You think UCLA is a better all-time program than Kentucky? Because if not, point stands.
What point? UCLA was the favorite entering every tourney during that stretch(7 straight)
1964: 26-0, ranked #1 entering the tourney. Finished 30-0
1965: 24-2, ranked #2. Beat #1 Michigan in the final. 28-2 overall.
Then came the streak....
1967; Started the season #1, and finished that way: 30-0
1968: Entered tourney #2. Beat #1 Houston, 101-69 in FF. Then #5 UNC, 78-55
1969: Started season #1, entered tourney #1, finished #1....
1970:Started season #1....Lost last game of reg season. Entered tourney #2. Beat #5 NM State and #4 Jacksonville handily to win the title.
1971: Started season #1....entered tourney # 1, won the title: 29-1
1972: Started season #1....entered tourney #1, won title: 30-0
1973: Started #1....entered tourney #1,won title: 30-0
So during their stretch of 7 straight titles, UCLA entered 6 of those #1. The one time they did not, they were #2---BUT destroyed #1 Houston in the FF.
I'd safe its safe to say that during that stretch, the BEST did in fact win the title.
MOF, only 3 times out of his 10 titles, did Wooden not enter the tourney #1...But in two of these three, UCLA eventually beat the #1 ranked team ,as the #2 team....
Note: In 1975, Woodens last title, UCLA entered the tourney ranked 2nd, BUT......the AP poll was released every week, even during the tourney. SO by the time UCLA advanced to the FF vs Louisville, they were ranked #1...
So no, your point doesn't stand....Back then, UCLA was clearly the best team.
And no, I do not think UCLA is the best CBB program off all-time. I think that belongs to Kentucky.
