I'am old guy and remember (men's) basketball before the tournament expanded to 32 teams. Plus, the sweet sixteen is the first round that is played on neutral courts. Thus, I tend to think of the Sweet 16 as the "real" tournament.
I am proud that SCar just played in it's tenth straight Sweet 16. Kind of a sign that we are not merely a team, but a "program." However, I didn't initially recognize the distinction as being anything special.
It turns out that only UConn (30 straight) and SCar have active Sweet 16 appearance streaks of at least 10 straight appearances. That's it.
As far as Terminated 10 or more year streaks, there's Tennessee, Stanford, Notre Dame and Baylor. (Team Mulkey's streak ended her first year at LSU but she has had like 14 out of the last 15)
I may have missed one or two programs. There are others who have had 5-10 straight years. (Notably, La Tech had like two nine game streaks separated by a year or two of coaching change.)
I might have missed somebody. There might be a few active programs that are getting close to ten. Heck, five straight active is probably a fairly small club.
How's your program looking?
