Since 1960, there have been five cases where the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament (Division 1) came from a team that failed to win the championship. Those years were: 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1983. Three of the players went on to become NBA champions, one of whom is arguably more famous today for his post-basketball career.
