As Selection Sunday approaches, I thought I would take a look at some active streaks that are in jeopardy.
Consecutive Tournament Appearances:
1. Kansas 23
2. Duke 17
3. Michigan State 15
4. Gonzaga 14
Texas 14
Wisconsin 14
Texas' string of appearances will end at 14 while the others are definite locks.
Other streaks in jeopardy:
Xavier - 7
Brigham Young - 6
Purdue - 6
West Virginia - 5
Consecutive At-Large Appearances:
1. Texas 14
2. Marquette 7
3. Brigham Young 6
Xavier 6
5. Syracuse 4
Wisconsin 4
Texas, Brigham Young and Xavier will all miss the tournament this year, so Marquette will now have the most consecutive at-large apperances. Syracuse and Wisconsin are in, but their streaks would be snapped if they win their conference tournaments.
The 14 consecutive at-large bids for Texas is an all-time tournament record.
Consecutive years with at least a Top 4 seed:
1. Kansas 12
2. Duke 5
3. Syracuse 4
4. Kentucky 3
Ohio State 3
Wisconsin 3
Kansas, Duke and Ohio State are safely Top 4 seeds. ESPN Bracketology had Syracuse at a 4 in yesterday's bracket, but with their run in the Big East tournament, they will most likely continue that streak. Wisconsin was on the 5 line, so they are on the borderline of receiving a Top 4 seed. Kentucky will definitely not be a Top 4 seed and may not even make the tournament.
Consecutive appearances in Round of 32:
1. Kansas 6
Purdue 6
Wisconsin 6
4. Gonzaga 4
Syracuse 4
6. Kansas State 3
Kentucky 3
Ohio State 3
For the teams making the tournament, we will have to wait until Thursday or Friday to find out if they continue the streak, but Purdue's streak will come to an end and Kentucky's streak is in serious jeopardy.
Consecutive appearance in Sweet Sixteen:
Kentucky and Ohio State have both been to the last 3 Sweet Sixteens. Kentucky's streak is most likely to end even if they make the tournament. Ohio State has a great shot to return. Five teams (Florida, Kansas, Marquette, North Carolina and Wisconsin) have all been to the Sweet Sixteen the last two years. All have a legitimate shot of returning with North Carolina projected as the lowest seed (#7) on yesterday's bracketology.
