Congrats, Bruins!
Sorry, Cal!
Go back to Los Angeles.
It's always better to be around 11 national championship banners.
that one championship in the last 20 years really cements ucla's rep as a great basketball school. just like unc, or duke, or kansas, they pretty much never have a down year. or decade. right?? right??
or maybe it puts them more in a class like nc state, or nova -- pretty good sometimes, other years not so much.
or, even worse, maybe it puts them in a class of indiana: a program terminally in decline since the 1980s.
Yeah we're right up there with Duke's 3 or Kansas' 2 or Cal's........
Since the end of the Wooden era, UCLA has appeared in a whopping 3 final fours. (two of which 1976 and 1980 were within spitting distance of the wooden era anyways. So that means 1 final four appearance for UCLA in the last 25 years.
To recap:
UCLA: 1 final four since 1981
Contra (a rough count):
Duke: 10 final fours since 1981
UNC: 9 final fours since '81
Kentucky: 5 final fours since '81
Kansas: 6 final fours since '81
Hey, I don't give a rat's ass about Cal. Even Houston has more final four appearances since 1981 than UCLA (granted, that was in the early 80s when they had Hakeem and Clyde the Glide...). And perhaps the analogy to Houston is saddeningly apt. Houston and UCLA: two programs whose glory days have come and gone, passed them by.
Eagerly awaiting your response, Armen.
Let's see, you're limiting to 25 years. Final four appearances. Hmmm...skewed stats maybe? Granted, we weren't a perennial contender for the natioanl title under Lavin. But that's about all I'll grant. I'm still waiting for the glory days of Duke and Kansas...maybe by 2085?
UCLA is also nowhere near the top in total wins. The rank goes:
1. Kentucky
2. Chapel Hill
3. Kansas
11. Utah
12. UCLA
13. Oregon State
14. Princeton
Ouch!
