Ca State Who? 
Previous Message
Only 32 teams in the tourney back then.
"In 1978, the Fullerton men's basketball team, coached by Bobby Dye, made it to the Elite 8 in the 1978 NCAA Division I basketball tournament. They were considered the year's Cinderella story as a #7 seed (out of 8). The team defeated University of New Mexico at Tempe, AZ, and then defeated the University of San Francisco before losing to the University of Arkansas in regionals at Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fullerton was led by Greg Bunch, a CSUF Hall of Famer." Previous Message
Since when were these stats generated?
I'll guess that the two teams were UNLV and New Mexico State. If more recent (since the UNLV and NMSU departures), I'll say UOP and CSUN. Previous Message
