four appearances before Wright's tenure and won it all under Rollie Massimino in 1985. As a No. 8 seed, that team is still the worst-seeded team to ever win it all. Wright has certainly taken the program to new heights in his 21 seasons, but Villanova is more than a one-coach wonder.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/is-duke-kansas-north-carolina-and-villanova-the-best-collection-of-blue-blood-programs-ever-in-a-final-four/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
