Oklahoma State

Good call!  Been a long time since I looked at my NCAA championship history book (it only goes through the early 90s since that's when I got it).  That was in the era where arguably the NIT was just as, if not more, prestigious as the NCAA.  I think even Adolph Rupp at Kentucky said something like the NCAA was the lesser tourney back then.

A couple interesting tidbits about Coach McCasland:

- He has never won a regular season finale in Denton.  0-5 in 5 seasons.

- As a HC (anywhere), he has never lost a post season first round game.  At Midwestern State, he made it to the E8 both years.  In Denton, he won the CBI in year 1, won last year's NCAA R64 game, and secured his first NIT win yesterday.  His one year at Ark St did not involved a postseason.

I was at the game when we played Cincinnati in their NCAA championship year in 1961 at home.  Hogue, Thacker, Yates and Bonham were four of the starters. That was in the Missouri Valley Conference days.  That was when the MVC was called the Valley of Death.  It was also the year after The Big O had finished.
