CONSECTIVE FINAL FOURS

[TWG236]

30 different teams have reached the NCAA Women's Final Four with 12 different teams winning a National Championship.

Tennessee 18 appearances with 8 NCs,
UCONN 16 appearances with 10 NCs,
Stamford 12 appearances with 2 NCs,
Louisiana Tech 10 appearances with 2 NCs,
Notre Dame 7 appearances with 1 NC,
Georgia, Louisiana State & Maryland 5 appearances with only Maryland winning 1 NC,
Duke 4 appearances with no NCs
21 additional teams have made 3 or less appearances with Baylor and Southern California winning 2 NCs and North Carolina, Purdue, Texas and Old Dominion winning 1.

UCONN has the longest consecutive appearances with 8 (2008 - present)
Stamford is second with 6 (2008 - 2014)
Notre Dame has 5 (2011 - present), UCONN 5 (2000 - 2004) & Louisiana State 5 (2004 - 2008) are tied for 3rd.
Tennessee has made 4 consecutive appearances three times (1986 - 1989, 1995 - 1998 & 2002 - 2005) and Louisiana Tech also made 4 (1987 - 1990) are tied for 4th.
Virginia (1990 - 1992), Auburn (1988 - 1990) and Louisiana Tech (1982 - 1984) all made 3 consecutive appearances and are tied for 5th.

I believe both UCONN and Notre Dame have a really good chance on keeping their streaks going. Go UCONN

 

[carpe diem]

Thanks for this interesting analysis. I am continuously amazed at the number of different ways we find here to exemplify UCONN WBB as the very best now, in the past 21 years, and if we had that crystal ball, into the future. It is fun and gratifying to wallow in their success, for as fans, it also becomes our success. There is that lurking fear that it will some day end, but usually we are able to deny that that could happen anytime soon, and we go on basking in the sweet glow of NC after NC. It is addicting, and I thoroughly enjoy it. As they say, "it is a great ride".
