I was in high school at Provo High at the time. Very fun team to watch. We did not win the conference that year so we did not go to the NCAA tournament. Only one team from each conference went back then. Utah went to the NCAA tournament and made it to the final four. BYU did beat Utah both times though. Texas Western won it all and later became UTEP and joined the WAC. Awesome that 3 teams that would eventually be part of the WAC would win NCAA, make it to final 4 and win the NIT in a time when only one team from each conference made the NCAA tournament. This was the one year in the 60's that UCLA did not win in a 7 year run.
