| SEASON
SUMMARY:
As in Dicken’s immortal words, “it was the best of
times, and it was the worst of times”, so was the 1991-92 season. The best of times started early as the Big 8 walked through
non-conference foes with a 104-20 (83.9%) record. Then KU finished the conference season three games ahead of
the pack, took the league tournament and were ranked second in the polls.
Six league teams were picked for the NCAA tourney.
KU landed a first seed in the Midwest, and many pundits picked KU to take
it all, or at least to have a return match against Duke in the final.
So ended the regular season.
Then the bottom dropped out.
Two league teams dropped out in the first round, when favored Nebraska
lost to Connecticut, who was playing without their star player, and Oklahoma was
upset by lowly Southwest Louisiana. Missouri,
Iowa State and Kansas all lost in the second round, leaving only Oklahoma State
to defend the conference honor. The Cowboys did make it to the sweet sixteen, but ended
their season losing to the Fab Five of Michigan.
To make things worse, all the bad guys were winning.
Every time you turned around, the Fab Five were squeaking by to another
level, and we had to endure more of Bobby Knight than a normal person deserves.
Kentucky, which should have been banned from basketball for habitually
violating NCAA rules, had their three-point game going through the final eight.
It was the worst of times for this diehard fan.

It was a surprise of parallel proportions in many quarters
when No. 9 seed Texas-ElPaso toppled No. 1 seed Kansas, 66-60 in the second
round of the 1992 Midwest Regional.

HIGHLIGHTS:
KU won the Big Eight conference by three games and swept the conference
tournament. #2 Kansas was seeded 1st in the Midwest, but lost in the second
round to Texas-El Paso, missing a chance to gain revenge for the loss to UTEP in
the 1966 NCAA tourney.
