Bumping a topic from many years ago of an opponent that captured some interest and intrigue.

A few days ago I heard on the news that the Carleton Dynasty took its first hit of any kind in 21 years.   They went 13-9 for the season, and missed the national finals - an 8 team tournament.

This was after a 20 year run where they went 404-21 (95%), and had won 17 national titles.

There were signs that things were "falling" a bit last year after a 20-4 season, that resulted in only a "7 seed" in the final tournament of 8,   But they managed to still win that tournament for the national title.

I can't tell you why things fell apart this year as I don't live in Ottawa, and don't listen to much Ottawa sports radio anymore.  And can't find any articles online either.     Although even when I did listen, the coverage was never that significant.  The CIS has much more of a niche following than the NCAA.

I did find this in an article from 2023 
"The Ravens dynasty began with former head coach and now director of basketball operations, Dave Smart. Before stepping down in 2019, he had won 14 national crowns and nine OUA championships in 20 years at the helm.

With Charles moving from the Ravens' women's coaching job to the men's, the standard and culture built on hard work hasn't changed — and neither has the raising of championship banners."
