A little sports trivia on a Monday morning

All correct except Ohio State, which won only once (1960).

And for a minute I thought you meant South Florida instead of San Francisco.

 

Just looked up the answer. That’s a good one. You could give me a list of schools and I wouldn’t have picked it.

 

Oklahoma A&M?

 

Now known as Oklahoma State, BTW.

 

In honor of the people on ESPN's bracket madness marathon (or whatever the hell they called it) claiming (wrongly) that the deepest tournament run by an Ivy League school was Cornell's Sweet 16 trip in 2010, what actually was the deepest NCAA mens basketball tourney run by an Ivy League school? Two schools share the honor. For bonus points, the teams that knocked those Ivy Leaguers out are themselves conference rivals. Name them.

 

Princeton in 1965 with Bill Bradley, knocked out by Michigan. Penn in 1979 knocked out by Michigan State. Each reached Final Four.

 

Dartmouth twice lost the title game back in the 1940s. Not sure who they lost to, though.

 

That's the one.

 

From 1956-1966, the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA men’s tournament came from a losing team 9 out of 11 times. Since then, it’s only happened once. Who and when?

 

The Dream the year that NC State won.

Dartmouth lost in '42 to Stanford (after beating Adolph Rupp's first Final Four team in the semifinal) and '44 to Utah
