Picture Perfect: Cards May Be Last Obstacle Keeping UK From Running Table

"We will either find a way or make one." - Hannibal, Carthaginian military commander

UCLA, in a stellar 10-year stretch from 1963-64 through 1972-73 ruling the scene much like Hannibal, accounted for four of only 12 squads to go undefeated since the start of national tournament postseason competition in the late 1930s. After Louisville failed to catch Kentucky with a post-Christmas hangover, the Wildcats could become #13 insofar as the SEC appears particularly mediocre.

UK was soundly whipped by undefeated LIU in 1938-39 before the Wildcats went unbeaten themselves 15 years later. The average number of defeats the previous year for the first 12 unbeaten teams was five. Thus the Wildcats will need to buck history because they dropped 11 games last season. The only time in major-college history that two undefeated major colleges met in a national postseason tournament was the 1939 NIT final between Loyola of Chicago and Long Island University. LIU (23-0) defeated Loyola (21-1), 44-32.

In a seven-year span, all-time greats Lew Alcindor (UCLA in 1966-67), Bill Walton (UCLA in 1971-72) and David Thompson (North Carolina State in 1972-73) weren't freshmen but they were in their first season of varsity eligibility when leading their unbeaten teams in scoring. Following are the schedules and team statistics for the 12 squads, including the last one to achieve the feat in 1975-76 (Indiana won five regular-season games by fewer than five points or in overtime), to go undefeated since the start of national tournament postseason competition:
