Here are Philly’s most memorable college basketball playoff moments — men’s and women’s — chosen by The Inquirer’s sports writers and columnists.
The Philadelphia area has been home to some of the most successful college basketball programs of all time.
Whether it is the City Six colleges or surrounding institutions, teams are defined by their postseason success, with win-or-go-home pressure when it matters most. Championship banners in college basketball only fly if a team succeeds in March and early April. Playing in its the first NIT since 1938, Temple makes its second visit to the Madison Square Garden event a memorable one, beating Boston College 89-76 in the championship game. John Baum scores 30 points for the Owls and collects 10 rebounds, but — inexplicably — loses the MVP vote to the Eagles’ Terry Driscoll. How? The vote was finished before the game was even over: There were six minutes left when Driscoll was picked.
After Villanova beats Big Five rival Penn, 90-47, in the Eastern Regional final, the school finally makes it to the Final Four. The Wildcats defeat Western Kentucky in double-overtime, then give UCLA a fight in the title game. They ultimately fall short, 68-62. despite 25 points from Howard Porter, the tournament’s most outstanding player. The NCAA later vacates all of Nova’s results after Porter is found to have signed a professional contract during that season.
