We confess, we’re still suckers for the movie version of Jean Shepherd’s “A Christmas Story” (excerpt above). So, we hope your holidays are everything you wish for. But please, don’t shoot your eye out!
We’ll be on vacation from today through Sunday. In the meantime, here’s an updated version of our sortable table showing season won-lost records, and sets won and lost (in both cases, including results from the NCAA Tournment) for all the Final Four teams from 1998 through 2009. You can click on the arrow at the top of each column to reorder (e.g. by place finish, conference, number of matches won or lost, number of sets won or lost).
