Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 2777267, member: 27"] No gas from Mike here. SU did win the Big East tournament in 1981 at the Carrier Dome, but the Big East was a new league and would not be awarded an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament until 1982 (this was before the tournament expanded to 64 teams). SU was not selected for an at large bid to the NCAA tournament, and fought through a number of injuries to make it to the finals of the NIT tournament before Nolan Richardson and Tulsa took us out. In the Garden. [/QUOTE]
