Title: Rarity in these days of parity: 3 straight Sweet 16s
Post by: MU82 on March 26, 2013, 10:13:32 PM
Among the schools that haven't reached the last three Sweet 16s:

Kentucky
Duke
North Carolina
Indiana
UCLA
Syracuse
Michigan State
Louisville
UConn
Illinois
Wisconsin
Arizona

Yes, we want Marquette to win it all, or at least get back to the Final Four, but nobody should underestimate just how impressive this accomplishment is.

Nice job, Buzz and Boyzz!

Kentucky won it all last year? I'm confused as to what you are saying.

Yeah. I figured. Hahaha. Just a little confused, seeing UConn and UNC up there.

What about Minnesota?  Isn't that a better program too.

Meh.

According to Brewcity77, we're just a team with a B average.

I'd take a 1st Round NIT exit if it meant a National Championship and a title game appearance in the previous 2 seasons.
