Have we ever hosted a previous years final 4 team?

Yes, Memphis State in the early 70's, I think.

Didn't we host UVA in the NIT the year after they won the championship or was it two years after?

1/10/1963     Cincinnati (Natl. Champs)

2/8/1964       Cincinnati

3/3/1966       Wichita State

2/10/1970       Drake  We won}

1/27/1973       Louisville  (We won)

2/9/1974         Memphis  (we won)

Dang, it didn't seem that long between their title and NIT game with us. I guess because of Covid there was only one championship between the two mentioned games.

I think I'm thinking of their lacrosse team who won national titles on both sides of the Covid year.
