Before that you routinely had powerhouse teams that would finish 2nd in their conference not participate in the NCAA tourney, so the means by which we assess college basketball now didn't really apply directly to prior eras.
All of Kim's seasons were worse, and Kim's last two teams were worse in terms of talent. Quin's final team that he quit on in the middle of the season in 2005-06 was worse. The season after Stipo/Sundvold graduated was probably worse or equal. Maybe you could argue 1977-78 was worse, but I don't think you could argue that very effectively.
