I was a tad younger then, so I don't know any of the back story or if there were internal issues. But...how do you have two solid years, 96-97 especially, only to bomb in the tourney twice, against a 15 and 14 seed respectfully?

Fogler was a good coach, yeah? 15-1 in SEC play with two wins over a Kentucky team that ended up as National Runner-up isn't anything to overlook. There had to be some other reason Coppin State dominated that game.

Fogler was a lazy recruiter. We were guard heavy. Coppin St played a mean 2-3 zone similar too our current defense.

BJ McKie was one of the best players in SEC history. He could take over a game.

The Coppin State game to me is the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history. a 15-2 that could have been a 16-1.

Coppin State didn't even have a band. They borrowed one from one of their rival schools.
