OT: Sports trivia part 2.

Good guess, but no - Duke played an 8 seed in the 2nd round and a 4 seed in the Sweet Sixteen - in both cases the best seed available.
Good guess, but they played an 8 seed in the 2nd round, and a 1 seed in the Final Four.
I’m sitting here frying my brain trying to remember if we got knocked out by the winning program and what years... what a question. I think I have the answer, maybe?
UNLV in ‘90 never played a 1 or 2 seed, because we were a #3 seed. I am nearly positive they played Loyola in the E8 and I know they played GT in the F4. I’m not sure on GT’s seed but 1 or 2 doesn’t seem right.
I don’t know what Arkansas did in the first 3 games of ‘94 but I know for a fact they played what was left of Fab5 Michigan in the E8 and they were a 3 seed. Which means whoever the 2 seed was got eliminated. The F4 that year Arkansas was the only #1 seed. So they avoided playing a top seed.
Screw it
UNLV and Arkansas, final answer.

You got it! Arkansas went 16-9-12-3-2-2, including a championship game victory against Duke.
DJ and Hart each got half of the question, so either can ask the next.
You got it, but Hart just barely beat you to the punch!
Larry Brown?
(I think there was a coach there between him and Wooden but I’m throwing out a guess anyway)

Two guys in-between Wooden and Brown. Cunningham had a two-year stint, just like Bartow... UCLA lol. They've had 9 coaches in between Wooden and Cronin, and 7 of those 9 have lasted less than six years (Alford was 5 1/2).
Totally stole that answer from @dukedevilz bc Odom and Bynum were taken and the only other Laker I could think of from that era was Derrick Fisher and I know he didn’t score like Gasol. So, I stole @dukedevilz first thought.
Haha just seemed too easy to me. I thought surely there must be a little surprise in this question.
I thought people might go for Bynum...like you did. Those Lakers teams in 2009 and 2010 always just seemed like Kobe and bunch of other guys to me. Very nondescript groups, IMO.
