Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3120629, member: 833"] I can't get past the schedules that UCLA would play. Two other factors are at the least significant qualifiers for teams from the past: 1) NIT. The NIT was still a viable alternative to the NCAA Tournament for top teams well into the 1960's. 2) Selection. Prior to 1975, only division winners made the NCAA Tournament. This severely weakened the field, as many of the top teams in the country got left out of the NCAA's every single year. I am not saying UCLA wasn't really good and didn't have a lot of great players, but it is really hard to compare across eras in college basketball. Edit: Other things that make comparisons difficult: Shot clock 3 point shot [/QUOTE]
