Programs Winning National Titles One Year After Heartbreaking, One-Goal NCAA Tournament Losses

[PulpExposure]

Maryland losing to UNC in overtime in the 2016 title game, and then winning it in 2017.

Was live for the first. Got my heart stomped on.

Yep, had that one.

And 2021 - lost to UVA in the championship by a goal. Won it all in 2022.

Yep you sure did. Missed them when I originally read the thread.

The numbers would be worse, if I had all the teams that lost tight games late in the tournament. Just last year you had Delaware, PSU, Army, Cornell, Virginia, Princeton, and Maryland lose 1 goal games in the tournament.

And if I were a betting man I would put money - GOOD MONEY - on the odds against all of those teams winning the NC together this year.

I predicted Maryland and Virginia to get to the semifinals, and a few of the others seem like possible q-final teams.

good luck with putting money on 7 teams to win the NC and expecting to win money

I'm not a gambling man either, but I think when he says "the odds against all of those teams winning" he means that he'd bet they won't win the NC. He can correct me if I'm wrong.

I meant that the odds of those teams COLLECTIVELY raising the trophy in unison to celebrate a SHARED National Championship are rather low.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks! That's about as low as it gets.
