I made to the UCLA campus on a visit to a college buddy in 1977. Made it a point to find the trophy case for all those NCAA championships. Very impressive especially to a guy from Indiana. I would like to point out that there were only sixteen teams in most of those tournament years.

My bad. It varied between 22 & 25 teams during those years

In all those except maybe 1975, Wooden got first round passes, but still had to win 4 games for the championship, except in 75 when he had to win 5 games. Today they have to win 6 games for the Championship. NO other team has even won 3 in a row. wow.

Here is a question I’d like an opinion on. Phil Jackson might win his 11th Championship as a coach. How does it compare with Wooden’s 10?
