The game held at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City had 10,864 on hand and a National audience tuned in. The 98 points scored by the Bruins also set an NCAA record for most points scored by a team in the tournament. The previous record was set by Lasalle, who scored 92 in 1954.

There were a variety of heroes on the Bruins squad: Gail Goodrich scored 27 points, Kenny Washington knocked down 26, Jack Hirsch scored 13, and Hazzard had eleven points to his credit. While Hazzard wasn't at the top of the points scored category, he had directed the show that brought the Bruins a title. He had dished off assist after assist before being fouled out with six minutes and fourteen seconds in the contest. Minutes later Hazzard celebrated with his teammates as a champion.
This was the beginning of one of the most legendary runs in sports history. The Bruins were just the third unbeaten team to win the National Title. To date, there have been 7 undefeated National Championship teams in basketball. The Wooden led UCLA Bruins own five of the seven spots on that list. It was a run of basketball college basketball dominance that will never be forgotten. Legendary.
