The 1964 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game was the finals of the 1964 NCAA University Division basketball tournament and it determined the national champion for the 1963-64 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The game was played on March 21, 1964, at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. It featured the UCLA Bruins of the Athletic Association of Western Universities, and the Duke Blue Devils of the Atlantic Coast Conference. This was the first championship game since 1959 to not feature a team from Ohio.
UCLA handily defeated Duke to win their first ever national championship, and it marked the start of a dynasty for the Bruins.
