While I normally have little interest in St John's and also have little desire to see Pitino, the conference as a whole needs something besides us and Nova (if they can make the right hire to replace Neptune).

To give an idea of where the remainder of the conference has been:

The last current member (not named UConn or Villanova) to win a game in the final four was Butler (not even in the BE at the time) in 2011, which was a repeat of Butler's 2010 run.

The last current member (not named UConn or Villanova) to make the final four as a BE school was Georgetown in 2007, the only other appearance in the 2000's (it's 2025 by the way) was Marquette in 2003 (not a member at that time).

The last current member (not named UConn or Villanova) win a game in the final four was as a BE school was Seton Hall in 1989.

Below is a list of the historic final four presence of each of the other nine members:

The results are pretty sparse, with much of it occurring prior to expansion to 64 (now 68) schools in the tournament.
