Not bad considering the last Deane team, first two cream seasons, and first Wojo season are in that time frame.

Take even the first three of those four out and I bet we just up big time

No big surprises in the Top 10 -- although I suspect #7 Villanova and #9 Florida wouldn't have been nearly this high in 1997.

At that point, before Jay Wright arrived, the Wildcats were a very good program. But UConn, Georgetown and Syracuse were better in the Big East. And Florida was yet to enter its dominant period with Billy Donovan.

#10 Texas has fallen significantly in recent years. The Longhorns have cracked the Top 25 just twice in the past eight seasons, and haven't finished in the Top 10 since 2010-11.

#12 Gonzaga is rising fast, with five Top 10 finishes in the past 7 seasons.

#13 UCLA is a similar story to Texas. Just two Top 25 finishes in the past 10 seasons -- including six years outside the Top 50 and two years where they fell out of the Top 100 altogether (2009-10 and 2018-19).

#15 Syracuse has been slowly slipping for a while. No Top 25 finishes in the past five seasons, and only nine Top 25 finishes since 2001.

#17 Virginia is on the rise, with five Top 10 finishes in the past 6 seasons.

#18 Indiana's been headed the other direction, with just one Top 25 finish in 6 years. The same goes for #19 UConn (one Top 25 finish in the last 8 seasons). #22 Memphis has been dropping big time since John Calipari left; only one Top 25 finish in the past 10 seasons.

I'm surprised Illinois ranks as high as it does (#23). Only two Top 25 finishes in the past 13 seasons, with six straight years outside the Top 50. Just shows how good they were under Lon Kruger, Bill Self and Bruce Weber.

Maybe the program that's falling the fastest is #32 Stanford. Eleven straight seasons missing the top 25, including four years outside the Top 100.

Hopefully Marquette can climb the ladder over the next 5-10 years.

So Dayton and SLU (as well as BC, St. Joe’s, and St. Mary’s) are higher than DePaul....

DePaul's ranking isn't really out of line with the worst teams in other Power 6 conferences -- such as #95 Oregon State and #98 Washington State in the Pac 12, #85 Northwestern and #102 Rutgers in the Big 10, or even #87 TCU in the Big 12.

But the fact remains DePaul has consistently been the anchor of the Big East (and not in a good way like something you can count on for reliable support).

First, great that KPom added more years to his sample.

Second, if 33 is the MU benchmark, let’s look at this by coach as to how many of their teams beat that.

Wojo’s: One beat (32 two years ago) and one meet (last season) in five seasons—40%
Buzz: Five beats in six years—83%
Crean: Three beats in nine years—33%
Deane: No beats in three measured years—A big donut

Buzz had the most offensively and defensively balanced teams. Wojo and Crean skew(ed) more offensive, and Deane to the defense. This tells me that Wojo = Crean so far with Wade being the difference. Crean was more up and down for sure, while Wojo is trending more slowly up. You can see why fans are waiting for his breakthrough, though. This is a big year for Wojo.

I was going to say Texas was my only surprise in the Top 10.  They must have been really good early on in this time frame to make up for their last 8 years.

Good post. One small correction, Wojo has only been here 5 seasons.

Informative, level-headed post.

I'm no Crean apologist (or Crean hater), but one small quibble is that I don't think it's fair when some say stuff like, "If not for Wade, he wouldn't have done as well." The fact is, he got Wade, and he deserves credit for it not an asterisk for it. (Not saying you do this, Dr. B.)

Agree that this should be a big year for Wojo. Not sure if MU administration feels the same (from a "going on hot seat" standpoint), but maybe they do.

A couple of general thoughts about how tantalizingly close we are to "being back."

1) Take out the Deane years and the first two Wojo years and... Wow.
2) What separates us from the Top 10-15 teams is consistency. When we're good, we're really very good. When we're bad, well, we're horrid.

What this seems to say more than anything is consistency is everything. That's why I'm pulling for Wojo to have a big year this year -- both on the floor and recruiting. If we get a Top 10 class (and we're on our way to doing so) and go deep in the NCAA tournament, he's going to be the guy. I have no doubt he's as close as we're going to have to a lifer.

Hausergate was a BIG setback in my view. It takes away from the consistency we crave and need and puts pressure on the coach and the remaining guys to play and work outside their skill set. If we recover from this with few bumps and bruises, Coach Wojo will be someone special.

Short answer -- The teams at the top are consistent, in coaching, recruiting prowess and in winning. We can be there, but we have work to do.

Like it or not, 22/24 NCAAs, three Final 4’s during that span over four coaches. MU has missed the Big Dance four out of the last six. This isn’t bashing Wojo as his job was to reset the program...but between MU fans’ expectations based on history and who MU competes with in public sentiment, expectations are sky high.

I agree that footnote on Crean is unfair as he did sign him and develop him so he should get credit. The reason I did mention that is that put Crean into the elite...but it was the anomaly to his norm that came after at MU and IU...which is very seasaw’ish versus Wojo who is on a slow burn up—but with similar comps to this point.

On the Wojo hot-seat issue, a four seed and a top 1-3 BE finish with a NCAA run, he is good to go. This team is built very differently than his past teams...more like a Buzz balanced team on both sides of the ball.
