NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
60. Jamaal Wilkes, UCLA
Everyone remembers the titans of John Wooden's legendary Bruins teams; it is a testament to just how dominant the Bruins were that a player as good as Wilkes could get lost in the conversation. But Wilkes was a key player alongside Bill Walton for the UCLA teams that won 88 games in a row and made back-to-back title runs in 1972 and 1973 (as well as a third-place finish in 1974). He scored in double figures in all 12 NCAA tournament games he played in. Later, as an NBA All-Star, Lakers announcer Chick Hearn would dub Wilkes' jump shot the "20-foot layup." It was every bit as devastating in college. -- Eamonn Brennan
