Fans watching Virginia vs. Texas Tech in the national championship on Monday night may have been wondering, what was the lowest scoring NCAA tournament game in history?
The fewest points scored in any NCAA tournament game is 46, a record set in 1941 when Pittsburgh beat North Carolina 26–20. The fewest scored in March Madness in the shot-clock era (since 1986) is 75, set when Missouri State beat Wisconsin 43–32 in 1999.
