I will be posting one college basketball question per day up to the night of the Final. Oh yeah - each question and answer will be applicable only through the 1996-97 season.
ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'S QUESTION:
Al McGuire
TODAY'S QUESTION:
Name the only team to play back-to-back triple overtime games in the tournament.
And when McGuire rejected an invitation to the NCAA tournament because of where the NCAA wanted Marquette to play, a call questioning the decision came from the Marquette president's office. McGuire refused to reconsider.
“Father,” he sternly told the caller. “I don't hear confession and you don't coach this team.”
(The priest called back 15 minutes later and said, “You're right.” Marquette went to the less-prestigious NIT tournament instead and won the title.)
