What's this?

Haven't seen it mentioned, we now have the 8th longest active streak of

NCAAT appearances. It's time for it to start feeling weird when VT is not in the tournament.

KU - 32
MSU - 24
Gonzaga - 23
UNC - 11 *
Villanova - 9
Purdon't - 7 ** (edit at first I only went by Kenpom, they were 24th, but bracket matrix which is probably a better measure had them in just 2 brackets of 97; double edit: see below)
Michigan - 6
VT - 5 *

* bailed out by the fact that 2020 tournament was cancelled.

** Purdue had not been eliminated from their conference tournament, but they'd have had to run a 4-win gauntlet from the 10 seed (obviously, I deem that possible :-))

Put an extra asterisk on Michigan for getting in this year -- whatIpostlike 03/14/2022 1:33PM

Unless their conference guy is running the selection committee... -- EDGEMAN 03/14/2022 1:36PM

You aren't going to give Duke an asterisk for missing 2021 because of COVID -- hoosnowahokie 03/14/2022 12:45PM

I think they were 13-10. Not sure about a tourney team. ** -- vatechcowpatty 03/14/2022 1:00PM

That would have made them a 3 seed ** -- WV Gobbler 03/14/2022 4:09PM

Yeah, seems unlikely. They were a 10 in the quarter finals when they -- jmanatVT 03/14/2022 1:36PM

Good point. I didn't make the list and didn't think to give them a pass -- jmanatVT 03/14/2022 12:50PM

Don't see why, they missed a tournament that was played -- SteveInBaltimore 03/14/2022 12:48PM

If those are active streaks, why wouldn't every team have an asterisk? ** -- HokieSignGuy 03/14/2022 12:33PM

Asterisks were mine. I don't think we or UNC get in to a 2020 tournament -- jmanatVT 03/14/2022 12:40PM

Oh, I see... I get it. But since it impacted everyone the same, I'm in -- HokieSignGuy 03/14/2022 12:50PM
