The 1958 NCAA University Division basketball tournament involved 24 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball in the United States. It began on March 11, and ended with the championship game on Saturday, March 22, in Louisville, Kentucky.[1][2] A total of 28 games were played, including a third-place game in each region and a national third-place game.
Led by head coach Adolph Rupp, the Kentucky Wildcats won the national title with an 84–72 victory in the final game over Seattle, coached by John Castellani.[1] The Chieftains led by 39–36 at the half, but star forward Elgin Baylor picked up his fourth personal foul with over sixteen minutes remaining.[1] The Chieftains were outscored by fifteen in the second half, and Baylor was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.[1][2]
