Forgotten teams, forgotten seasons.....

[rico]

Every so often I get on sports reference and just look around at different teams and seasons.  I had completely forgot that we weren't the only team that headed into the '76 Final Four undefeated.

Some really interesting things there.  

• The season started in December
• A whole lot of Independents., including big names such as Syracuse. Marquette, and UNLV (there are none today in CBB as far as I know).
• Seton Hall in some conference I never heard of that included Ivy League teams Princeton & Columbia, which means those schools were in two conferences.

They beat the National Champions that season.

And, Paul George wasn't even good enough to start for them.
