Season summary

[edit]

This UCLA team was far from the most talented coached by the legendary John Wooden. It was a team without superstars, in fact, but it turned out to be one of Wooden's favorites,[citation needed] for it sent him into retirement with a 92–85 victory over Kentucky in the 1975 National Title game behind center Richard Washington’s 28 points. The championship was Wooden’s tenth, a record which still stands for men's coaches. Geno Auriemma of Connecticut broke the overall basketball record by winning his 11th title in 2016.
