NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
57. Kansas, 1988
Plagued by injuries, the Jayhawks were just 21-11 on Selection Sunday and considered an NCAA tournament "bubble team." But Larry Brown's team received an at-large bid and was given a No. 6 seed, which was all Danny Manning needed. Manning averaged 24.8 points that season and clearly saved his best for last. His 31-point, 18-rebound performance in the NCAA championship game over No. 1 seed Oklahoma sparked the Jayhawks to an 83-79 victory. Manning became the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft months later. Brown left after the season to become coach of the San Antonio Spurs. -- Jason King
