Yeah, I mean, UD won back to back conference championships in men's basketball when I attended and while it was sort of novel to be in the NCAA tourney, it was nothing like football playoffs. I remember our battles with Marshall far more than I even remember who we played in the basketball tourney. I know it was Louisville one year and I forget the other.
Thats because delaware basketball sucks dick. Going to the ncaa tournament as a 16 seed and losing by 50 isnt going to be too exciting.
UD basketball has to get to the NCAA's for that to happen....when was the last time that happened?
EDIT....Found the answer to that
Looks like they have only been to 4 NCAA's...never past the first found....and not since 1998
The 1990-91 and 1991-92 teams went a combined 49-12, won back-to-back North Atlantic Conference championships and earned berths in the NCAA Division I national championship tournament. The first year in the NCAA tournament, the Hens lost 85-47 to the University of Cincinnati and the second year they fell 76-70 to the University of Louisville.
ike Steinwedel, Brey took consecutive teams to the NCAA tournament after America East Conference championships in 1997-98 and 1998-99. Those teams went a combined 46-15, with the first falling 95-56 to Purdue University in the NCAA tournament and the second 62-52 to the University of Tennessee.
Average loss of 23 points
Also looks like they have a sub .500 historical record.
