I am wondering if the 1977 NCAA basketball tournament was the most under rated in history. This is only with the 32-team format.
look at those scores

That Marquette team still holds the record for the starting player with the fewest points/game average...Bill Neary. Al liked his work ethic so much that he started him every game but replaced him with Bernard Toone shortly there after. Neary was used later in the games as a hatchet man if some particular opponent needed to be removed from the game.
