Some basketball information (it is that season): [Edit: I think they left out that Connecticut is the only school to ever win the Men's and the Women's NCAA tournaments in the same year; heck, it may be the only school to win both tournaments no matter what the year. . .] Some interesting individual and team records: - UCLA's Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), is the only individual to be the Final Four's Outstanding Player three times, the only player to be a concensus All-American with three consecutive NCAA titles, and the only player to hit better than 70% of his field goal attempts in two different title games (1968 and 1969). - John Wooden is the only coach to have a double-digit total of Final Four victories, being 21 - 3 in Final Four appearances with UCLA (1962 - 1975). - UCLA's Bill Walton is the only player to have as many as 20 field goals in an NCAA championship game (21 of 22 against Memphis St. in 1973). - Bill Bradley (yes, the Senator), at Princeton in 1965, is the only player to score more then 80 points in two Final Four games, he also made 16 of 16 free throws against St. Joseph's in 1963 (East Regional), and 13 of 13 vs. Providence in the 1965 East Regional. - Julius Erving (Dr. J) is the only player to score more than 30,000 points in his pro career after never having appeared in the NCAA playoffs. - Houston is the only school to reach the Final Four and the College World Series Championship game in the same year (lost to ASU in 1967). - Magic Johnson is the only player to be named the Final Four Outstanding Player (Michigan St. 1979) and NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (Lakers 1980) in back-to-back seasons. - Kansas is the only school to reach the Final Four under five different men- Phog Allen, Dick Harp, Ted Owens, Larry Brown and Roy Williams. - Indiana is one of two schools to win the NCAA in four different decades (1940, '53, '76 and 1987), Kentucky is the other. - Loyola of Chicago (1963) is the only school to use just five players in a championship game, upsetting Cincinnati 60 - 58 in overtime, and the same team was the only team to defeat an opponent by at least 50 points in a tournament game (114 - 42 over Tennessee Tech in Mideast Regional '63). We remember listening to Red Rush "call" one of the Loyola tournament victories - "Swisheroo for two, that's swella fella, just like a loaf of Gonnella bread - G-O-N-N-E-L-L-A - Gonnella, that's swella fella!" -Ray Meyer, who compiled a 14 - 16 record in 13 NCAA tournaments with Chicago's DePaul University, is the only coach to go more than 40 years from his first appearance to his last (1943 to 1984). - North Carolina is the only school to be in the NCAA tournament every year since conferences were first permitted to have more than one entrant in 1975, and Dean Smith is the only coach to lead teams to Final Fours in four different decades. - Ohio State is the only school to reach the Final Four three consecutive years on two separate occasions (1944 - '46 and 1960 - '62). - Oklahoma is the only school to compete for the National Championship in both football and basketball in the same calendar year (1988). - Pennsylvania is the only state with more than six different schools to reach the Final Four and eight to reach the semifinals (Duquesne, Penn, Penn State, La Salle, Temple, St. Joseph's and Villanova. - Bill Russell at San Francisco is the only player to have gotten more than 41 rebounds in a Final Four game (50 in 1956) and more than 21 in a championship game (27 in the 1956 final against Iowa). - Jerry West at West Virginia is the only player to score at least 25 points in eight consecutive NCAA tournament games (1959 and 1960), and the only player to rank in the top five in both the NCAA tournament (30.6 per game) and NBA playoffs (29.1 points per game). Even though it is known as March Madness, this year's Final Four will be held on April 2nd and 4th, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis - we wonder how many new records will be set in this year's tourney.
