You missed only 1, my wise friend. Wisconsin did not make the cut. Another PAC-12 team did (surprisingly)

Want to guess the order?

Thanks, Darryl

Surprised by UCLA but shouldn't be given their success in mid-90s and then under Howland at first

What is truly remarkable about UK is that this 20 year period from 1995-2014 includes the worst 4 year non-probation
era in our modern history (1930 forward). From 2006-09 we won 0 conference titles, 0 conference tourney titles, went
2-3 in the NCAA tourney without advancing past the 2nd game any year, and was unranked 4 straight years.

Hate the coach (Pitino) or love him (Cal)...without those 2 we may be in an Indiana tailspin.

No surprise. UCLA made a little NCAA Final Four run that was pretty impressive before the wheels fell off the Howland wagon.

[UKRxman93]

The thing that really hurts is that UConn has won half their titles at our expense in the last 3 years.
