Speaking of that 1976 team, I was curious how they did that year so I looked it up

 

They didn't beat Creighton either

Went 18-8 and didn't get any bids either. That is why history is sometimes messed up.

 

We would have a really seed now if we get that record.

 

Man how times have changed.

Yes 1976 the NCAA was only a 32 team tournament - and nearly all of those were the conference champs.  1975 was the first year there were any "at-large selections" prior to then the only way you got in was to win your conference.   In 1974 Maryland was ranked #2 or #3 in the country at the end of the year and did not get in the NCAA tournament.  Not sure how many at-larges there would have been in 1976 - but definitely fewer than 10.  The 64 team field did not come into existence until 1985.

Well that would explain the lengthy delay getting out of there.

I actually saw the same thing so glad someone else posted it.  But, actually, if the pattern continues, it's going to be 4 more wins followed by 3 losses, a win, 3 more losses and then 4 more wins.  I'd go with that.

Nerd alert:

 

Our win/loss record is a palindrome right now.

 

WWWWLLLWLLLWWWW

 

It appears that we're much worse off than expected. We're falling into a pattern instead of a palindrome...
