how many times has a team beaten another tourney team 3x in a season?

[WeAreDePaul]

Obviously I'm talking about Tennessee vs Kentucky. Kentucky is 2-0 vs Tennessee this year.

I still remember 1988 when Oklahoma beat Kansas twice, but couldn't get that 3rd victory when it mattered most, in the national title game.


So I was wondering how often it has happened where one tourney team has beaten another tourney team 3x in a season. Bonus points if that 3rd time happened in the tourney.

Probably never happened but there could be a chance a team has beat another team 4 times in a season.

twice regular season, conference tournament, NCAAT

duke and UNC might now something about this.

 

[JC for 3]

3 of UK's losses this season are to 'Bama. They are simply an awful matchup for UK.

Doesn't quite answer the question but I saw the other day that when teams meet for a 3rd time in the same season, and one team won the 1st two, they also win the 3rd 73% of the time. I'm guessing many of those are in the tourney.

There was also the 1985 Villanova champs. 0-2 vs Georgetown in the regular season, but got past them in that 3rd game.

would love to see a link to that discussion.

Also I don't trust anything that comes out of your mouth since you're right behind me in the pick em standings.

Duke beat unc 3 times this season.

Could have been 4.

If both Michigan schools win, they'll face each other for the third time this season.

thanks. The problem I have wiht that stat is it doesn't differentiate between tourney and non tourney teams. I can see where that would greatly alter the numbers. For instance, how many times has this scenario happened with a dominant college team beating a terrible team twice and then facing them in round 1 of the conference tourney?

I'd rather see the stat as it only pertains to two tourney teams.

 

[Blueheart32]

Another wrinkle. It’s easy to understand how a top conference team beats a team much lower in the conference 3 times, but how often does the underdog win the 3rd game after winning the first two?

The 2000 Mich St team beat Wisc four times...twice in regular season, once in conference tourney, then again in the FF.

And it's of note that Wisc only broke 50 pts in one out of the four games, haha.

Would it be safe to say that Wisconsin was essentially cleaved by MSU?

UK beat LSU three times in 86, then lost to them in the FF.

Auburn has already beat ole miss 3 times this year. Could play a 4th time this sunday if we both win tomorrow

I gotta believe that beating a team a 4th time is easier than beating a team a 3rd time. Like by the time you get to that 4th game you completely own that other team.

I can't argue with that logic.

Bama beat KY 3 times this year, at Rupp, at home and in the SEC tourney.

Duke beat Carolina three times this year. So it wasn’t long ago.

Oh! Hah! I didn’t even think of that my bad. I can probably undo that at this point.

I was just talking to Lurkeraspect the other day about how there’s a couple of posters that I wish would get more involved, you being one of them!
