Sports Trivia thread -- NCAA Tournament edition

1954 - LaSalle and Penn State

 

Bingo, you're correct.

 

Next question, since the Big East took an unprecedented three teams to the Final Four in 1985, it's been the norm for a conference to be represented by two teams in the national semis. It's happened 15 times since 1985. In what years did it NOT happen?

 

Kansas was the fourth team that year.

One down, five to go.

 

1998 North Carolina and Kentucky. Can't recall the other 2 but I don't think they were same conferences.

 

Utah and Stanford were the other teams that year.

Two down. Four to go.

 

Let's see... I know 1993 qualifies. UNC, Kansas, Michigan and Kentucky.

 

93 and 97 are right.

Two left.

 

95 as well, if memory serves.

 

We're down to one.

 

1986.

Louisvile (Metro), Duke (ACC), Kansas (Big 8), LSU (SEC).

Folowup: I scored 29 points in two games for my team in the 1966 NCAA tournament. I later coached my team to the national championship. Who am I?

 

1986 was mentioned. As were 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1998.
