No. 1 UCLA 1964 TOO SMALL for 1975 UCLA, 87-64

 The 1964 UCLA starters were all 6'5 or under and would have faced the ultimate modern "too small" taunt from the UCLA team from 11 years later, a team that had a 6'4 point guard and four other players who averaged 6'11.

As you can see from the scoresheet, the giant 1975 squad dominated the previous No. 1 squad 87-64 to advance to the final game against the winner of now No. 1 Cincinnati 1962 vs. No. 7 Kentucky 2012.

Here is the updated top 10, as the 1975 UCLA squad rises to No. 3:

1. Cincy 1962 - 2-0 and +16.6 rating

2. UCLA 1972 - 6-0 and +16.2

3. UCLA 1975 - 3-0 and +13.6

4. Kansas 2008 - 5-1 and +13.0
