"Murray State Reaping the Benefits of It's Magical Season"

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/basketball/ncaa/07/09/Murray-State/index.html

but it remains to be seen if it can be sustained -- already they are having...
"difficulties of luring quality opponents to visit a team that's gone 41-3 at home the last three years.
"We can't get any games," Prohm says with a laugh." This trap is common for emerging lower- and mid-major teams"


But - one question...
we also had a "magical season" - or at least an incredibly memorable Sweet Sixteen season, right??

And we also had a ton of mentions and publicity as an offshoot of beating Kansas & Pitt, and a HUGE boost in $$ support and donations from 2006 up thru 2008...
so we had exactly what they're saying Murray State is enjoying right now - then ...well - it's gone - the only publicity we're getting now is for losing a lot of games...........we need to turn this around, we need to get the fans back......

Well to tell you how much this probably matters to the average person. I saw the title and thought when was Murray State in the final four? Thinking back I now remember they were undefeated for a long time and had one loss most of the season. Did they advance far in the tournament ? I really have already forgot how they did.

I remember Bradley having IMO great series with Murray St. Always a tough opponent.

I remember the series with Murray State, too, back in the '60s and '70s. I wonder why BU hasn't played them in such a long time. To answer my own question, it's probably because they've gone their separate ways.
