Great analysis!!! I would argue the great basketball years were seasons 1959-1971 with six NCAA bids, four SWEET 16s, a FINAL 4 plus an NIT ELITE 8. The ‘68 team with future pro players may have been the best WKU ever to not make postseason.
That's totally fair, as well. I was grouping all sports together in that time around the early '70s or so. There were a few really nice achievements in some of the other non-basketball sports that I was accounting for. But absolutely, the golden era of WKU Athletics in general was about the time you said. Absolutely.
