How many basketball championships has IowaState won?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No. They came close in 1955 (final 4) and 1956 (2nd place) but could not beat Bill Russell, KC Jones and Larry Farmer of U of San Francisco. Iowa had two great players in Carl Cain and Bill Logan, but Russell was just too much off the boards. That was Mike Farmer, not Larry Farmer.

Answer 3

Yes, the NCAA recognizes one national title for Iowa, 1958. That year LSU played a schedule based solely on racism and faced white only teams/opponents. Iowa played an integrated schedule and was much more impressive both in victories and scores. LSU won a home game bowl game 7-0 to a white only team and Iowa won a road game bowl game 38-12 and set or tied 7 Rose Bowl records. The "FWAA" was the most respected football organization of the day and recognized that Iowa was clearly a better team than the racists of LSU and awarded Iowa the Grantland Rice Trophy awarded to that years NATIONAL CHAMPION.

Answer 4

That would be zero. Their final four appearance in 1944 is the closest theyve ever gotten.
