53. La Salle, 1954 Tom Gola rightly is remembered as "The Guy" for the Explorers in 1954. He averaged an unfathomable 22.8 points and 20.4 rebounds in the NCAA tournament. But he was surrounded by a terrific supporting cast -- and only one senior. Frank Blatcher averaged 13.4 points per game, Fran O'Malley 10.2 and Frank O'Hara, the lone senior, 6.8. The ability of Ken Loeffler's team to spread the wealth not only made La Salle tough to defend, it made Gola almost unstoppable. -- Dana O'Neil espn.go.com/ncb/feature/video/_/page/Top75champions/ncaa-75-college-basketball

Gola practically invented the game of basketball. Love that he's getting the recognition. Love that the #15 shirts were distributed this year to students. We have this amazing story that few people appreciated enough until Giannini made it one of his many (among many many) team projects.

I didn't see the "undefeated" 2004 St Joe''s team on the list?
