Program #3


3.  UCLA 797
When a program wins the most national championships of all-time you would think that it would be the number one program.  The case can obviously be be made for the Bruins to be the number one program.  According to our formula they come in at a close number three.  Obviously, UCLA gets the most points for national championships and they load up on conference championships.  The most staggering number that comes from this program could bet that 103 players have been drafted to the NBA from this program.  Much like the Jayhawks the names associated with this program have changed basketball forever.  John Wooden is the first one that comes to mind.  Coach Wooden led the Bruins to 10 national championships in 12 years with a third place finish thrown in there.  UCLA had the most remarkable run of championships ever.  In that championship run they finished four of those seasons undefeated.  They won 88 games in a row that was the most ever.  Some of the most staggering numbers in all of sports.  Some of the other names associated with this program are:  Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabaar), Bill Walton, Gail Goodrich, Jamaal Wilkes, Kiki Vandeweghe, and Reggie Miller just to name a few.   UCLA's most recent national championship came in 1995, but the Bruins went to the final four in 2006, 2007, and 2008 under coach Ben Howland.  With that kind of success you can gurantee that UCLA will be there for years to come.
