Metro 7 Update

I still miss the Metro Seven, which was one of my favorite basketball conferences.  The Metro had a number of different iterations.  I go with the membership as of 1980 -- the year U of L won its first national championship.  As you will see, this is a solid year for the Metro.  Each team is listed in order of its appearance on Ken Pomeroy's rankings:

8.  Louisville:  17-3
16.  Florida St:  17-2
45.  Cincinnati:  12-7
61.  Memphis:  14-5
66.  Virginia Tech:  14-6
85.  Saint Louis:  15-5
177.  Tulane:  10-9
