College basketball lias seen only four modern dynas
ties - by modem I mean in the last 25 years and they
are I'CIA. Kentucky. Indiana and North Carolina.
The dynasty is the school that does not recruit, but
selects. When it calls the blue-chip high school athlete,
the phone is always answered. It is usually the school
in the state as Jar as tradition and prestige, the school
that is habitually on national television.
Most obvious, of course, is the world created by John
Wooden, the Wizard of Westwood, at ('VI. A. Nobody
won more than John Wooden. Marling m lVM.hevvon
10 NCAA titles in 12 years, a record that will never be
Al
McGuire
matched. That makes him the Caesar of College Basket
ball, and Larry Farmer - his disciple, his Marc Anthony -.
is carrying on today.
The Bruins normally go nine deep with every kid being
an all-stater and potential first-round draft choice. They
normally win more than half their games during warmups,
and their cheerleaders are better known than the winning
reams of some major conferences.
Second is the University of Kentucky, which started
with "The Baron," Adolph Rupp, who won 880 games
in 41 seasons; the dynasty is being continued today by
Joe B. Hall. The Wildcats seat 23.000 for every home ball
game at Rupp Arena, and have done more damage to the
Southern Conference than Sherman did when he went
through Atlanta.
The Wildcats are true thoroughbreds. They have won
the NCAA Championship five times, and they run pro
bably the best college basketball program in the nation
today. Basketball in Lexington is a way ol lite, socially
oriented, the 1'ark Avenue sport tor the ln-crowd, and
Hall is just one of hundreds ot thousands who bleed blue
in the commonwealth.
At Indiana, again the baton has been passed, this time
from Branch McCrackcn, who won the national title in
1953, to Bobby Knight, who has won it twice since he
took over for McCracken in 1972. Basketball in Indiana

"We should have made a run at them at the end of the
jj first half, when they had only two starters in," Johnson
II said. "When we didn't do it, we had no choice but to do
BI it in the second half."
1 Clutch free throw shooting helped Nebraska complete
its comeback. The Huskers made 12-of-14 charity tosses
IS down the stretch, including two by guard Greg Downing
r that gave Nebraska a 65-62 lead with 38 seconds left.
H Those free throws by Downing followed what was
f perhaps the game's most controversial play.
Hornacek stripped the ball from Downing following
an Iowa State miss, and went in for a layup.
H If Hornacek's shot has counted, the Cyclones would
have taken a 64-63 lead. Instead, the ISU guard was
whistled for a foul, enabling Downing to shoot his- free
throws.
"It was a late, late call," Iowa State Coach Johnny
Orr said. "He (the official) didn't even see it, and called
it a second late. But that's the way it goes. There's
nothing you can do about it."

815 "O" Street (under viaduct)
is a lloosier llysteiia that makes football take a rumble
seat and lights up the moonlight on the Wabash. Bobby
Knight's dictatorial style of yesterday is also the envy of
every coach who has a fear of administration, parents or
ballplayeis. Knight is his own man, the master chef of his
own restaurant who tells you what to order, cooks the
food his way . . . and it's so good the customers keep
coming back for more!
Rounding out the magic four are the Tar Heels from
Chapel Hill! who have won everything in sight with the
dynasty, starting with I rank McGuire when North
Carolina was the' NCAA Champ in 1957. Now they have
broken through the sound barrier under Dean Smith, who
made it to the Final Four six times and finally grabbed
the brass ring last year.
Now just what makes a dynasty? As I said, that school
has to be the school in the state, it has to govern its con
ference, and it's always the team the other seven or eight
schools vote against. It has to come from a basketball
state, which all these four do, and it has to be the sport
in the school. It also has to get network exposure.
The coach of a dynasty is a power broker inside his
own school, and many times in his home state; a guy
everybody wants to see run for governor. If he has a bas
ketball camp in the summertime, it's always SRO, and
without any bin advertising campaign. He has his own
TV and radio show, and is a key clinic speaker, a guy
his tellow coaches want to Hear.
The last, and maybe more important, criterion of a
dynasty is that it has to repeat again and again. Kind of
like tlie popularity given to Miller High Lite. I he lour
teams I mentioned - UCLA, Kentucky, Indiana and
North Carolina - have won the NCAA Championship
20 times among them: UCLA 10 times, Kentucky 5,
Indiana 3, and North Carolina 2. The NCAA is 26
years old, which means these four have won the title
more than half the time.
There is one school, in my opinion, that is knocking
on the door to join the dynasty club and that's Louis
ville. All the ingredients are there: Denny Crum has
brought the Cardinals out of the shadow of Kentucky,
they're almost there, they've come dose. But they still
don't have the key to the executive washroom yet, be
cause of the Wildcats at Kentucky, who are in the pro
cess of building their own Ming dynasty.
Center Dave lloppen added two free throws with seven
seconds remaining, which put the finishing touches on
Nebraska's 16th consecutive victory at home.
"I felt they were both in," lloppen, who scored a
game-high 25 points, said. "When Greg made his free
throws, I felt 1 had to make mine, too."
Harris' uncontested layup for ISU with four seconds
left accounted for the final margin.
"We were very fortunate to win the game," Iba said.
"I was very happy for the players. I would have felt very
bad for them if they had played so hard and we hadn't
won."
The Huskers, who are now 16-6 overall, face what is
certainly their stiffest challenge of the season this week.
After traveling to Norman, Okla., to face the Sooners
Thursday, they will host lOth-ranked Missouri Saturday,
Those games could make or break Nebraska's post
season tournament chances, but Johnson is eager to take
on the two Big Eight pre-season favorites.
"We've heard a lot about finishing in the top half of
the standings," he said "But I want that Big Eight
championship ring."
