Yeah that was the year after the most infuriating event in college baseball history had occurred.
CBS had picked up the CWS and decided that for TV broadcast reasons they wanted a single championship game.
But, the problem was, they still left it as a double-elimination tournament with two pools, up to that point. So Texas was undefeated in its pool, while Wichita State had an early loss but made it to the championship from their pool. The Shockers won the "championship game" and thus Texas became the first sports team in history (probably) to lose a double-elimination tournament with a single loss.
To say I'm still bitter about that, would be an understatement.
