1944 NCAA CHAMPIONS

The Utes were invited to both the NIT and the NCAA Tournament at the end of the 1944 season, but chose the former. At the time, the NIT was a much bet- ter tournament financially, and the chance to play in New York’s was something the Ute players, and especially coach Vadal Peterson, wanted to experience. Kentucky was Utah’s first opponent in the NIT and even though the young Utes played well, they couldn’t overcome the experience of the Wildcats and fell 46-36. While the Utes were still seeing the sights of New York before heading home, Peterson received a phone call from the NCAA asking them to participate in their tournament as a late fill-in for Arkansas, which was involved in an auto- mobile accident, making the team unable to play in the tournament. The Utes quickly accepted and headed to Kansas City, where they beat Missouri, 45-35, in the first round and Iowa State, 40-35, to advance to the championship game back in Madison Square Garden against Dartmouth. The game was close throughout, with the lead changing hands six times in the last two minutes. At the end of regulation the two teams were tied at 36 and the game headed into overtime. Arnie Ferrin, who scored 22 points that night, netted four points in the extra Head Coach Vadal Peterson (top row, left) led Utah to the NCAA Championship in period.

1947 NIT CHAMPIONS

Three years after accepting an NIT invitation that turned into an NCAA Championship, the Utes were again invited to the prestigious New York tourna- ment. This time, the Utes helped the state of Utah celebrate its centennial by com- ing away with the 1947 NIT Championship. The Utes won the three games in the tournament by a total of seven points, beating Duquesne, 45-44, West Virginia, 64- 62, and sneaking by Kentucky, 49-45, in the championship game. Arnie Ferrin, Wat Misaka and Dick Smuin, veterans of the ‘44 NCAA Championship run, were mainstays of this team, but center gar- nered tournament MVP honors. Fred Weidner also played a major part in the championship. The NIT crown was the last of the three major basketball champi- onships to allude the Utes, making the the only school in his- tory to win the NCAA, NIT and AAU National Championships.
