UCLA is a faded blue blood, though Mick Cronin may revive the color


in that program. In the last 45 years, they have 1 championship, 5 final fours (1980 was vacated) and 'only' won their conference 13 times (4 since 2000). Among those, they had 3 tremendous years under Ben Howland from 2005-2007, but around those? They haven't done anything worthy of a Tier 1 Blue blood status. Izzo has done just as much (or more in some spots) at Mich. St for the past 30 years.
