#17: 1995 UCLA



The 1995 UCLA Bruins claim the #17 spot on The Top NCAA Champions, Other Than 2003 Syracuse, Of the HumpIdiot Era Countdown.


AJV: "The early/mid-90's were college basketball's glory days. Cameron Dollar's full court drive in Boise was the signature play of the tournament and before the O'Bannon boys were NBA busts they were pretty good college players."

Russianator, "Jim Harrick won a national title, beating Nolan Richardson and the Arkansas Razorbacks in the title game. Both men would melt down spectacularly years later. In Harrick's case especially, it proves sometimes it's better to be lucky than good - and Harrick was when Missouri decided that guarding Tyus Edney was too much work and Edney went coast to coast to get the Bruins into the sweet sixteen. "

Champ, "'95 tourney thoughts: Toby Bailey had hops, Arkansas had no business in that title game (Moten TO game), Big Country Mania was runnin' wild brother!"
