This is terribly misleading. The NCAA tournament was only 25 teams in 1964 when Wooden won his first. Win one game and you’re now in the Sweet 16. Hell, in 1965, it was even less at 23 teams. Also, only league champions were invited to the tournament.

And UCLA proceeded to stomp everything on their way to 10 of 12 national championships. So at most they got an extra 2-8 pts from the off years when they didn't win it, assuming they finished a spot or two worse in those two years.
