How many NCAA Division I teams have finishes the season undefeated (including post-season, not just regular season)?

Yep. Illinois came pretty close in 2005, as well. The legacy of Matt Sylvester lives on.

I can think of 4.

Indiana -- Last team do it, 1976
UCLA -- I know they did it twice during their 88-game win streak, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it another time as well
San Francisco -- I believe they were the first team to do it

Well, UCLA is right, Ill tell you they did it 4. You are right on IU as well as SF. Still missing a few.

Ehh. I don't know other than just listing off big programs. I think NC St. technically finished a season undefeated, since they were on probation and couldn't accept an NCAA bid.

Haha. I have no idea what seasons these would have been, but I'm assuming you mean UNC and UK.

Yep.
UNC 32-0 in 1956/57
UK 25-0 in 1953/53 (turned down bid because 3 players were ruled ineligible for the NCAA tournament)

Notre Dame has the most with 30.
Texas is #2 with 28.

Gonzaga is wrong. They've only been 13 times.

There's a logjam at the #5 spot, so 5 teams left. Purdue would have also been tied for #5.

In the tourney none, bu tI do wonder if a team ended up a 16 has ever beaten a team who ended up a 1 seed in the preseason/regular season.
