With his fourth straight NCAA tournament bid, Shaka joins only Al McGuire and Buzz Williams as Marquette coaches to accomplish this feat.
Al had seven in a row 71-77, Buzz had five straight 09-13.
Of course Al's streak would've been longer had they not turned down the invite in 1970.
Let's hope for deep run and keep this streak going next year!

What coaches could've made it if they'd stuck around longer?
Crean obviously, a blind monkey could've gotten the 08-09 team to the tournament.
Could O'Neil have gotten the 95 team to there? (assuming he meets what Deane did in 96)
Was there a major injury that made us miss out for Raymond's 4th year?
Roster malpractice.
