Although it wasn't called that at the time, and was the inferior tourney to the NIT for several decades.

The first time a 'Final Four' became a concept was around 1978 to 1980. Before that it was just losing one round before the championship game, not something anyone aspired towards.

          no(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/1 13:01:00
     Norm 65.5% while at Mizzou(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/1 13:00:19
          CM has a career record 60%.(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/1 13:02:09
     I'd say Cuonzo, way more gimme games in the non-con - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 13:00:04

                    I think it will be relatively close(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/1 13:17:45
                         Norm had 7 seasons with 3 or less conf losses - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 13:21:30
