Message: [QUOTE="Waquoit, post: 5339783, member: 50"] There's wrong and then there's RuffRuff wrong. You posted: [HEADING=2]Pre-Calhoun NCAA Tournament Results (men’s team)[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][B]1951[/B]: Beat [B]Princeton[/B] 53–52 (first round). Lost to Kentucky in the regional semifinal. [*][B]1954, 1956, 1960, 1961, 1976, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1985[/B]: All appearances ended with [B]first-round losses[/B]. [/LIST] Egregiously wrong. In the 50's alone, UConn made the NCAA tournament in 1951, 1954, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959. You missed 3 freaking years! The only NIT during that stretch was 1955. Notice that stretch includes 4 straight appearances. JC never made it four years in a row. And the Yankee Conference was never an auto-bid league. They had to win an additional tournament back then to make the Dance. And you screwed up the 60's just as bad. They made it 5 times, not twice. And one of the years was not 1961. And if UConn made the Dance in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1985; Dom Perno would have never been fired. What's your excuse for including those years? To put it in context: In the 1950's and 60's, UConn made the dance more times than it missed it. You called it, "[I]once a decade pulled together a team that squeezed into the tournament[/I]". You admit you are not interested in history, you post multiple inaccuracies (that others believed I noticed) and when faced with the real facts you play victim. Folks are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts. No matter the contextual standpoint. ADD: [I]Data Source: UConn MBB Media Guide 2023-24[/I] [/QUOTE]
