Borrowed from the Caltech Celebration Win gallery
Were they ever known as lovable losers? I don’t know. What I do know is that I love the story of Caltech’s men’s basketball team finally putting their 26-year losing streak to bed. I remember finding a press release about this back in, I think, November and writing a story about it….which got overwritten. Sigh. They had had a chance at ending their losing streak then, but lost the game. This time, they finally did it, and with the media fanfare, you’d think they won a championship! LOL, I love it.
But what everyone seems to forget is that Caltech men’s basketball inspired a storyline on one of my favorite — albeit now-canceled — TV shows.
