1. 13 straight tournament wins. We've all seen the stat, but worth sitting with it. Tied for the longest winning streak in the tournament as we recognize it. The UCLA years were a different world.
2. 5 straight NCAA tournaments. Tied Calhoun's record. Seems very likely to be broken next year. If this is a down year, sign me up. And to those who would say, "At least in those days we knew they were going to be down years," you're remembering wrong. We went into every one of those missed tournament years thinking we could compete for an NCAA berth.
3. Two decades without a second-weekend loss. That was our MO for years -- a nice run that came up just short of the Final Four. As of now, the last time we lost in the Sweet Sixteen or Elite Eight was 2006. Some missed tournaments in there, plus more than our share of titles. A random stat, but crazy.
