Wow either Wichita St. or George Mason will be in the Elite 8! With all of these upsets, I would't be suprised if Bradley got in too! Usually only 2 or 3 of the 4 #1 seeds make it into the final four.

1987, UW went to the Sweet Sixteen as a #12 seed. We beat 5th seeded Virginia, 64-60, then 4th seeded UCLA, 78-68 in Salt Lake City before losing to #1 seeded UNLV in Seattle 92-78.BigWave96744 wrote:That's ok, Wyokie,
I'm sure you can tell us off the top of your head, the year Wyoming did the best in the NCAA tournament.
Incidently, according to my 1997-98 WAC media guide, that 1987 team is the lowest seeded WAC team to ever go as far as the Sweet Sixteen!
Also, UW won the National Championship in 1943 (Big Whooppee ). We beat Oklahoma, Texas, then Georgetown. Afterwards, we beat St. John's, the NIT Champions, in a charity event to help fund WWII. At the time, the NIT was in higher regards than the NCAA Tournament. Go figure!

Oh Dear GOD! A New York City team losing to Wyomingites! That musta been a fluke. Sorry, no disrespect, but New York is basketball's Meca, and to lose to a team in Wyoming....ugh! It pains me now, to see how far down NYC basketball has fallen (outside of highschool and playgroung ball).Afterwards, we beat St. John's
This bracket thing is wierd. I have 3 of my final four teams out, and I'm in the middle of the pack. Wonder what the future folds...C'mon Duke, win it all!
Forza Italia, campioni del mondo!

The game was played on April 1, 1943 with the Pokes winning 52-47 in overtime. I think the game was played in New York City since the entire 8 team NCAA Tournament was played at Madison Square Garden. As I said before the St. John's game was a charity event so...I wouldn't go to pieces over it, BK.BKWarrior wrote:Oh Dear GOD! A New York City team losing to Wyomingites! That musta been a fluke.

Incidently Wyoming finished that year at 31-2. The two losses were at Duquesne and at Denver Legion (no clue as who they were).
Our coach then was Everett Shelton who coached in Laramie for 20 years (actually 19 since there was no team in '43-'44). The national title was in his 4th season at UW.
A little trivia: Kenny Sailors who played on our national championship team was the inventor of the jump shot. I think someone on GOWYOGO said he was native of Wyoming but don't hold me to it.
