Stop me if any of this sounds familiar. It has been more than 5 years since the Bulldog men have made an NCAA tournament appearance. The previous season, the team had fewer than 20 wins and finished under .500 in conference play. The Bulldogs just wrapped up a pretty weak non-conference schedule with a lone loss that came against a ranked Cincinnati team. The Bulldogs went on to open conference play with a strong home win against a ranked opponent. No, I’m not describing the current season. This is the 2001-2002 season that saw the Bulldogs make their first tournament appearance since their 1996 Final Four run.
