An interesting trivia question for you.... what is the only school from the
State of Texas to win the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.
No fair Googling/Searching before submitting your answer!

Easy. Texas Western at El Paso (now UTEP). Won the 1965 championship, defeated Kentucky (first time Kentucky had ever played a team with black players). UTEP coach Don Haskins' greatest moment. Pat Riley (later coach of the Laker, Knicks & Heat) played for Kentucky. That was the Final Four that Bill Bradley led Princeton to.
