1974–75 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team


In head coach John R. Wooden's final game, the 1974–75 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team won the team's tenth National Championship in twelve years over the Kentucky Wildcats, in the San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, California.
The Bruins defeated Michigan in the first round. In the West Regional, UCLA beat Montana and Arizona State to advance to the Final Four. Washington scored 26 points to give UCLA an overtime victory over Louisville, 75–74, in the semi-finals game. After the game, Coach Wooden announced that the championship game would be his last game.

Season Summary

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, 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 10th, 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.
