Will the Hoosiers win the NCAA title?

[Billo_Really]

Or will it be another title for Kentucky?


Or what about St. Johns?

 

[Papageorgio]

Hopefully the Hoosiers get back to the title game, but with many good teams in the country, you got to have the right breaks.

Will it be two in a row for the Wildcats?

 

[Mad Scientist]

How many of them poor kids are getting "Sanduskied"? The NCAA should investigate but I know it won't.

1974 UCLA; with Walton, Wilkes, Myers, had their 88 game win streak ended by Notre Dame and had a run of 7 straight NCAA Championships end.

1975 Indiana, 31-1; undefeated until Kentucky edged them. Benson, May, Wilkerson, Buckner and Radford.

1991 UNLV 34-1; lost to Duke in the Final Four. Augmon, Johnson, Spencer, Anthony.

1983 Houston 31-2; Sigma Phi Slamma Jamma with Olajuwon and Drexler.

Those are just four off the top of my head, I had to look up Notre Dames roster. Not very impressive.

I hope so but I don't think it's possible. Indiana and Louisville are loaded with veterans.

Laimbeer and Woolridge were impact players in the NBA.

Hanzlick and Tripucka had respectable NBA careers.

Robey and Givens were backups I think in the NBA.

Game was played at Freedom Hall.

Well, don't go throwing a chair over it.

 

[Billo_Really]

I'll never forget watching the news one night during their sports segment and the reporter began it this way:

"How would you like to be the coach of a basketball team, come home to your wife and say, 'Honey, we scored 128 points tonight, but lost by 50!"​

I forget who the other team was, but the winning team was Jerry Tarkanian's UNLV team. I don't think it was the '91 team, but a little before.

 

[ginscpy]

Screw that basketball school.

And Kentucky, Duke, Arizona.

I hope you were being sarcastic, otherwise I'd question your overall basketball knowledge, either that, or think you are another ND homer.

1974 UCLA; with Walton, Wilkes, Myers, had their 88 game win streak ended by Notre Dame and had a run of 7 straight NCAA Championships end.

1975 Indiana, 31-1; undefeated until Kentucky edged them. Benson, May, Wilkerson, Buckner and Radford.

1991 UNLV 34-1; lost to Duke in the Final Four. Augmon, Johnson, Spencer, Anthony.

1983 Houston 31-2; Sigma Phi Slamma Jamma with Olajuwon and Drexler.

Those are just four off the top of my head, I had to look up Notre Dames roster. Not very impressive.

Add the 74/75 Washington Huskies - who whupped UCLA 100-81 in John Woodens last defeat. UCLA went on to win the NC.

Had James Edwards - unstoppable turnaround jump shot in the paint. Unfortunately - blew a big lead and lost to Mizzou in the first round.

I've been a University of Kentucky wildcat fan since 1975. I never did like Digger.

74-75 Huskies went 6-8 in the PAC-8 and 16-10 overall, the did not go to the NCAA or NIT. I really couldn't find info on Wooden's last loss.
