Will there ever be a team dominant enough to do it again?

Teams have come close. I'd say it is more possible than other feats in sports.

Of course, all athletes were better and more powerful in the 1960's, so nevermind.

Yes and I think it will happen in the next 10 years.

Uh yeah..

It almost happens way too frequently to think it would never happen again.

The problem is the 6 games you have to win the tournament and the addition of conference tournaments. The last team to do it (Indiana) only had a 32 team tournament and no conference tourney.

I think the closest recently was Illinois in 2005 lost to Ohio State on a last second Matt Sylvester 3(for those that don't know, Matt sucks)

UK lost two games last year, one close one, and one then in the SEC final of the tournament.

You also have to think about the advent of the 3, leveling the playing field, that happened in 1986.

There was a stretch with Memphis under Coach Cal that they would lose no less than 3 games a season.

Gonzaga is the only team I can think of. In the regular season. OVERALL?????????? NO WAY.................

This is what makes UCLA'S 88 game winning streak so special.................

I'll say yes.

Would have to be a team in a weak conference.

Gonzaga was close this year, and St. Jose's was close a few years back.

Won't be a power conference team.

If I'm not mistaken, when Indiana did it it was still a 16 team tourney.

GTFO. Any MSB regular knows I'm not a fricking bandwagon fan.

1939–1950: 8 teams
1951–1952: 16 teams
1953–1974: varied between 22 and 25 teams
1975–1978: 32 teams
1979: 40 teams
1980–1982: 48 teams
1983: 52 teams (four play-in games before the tournament)
1984: 53 teams (five play-in games before the tournament)
1985–2000: 64 teams
2001–2010: 65 teams (with an opening round game to determine whether the 64th or 65th team plays in the first round)
2011–present: 68 teams (four play-in games in the first round before all remaining teams compete in the second round)




Indiana did it in 76'
