List of Shame Stable Again
We had a near miss but the list of shame remains the same again for this year. William and Mary almost made broke out...they lost the CAA title game by just a point. That would have been their first trip to the Big Dance. So, what's left is the usual 11. Below are the 11 teams with NCAA droughts longer than BG's.
Side note. UT has not been in the final since 1980. Who did they beat in the MAC final that year? Bowling Green. I was there. Crisler Arena--first tournament ever for MAC. Rockets by 15. One of 3 MAC Championship games the Falcons have lost in the 34 years they have played the tourney. Teams that have won in that time: Toledo (1), Ball State (7), EMU (4), CMU (2), WMU (2), Akron (3), Kent (5), Miami (4), Ohio (6) and NIU (1). Just us and Buffalo (0). (And Marshall, I forgot about them).
