Basketball was 1969. I think that might have been Rick mount Lost the nc. UCLA probably.
Then 1980 they lost to a cheating ucla team and took 3rd when they had a 3rd place game. Joe Barry Carroll. I suppose since ucla vacated you could give them 2nd.
And now this year. Final. Good for them. Finally a year they didn’t lose to a double digit seed. Playing for the nc win or lose makes it a successful season and the season finally one that lived up to potential. Somewhere the grandparents are smiling
Wow. 2nd place is successful? Since when? Everyone gets a trophy right?
