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.

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?
