Interesting discussion. Oh, if things had only been different, here are a few who might have won . . .

2010 - Butler lost to Duke 61-59
2008 - Memphis lost to Kansas in OT
1989 - Seton Hall was robbed of a title in a game which ended 80-79
1987 - Syracuse lost to Indiana 74-73 before they were in a major football conference
1982 - Georgetown lost to North Carolina 63-62 when Freddie brown's brain froze

One of these years . . .

LOL. Isn't that why we're all still here? Because we believe that once again we will see a small private school do what Marquette did in 1977 when they took it to North Carolina? Because this time little guy will get the call from the refs that Seton Hall didn't get in 1989? That Gordon Heyward's shot will fall instead of missing like it did in 2010?

One time before I die. Just once . . .

What was UNLV considered? I thought they were in the Big West when they won it all.

Yes, they were. Good point. I should have included them just as I did Memphis. I didn't because I was only looking at schools that lost in the title game.

Thanks for picking up on that.

Vegas was one of my favorite teams simply because Tarkanian was going to do things his way no matter what.
