1st time in over 50 years SMU beats 4 ranked teams

The victory over UConn gave SMU four wins over ranked teams in one year for the first time since the 1955-56 season.

I would have thought it is the first time in almost 60 years.

58 to be more precise 8)... not that it is all that important to be precise. :wink:
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Would love to make it 5 top ranked teams to fall to SMU in a year.

Moody opened for the 1956-1957 season

We went to the Final Four in the 1955-1956 season, losing to San Francisco and then losing to Temple in the 3rd place game.

And we've already lost to Temple and (another) USF this year? A strange synchronicity, leading to another Final Four, 58 years later?
