Their coach at the time, Hugh Durham who came to Georgia in '79, took Jacksonville and Artis Gilmore to the National title game in 1970 and lost to UCLA 80-69 in one of the two years between Alcindor's and Walton's tenure.


Hugh Durham took FSU to the Final Four in '72 before losing to UCLA. Jacksonville was coached by Joe Williams according to wiki.

With enough luck Bama will make it there at some point in the hopefully not too distant future.

The coaching is there, just missing the talent and shooting ability (which is pretty necessary for a successful basketball team).
