agree with you. it wasn't. it was, at the time, the longest win streak in college sports history and still the longest winning streak in men's CBB history. Against a hated opponent who was, by the way, the greatest dynasty in men's college sports history. None of which, of course,I need to remind you. Crap! You wrote a whole book on this stuff!

I also would,obviously, agree, if it was an NCAA Championship win or, maybe even, a win to go the the Championship game. But, to go to a Final Four? I don't see it. Without an NCAA Championship win, I don't see any win as eclipsing UCLA.

I'm clearly biased because I was at the 1974 UCLA game. But, I was also at the 1978 DePaul game in a half empty Allen Field House to go the Final Four and it wasn't really anywhere near as big as UCLA (maybe in part because we assumed it would be the first of may Final Fours, wasn't at home, vs. DePaul, yada, yad, yada).

Just one man's opinion.
