Question 1 of 9

Which university won the NCAA basketball tournament in 1958, the year that AARP was founded?

Kentucky’s “Fiddlin’ Five” beat the Seattle Chieftains by a score of 84-72 on March 22 in a game played in Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. Three months later, AARP was incorporated on July 1, with membership set at $2 a year.

Question 2 of 9

Which women’s team has the most NCAA Division I basketball championships?

UConn has won 12 championships, including the 2025 title. 

Question 3 of 9

Older adults are often told to take it easy with exercise, but what about those who love a good contact sport like basketball? Unpredictable, non-repetitive sports can be good for your brain, but proceed with some caution. True or false: Static stretches are the best way to warm up for sports exercise.

Today, before heading into the fray, athletes are doing what is called “movement prep” — calisthenics, jumping jacks, skips, hops, bounds — to prime the body for exercise. Recent studies have shown that these types of movements, regardless of your age, can help reduce injury risk. 

Question 4 of 9

The first NCAA women’s tourney was in 1982. Which team won the championship?

The Lady Techsters went 35-1 that season

Question 5 of 9

When they first met at the NCAA Championship, Larry Bird was dubbed the “hick from French Lick,” playing for Indiana State, and Michigan State’s Earvin “Magic” Johnson seemed to possess an effortless grace on the court. What year did that title game take place?

Michigan State won 75-64, and Johnson was named Most Outstanding Player. The next year, they would enter the NBA, redefine the sport and spark an East-West rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. 

Question 6 of 9

Who is the all-time leading scorer in the men’s tournament?

Laettner, who played for Duke, scored 407 points in his tournament appearances. 

Question 7 of 9

In what year was the first NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament held?

Oregon beat Ohio State for the title in the eight-team tournament. 

Question 8 of 9

Which postseason basketball tournament is older: the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) or the NCAA men’s tourney?

The NIT, which was once a more prestigious tourney because of the small NCAA field, was first held in 1938.

Question 9 of 9

In what year did the NCAA men’s tournament expand to 64 teams?

The women’s field expanded to 64 teams in 1994.
