But wait, there's more....the Doc Hayes coached SMU beat #2 ranked Louisville in the 66/67 season. SMU has been there and done that!

When was our last win over a top 5 team in hoops? Certainly not since Bliss left and not sure it happened while he was coach........
PonySnob, since you don't know....Actually SMU did beat #5 ranked North Carolina in 84/85 season. SMU went on to be ranked as high as #2 in the nation that year. They were the hunted. Yes, it was under Bliss. 
That was just before my time and I wasn't really following SMU hoops until 1987.

Let's set the record straight....
Under Bliss SMU defeated UKentucky @ Rupp, then headed east to Chapel Hill and defeated UNC. Both were good teams that year.
Had they beaten a pretty decent Texas Tech team @ Lubbock, they would have been ranked #1 in the nation. If memory serves me correctly, score was closer than actual game.

If my memory serves correct that team then tanked the rest of the season after that game.

But still made the tournament IIRC.

That team and that tournament are the reason I know that Loyola Chicago's nickname is the Ramblers
