BrooklynBull Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Forty years ago today UB played in its first modern NCAA tournament (after the creation of three divisions for athletics) when they played at the College of Staten Island. Despite being under .500 for the year UB qualified after an improbable run to win the SUNYAC Tournament. CSI was a top 5 team that year, but was so afraid of UB they played Dean Smith's Four Corners offense for much of the second half, so that UB could not make a run at them. UB lost 64-53 and would not return to the NCAA until 2015. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
