We were a football school back then. Hoops was just a distraction until the annual Spring Game.
Well the NIT didn't exist until 1938 and the NCAA Tournament didn't exist until 1939. In those days, the NIT took 6 teams and the NCAA took 8. Very difficult to get in with fields that small.
Got it,thanks. still maintain its odd that there's not even a mention of those teams the way that other schools have helms championships etc. oh well
I was just on holylandofhoops and saw all these threads about how St. John's and seton hall were super dominant back in the 30s 40s and 50s and it got me wondering why there's not even an NIT invite pre 1955? We didn't have a ton of great seasons but in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1933, 1934, 1938 & 1939 we had records that seem pretty good. Why no invites or attention from national media?
But I imagine the same can be said for Madison and yet they managed a national championship.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
in 1941, 7 of the 8 bids came from conference champions. The approximate 73 independents competed for a single 8th slot along with the other conferences not included in the 7 bids.

We had a pretty chance in '23 until Chris 'Otulegot injured.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
