What team is the only one to win the NCAA men's tourney as a independent?

Gotta go. Will check back later.

Here's a clue: This team used to be in the Missouri Valley conf. Now they're in the Big East.

The only school I can even think of is Notre Dame, but I have no idea if they have even ever won it all.

Wild a$$ guess. Texas Western?

I am going to guess City College of New York, because I know they are the only team to win the NCAA and NIT tournaments in the same year. No idea if they played in a conference or not, but that's my guess.

Marquette ??????? spelling is probably wrong.

Good call - I think Marquette was independent back when they won it.

I remember a bunch of guys from that team: Butch Lee, Bo Ellis, Jerome Whitehead, Earl Tatum.... Tatum was an amazing shooter.

Remember their then coach Al McGuire and Billy Packer as the lead color team on CBS back in the day always liked them.

Marquette in '77 is correct! Good job. Also, Al McGuire's last game as head coach was that '77 Nat. Title game vs. North Carolina.
