We come in at #58
Our Big East brethren come in at Nova #66 and #26 Georgetown
Shame we couldn't have taken down NC State in 74 I feel like history would've look at our team as one of the better championship teams.
I'm sure it doesn't help that at the time, we held the record for most losses by a national champ.

Or gone to the NCAA tournament in 1970. Probably the most beatable UCLA team since it fell between the Alcindor and Walton teams.

Or even if Chones had stuck around. I only mentioned 74 because we were so close

Badgers at #72, which is unsurprisingly close to the combined score of their Championship game.
It's takes an article like this to remind me just how dominant UCLA was.

The gold standard.
The UCLA dynasty is right up there with the best dynasties of all sports.
The Celtics of the Russell era
Yankees '47 to 62
Da bulls
Uconn women BB
Steelers/Pack 70s/60s
