Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 4946467, member: 5395"] IMO, the brilliance and domination of the UCLA teams of the 60’s created for the first time a national, rather than regional, spotlight on college basketball. The 1968 game where Elvin Hayes and an undefeated Houston team played Lew Alcindor’s undefeated and reigning national championship UCLA team, in front of 55,000 fans in the Astrodome and a national TV audience, was THE seminal moment where college basketball changed forever in the national consciousness. For purposes of this argument, I’d include NCAA tournament winners starting from 1964 (UCLA’s first). [/QUOTE]
