In overtime, a player can commit a fifth foul before fouling out. Previously, a player fouled out after committing four fouls, regardless of whether the game went into overtime or not.[1]
Season headlinesEdit
In February 1943, the Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively selected its national champions for the seasons from 1919–20 through 1941–42. Beginning with the 1942–43 season, it began to pick each season's national champion annually, a practice it continued through the 1981–82 season.[2]
The 1943 NCAA Tournament championship game between Wyoming and Georgetown was the only one in history not filmed for posterity.[3] It had a smaller crowd than expected because of the greater local interest in New York City in the championship run St. John's made in the 1943 National Invitation Tournament.[3] Until at least the mid-1950s, the NIT was the more prestigious of the two tournaments.
As a fundraiser for the American Red Cross, the finalists and semifinalists of the NCAA Tournament and NIT took part in the Sportswriters Invitational Playoff, in which the two tournament champions, Wyoming (NCAA) and St. John's (NIT), and the two runners-up, Georgetown (NCAA) and Toledo (NIT), played each other at Madison Square Garden after their tournaments ended, with the games counting in the teams' records for the season. The NCAA Tournament teams prevailed in both games: Wyoming beat St. John's 52–47 with 18,000 fans in attendance, and the Hoyas defeated Toledo 54–40 to close out the season.[3][4][5][6][7] The post-tournament benefit games — touted as the "mythical national championship" between the two tournament winners[7] — would be played again in each of the next two seasons.[7]
After the end of the season, Georgetown suspended all athletic programs for the duration of World War II Ripley moved to the head coaching position at Columbia the following season.
