We have won:
1951- The National Campus Tournament, (an attempt to created a third post-season tournament to rival the NCAA and NIT. It didn't last long but we won it, creating a great trivia question: How many national post season tournaments have we won: two).
1956- The Round Robin Tournament in Boston.
1963- The Hurricane Classic in Miami. We had Dave Bing and beat Princeton with Bill Bradley 76-71 and Miami with Rick Barry 86-85 in overtime. Cassius Clay, (before he was Muhammed Ali), preparing for the first Liston fight, was in attendance and some of our players got to meet him and spend some time at his gym.
1975 ECAC Playoffs- a preliminary to the NCAAs that we had to win to get it, sort of a conference tournament for eastern independents. We wound up in the Final Four.
1976 ECAC Playoffs
1977 ECAC Playoffs
1977 Carrier Classic, (over Michigan State and Magic Johnson)

(In 1986, they were in Hawaii for the Hawaii-Loa Classic and beat Wichita State and Hawaii Loa but I don't think that was a tournament- they just played those two teams on successville nights. But that's another great trivia question- what's our record in Hawaii? 9-0 in three Maui Invitaitonals 2-1 in the 1995 Rainbow Classic and these two games = 13-1, with the only loss to Massachusetts when they were ranked #1.)
