Cincy was #4. Duke was #1 almost all season before being upset by Indiana (who we'd beaten in Alaska) in the Sweet 16.
Ah, my bad. May have been confusing them with an earlier or later version, they were definitely #1 at some point during my tenure. It may have been a year or 2 earlier against the Wardle-led team. Maybe the team with Kenyon Martin?
yeah, that 1999-2000 team with Martin with #1 much of the season. We played them on ESPN on a Sunday (back when that was a huge deal) and we were down 29-2 at one point. I remember Martin blocking a shot about 10 rows into the stands. If Martin doesn't break his leg in the CUSA tourney they may have been able to beat Michigan State for the title that year. He was an absolute beast in college.
