55. Bill's big tourney

UCLA's Gail Goodrich, Edgar Lacey and Kenny Washington all made the 1965 all-tournament team after helping the Bruins win the national title. So did Cazzie Russell, a guard on runner-up Michigan. Yet, it was the fifth player, Princeton's Bill Bradley, on that all-tournament team who earned Most Outstanding Player honors in '65, as he dominated the tournament and led Princeton to the Final Four. After losing to Michigan in the semifinal, Princeton crushed Wichita State in the third-place game, capping off a tournament run in which Bradley recorded 177 points and 57 rebounds in five games. -- Teddy Mitrosilis
