UCLA Basketball: Bruins Place Among Most Successful College Basketball Teams Ever

Whenever one thinks of success in the college basketball world, the UCLA Bruins usually come to mind instantly. They've been doing this winning thing for quite some time now and have produced so many NBA-level and overseas players that it's getting very hard to keep track of. Top recruits know that if they go to Westwood, they'll be joining an environment that looks to make them the best player possible.

Just take a look at the most recent UCLA squad from last season. They made a great March Madness push and were playing excellent basketball all year, only to miss out on an Elite Eight appearance due to a number of injuries to key players and a heroic shot by Gonzaga.

But many of their guys went on to join NBA teams such as Jaime Jaquez, Amari Bailey, Jaylen Clark and Tyger Campbell just to name a few. They will represent UCLA wherever they go and they are a testament that the Bruins know what they are doing.

NCAA experts put together a list of the most winningest teams of all time at the collegiate level and UCLA placed in the top nine.

All-time record:

1989-892

Winning percentage:

.690

First season:

1920

UCLA owns two of the three longest winning streaks in college basketball history, but starting their program almost two decades later than most other teams on this list has handicapped the Bruins in this ranking.

It's great to know that the Bruins are still getting recognized for all of their achievements to this day. They have a long history of competing and we hope to see them continue to build up this reputation over the next couple of years.
