I don't disagree they were good, but Versace thought BU was better (I did and still do as well), and the fact that Gavitt was closely tied to BC made it even harder to swallow that BU got relegated to the NIT...when we played such a far superior schedule.
 
Oh, I agree, I was just sayin that I didn't realize they had Adams and Bagley at the same time. In fact I didn't even realize Bagley attended Boston College.
 
No. Gary Williams was coach at American, who Bradley played and beat in the 1982 NIT.

Boston College was indeed the likely last team into the then-48 team NCAA field.

Tom Davis was the head coach at Boston College, and they reached the Elite 8, losing to Houston.

The Final Four that year included Houston, Louisville, North Carolina, and Georgetown.

And for the record, BU probably was better than BC that year. However, you can't complain about BU not getting in without pointing out BC did to an extent vindicate their selection.
 
As Houston pointed out, Williams did coach at BC.

The 1982 postseason was at the end of the 1981-82 college basketball season.

Gary Williams was at American through that season. He led the Eagles to the 1982 NIT, where they lost to Bradley in the first round.

Tom Davis coached BC through that season. After leading the Eagles to the 1982 Elite Eight, Davis was hired to coach at Stanford.

Williams replaced Davis.
