The NIT was not THE tourney in the 60's. It was a good tourney, a lot better than today. But, not THE tourney. As I said, before, UConn reached the elite-8 in real tourney in the mid 60's. And dominated PC in the 2 New England tournies of the 70's to get to the big dance.Dominated the 60s? PC won the NIT twice(when that was THE tournament)
PC had arguably one of the best teams to never win the NCAA in the early 70s; but you guys were awesome.
Keep it up, you're awesome
And, yes, I am awsome...Also, PC has been mostly irrevelent since the inception of the BE. Not so for UConn.
Bottom line is Gold standard for 23, not 15 years. Damn good, in the BE for 27 years. Beat PC for the NE title twice in the late 70's. Elite-8 in the 60's. Not bad....
