Ex-Dead Teams Walking: Colgate and Brown Finally Reach 20-Victory Plateau

Colgate (24-10), after posting only four winning records in previous 23 seasons, set a school record for most victories in a single season. It was the first time the school ever reached the 20-win plateau. After Colgate shed a big blemish on its hoops resume, it appears Brown would become the only long-time NCAA Division I institution never to be part of a 20-win season at the major-college level. But the Bears concluded the campaign with a 20-11 worksheet. After being mired in mediocrity for so long, kudos to Colgate and Brown for leaving their status as the only universities never to post a 20-win campaign despite participating at the NCAA DI level more than 60 years.
