Highlights:

Connecticut wins a second consecutive tournament championship putting Dan Hurley at .778, good enough to take the top spot on the list from John Calipari.  The last team to win back to back was Florida back in 2005 and 2006.
One year after losing in the first round as a #1 seed, Purdue makes it to the championship game, inproving Matt Painter's record to .579 and putting him in the top 20 on the list.  This year brought up a weird connection between Purdue and Virginia.  The only other #1 seed to lose in the first round was Virginia in 2018 who came back the next year to win the championship giving Purdue the opportunity to duplicate that feat this year.  Interestingly, Virginia had to beat Purdue in overtime to get to that 2019 Final Four.  Also, Purdue won the second to last Third Place game in 1980 and Virginia won the last Third Place game in 1981.  Purdue's Zack Edey won the Wooden Award for the second year in a row, only the second time that has happened ...The first being Virginia's Ralph Sampson.  To top it off, as of this year Purdue and Virginia both have .5833 tournament winning percentages.
Nate Oats takes Alabama to its first ever Final Four, moving up the list to seventeenth place with a .588 record.
Brad Brownell's Clemson team reaches the Elite Eight, putting him on the list at .462 in 38th place.
A Sweet Sixteen finish for San Diego State allows Brian Dutcher to debut on the list at .583 in eighteenth place. Last year, Dutcher's Aztecs lost to Connecticutt in the championship game.
Tad Doyle's Colorado team plays in and wins a first round game to let him debut on the list with a .400 record.
