Pretty impressive.   When you put the resources and have a passionate fan base you can make things happen for your program.  Congrats to all involved.

And if Al had not spurned the NCAA for the NIT, we would be tied with ND and Nova for 9th.

Our current streak is 6.  I thought I read that only 10 schools have a current streak of 6 or more.  Is this correct?

That's really pretty awesome if you think about it.  Go us!

Just keep making it every year and build the program up to that next level.  What was Arizona before Lute Olsen took them to like 24 straight tournaments?  Now many people consider them a second-tier program - just behind the big boys.  (it would help to win a few tourney games along the way as well...)

I don't think we are getting in the Top 10 anytime soon. In the next decade, we could pass IU or ND. Not saying 11 isn't impressive. I'm just a number guy and looking how high we could go up.
