Highlights:

Fred Taylor and Ohio State lose to Ed Jucker and Cincinnati for the second year in a row after winning the national championship in 1960. In only his fourth year as a college coach, Taylor debuts in first place replacing Branch McCracken at the top of the list.

Kentucky goes 1-1 again, dropping Adolph Rupp a bit to .719 and fifth place.

Oregon State coach Slats Gill goes to the West Regional Finals, losing to John Wooden and UCLA. Gill debuts on the list at .500 in his 34th year at Oregon State.

Jack Ramsay debuts on the list after two losses by St. Joseph's. Technically, Ramsay's 3-1 run in last years tournament was "vacated", but the games are included here for completeness.

John Wooden takes UCLA to its first Final Four, finishing fourth in the tournament. Even with the Final Four appearance, Wooden only manages to debut at .300 with a 3-7 record, just barely out of last place.
