Re: John Wooden
If I remember correctly, back then only conference champions qualified for the tournament. And that wasn't always that easy because USC (tapping my fading memory once again) was often a very good team (top 10?).

Each conference was only allowed to have one entry into the NCAA tournament. In the 1974 ACC Championship game, Maryland lost to N.C. State 103-100 in double overtime. Maryland had one of the best teams in the country and finished 23-5 (with three of those losses to N.C. State), but they had to settle for an NIT bid.
