The 1986 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament involved 64 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. It began on March 13, 1986, and ended with the championship game on March 31 in Dallas, Texas. A total of 63 games were played.

Louisville, coached by Denny Crum, won the national title with a 72-69 victory in the final game over Duke, coached by Mike Krzyzewski. Pervis Ellison of Louisville was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

LSU's 1985-86 team is tied for the lowest-seeded team (#11) to ever make the Final Four (with George Mason's 2005-2006 team). LSU began its run to the Final Four by winning two games on its home court, leading to a change two years later which prohibited teams from playing NCAA tournament games on a court which they have played four or more games in the regular season. Cleveland State University became the first #14 seed to reach the Sweet Sixteen.

  2. 14 seed Arkansas-Little Rock 90, #3 Notre Dame 83

It was really these upsets that launched the NCAA Tournament's reputation for having unknown teams surprise well-known powers, and both happened on the same day. Indiana's stunning loss would be part of the climax in the best-selling book “A Season On The Brink.” UALR's win over Digger Phelps' boys wasn't in a book, but was just as unexpected and added to the wackiness on a memorable day.
