Dukes had fun players then, Whithead, Alston, Pipkins, Watkins, Hunter, etc.   The NIT bid was fun, actually won a game vs UNC Charlotte, hosted 2 NIT games that year(1993-94).

I remember Efrom Whitehead hitting 5 second half 3 pointers in a comeback win over a ranked Fla St team. I have to admit I left that game at halftime as I was young and had exciting things to do I'm sure.  Obviously, leaving that game still stings today

30 years ago I was a freshman at DU, we got a NIT bid,during my years there, and not much more since.   Its amazing.   Who has the longest stretch without a NCAA bid?   We gotta be top 5.

Ironically the city I moved too with a great academic school and lousy athletics, RICE, has a longer drought than us. Also a few of the "who cares" bottom dwelling Ivies and one of the "Mid Central Lower Tennesee" type schools. That's about it.
