For the college sports fans out there...

I happened to catch part of SportsCenter last night when I saw that Providence beat Boston U in the NCAA "Frozen Four" to win the national title.

Now, normally, I wouldn't care, but seeing as I had also seen SportsCenter a few nights ago (now you get my viewing habits) when they had a guest appearance by Jack Eichel who was the player of the year.

So, it led me to thinking...

• Boston U had the player of the year in hockey and they lost in the championship game
• Wisconsin had the player of the year in college basketball and they lost in the championship game
• Oregon had the Heisman winner (same thing) and they lost in the championship game

So, I was curious if this tri-fecta had every occurred before and, if so, when?

ESPN...what say you?
