Trivia: First Victor(ies) Over Eventual National Champ?

[Stallion]

I can't remember one.

[Glenn Sosbee]

Maybe over Valvano's NC State at Moody?

[LA_Mustang]

We not beat NC State during either one of their championship years (74 & 83).

We did play eventual NC Arkansas in 93-94 but they beat us, 96-70.

That may have been the only other time we even played an eventual NC.....

[Stallion]

of course we went to wire with eventual champion Georgetown with Patrick Ewing in what 1984 and lost like 39-36

I was AT that one! That was the mountain top of my experience with men's bball while a student (and we get creamed -- tells you something about my "battered fan syndrome" . . . must forgive me, I'm learning).

FYI - 37-36.

Lost to San Francisco in 1956 FF 68 - 86. And Lost to runner up Kansas in 57.

Was that the year GT won or UNC. We beat UNC earlier that same year.

[Treadway21]

GT won it. In 84. Didn't remember, but after getting my yearbook out, it says we had a 24-16 lead over the hoyas at half. I just remember the how frustrating it was to watch the four corners offense. Glad they put in a shot clock. I also remember LDavis not boxing out Ewing on the missed free throw.
