    Here are the current streaks of appearances by seeds:

    Tournament Streaks

    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.

    Biggest Win over #1 Ranked Team

    With Miami's 27-point win over #1 Duke last night, I wondered what the largest defeats by #1 teams in the tournament have been.

    The following are the largest margin of defeat for teams that were ranked #1 in the AP Poll entering the tournament:
    • #2 UCLA defeated #1 Houston 101-69 (32 points) in 1968 National Semifinals
    • #4 Kansas defeated #1 North Carolina 84-66 (18 points) in 2008 National Semifinals
    • #9 Marquette defeated #1 Kentucky 83-69 (14 points) in 2003 Elite Eight
    • #2 Cincinnati defeated #1 Ohio State 71-59 (12 points) in 1962 National Championship
    • #8 Michigan State defeated #1 Louisville 64-52 (12 points) in 2009 Elite Eight
    • #3 Michigan State defeated #1 Indiana State 75-64 (11 points) in 1979 National Championship
    • #2 UCLA defeated #1 Michigan 91-80 (11 points) in 1965 National Championship
    • #5 Duke defeated #1 Temple 63-53 (10 points) in 1988 Elite Eight
    • #5 Cincinnati defeated #1 Kansas State 85-75 (10 points) in 1959 Elite Eight
    The largest margin of defeat for a #1 team in the Sweet Sixteen is #13 Florida over #1 Duke 87-78 in 2000.

    The largest margin of defeat for a #1 team in the Round of 32 is UCLA over #1 DePaul 77-71 in 1980.  That game is also the largest margin of defeat for an unranked team over a #1 team.

    Between 2006 and 2009, the #1 team was defeated by 8 or more points each year.  Only one other time in tournament history had there even been consecutive years in which the #1 team lost by 8 or more points (1959 and 1960).

    Records vs. Top 5 Winningest NCAA Tournament Teams

    Before Kansas came back to defeat Texas today, someone on Twitter commented that Texas could possibly defeat both North Carolina and Texas and not make the tournament.  Although they still will play Kansas again this year, the chances of that happening are probably slim.

    However, it made me wonder how teams have done against the top all-time tournament teams in a single year and all-time.

    There are five schools that have won more than 90 tournament games all-time.

    • Kentucky 113
    • North Carolina 108
    • UCLA 100
    • Duke 96
    • Kansas 93
    14 schools have at least 5 wins all-time vs. the "Top 5" schools led by Indiana
    • Indiana 9
    • Marquette, UCLA 8
    • Duke, Kentucky 7
    • Kansas, Ohio State 6
    • Arizona, Florida, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, Syracuse, Villanova 5
    The schools that has the most victories vs. the "Top 5" without a defeat is Texas El-Paso (formerly Texas Western) with 3.
    • Defeated Kansas 81-80 in 1966 Elite Eight
    • Defeated Kentucky 72-65 in 1966 National Championship
    • Defeated Kansas 66-60 in 1992 Round of 32
    Arizona is the only team to ever defeat 3 of the "Top 5" in a single tournament in 1997.
    • Defeated Kansas 85-82 in Sweet Sixteen
    • Defeated North Carolina 66-58 in National Semifinals
    • Defeated Kentucky 84-79 (OT) in National Championship
    11 other teams have defeated 2 of the "Top 5" twice in a single tournament. Teams in Bold won National Championship
    • Texas El-Paso - 1966 (Kansas, Kentucky)
    • Houston - 1967 (Kansas, North Carolina)
    • Western Kentucky - 1971 (Kentucky, Kansas)
    • Florida State - 1972 (Kentucky, North Carolina)
    • Louisville - 1986 (North Carolina, Duke)
    • Michigan - 1993 (UCLA, Kentucky)
    • Kentucky - 1998 (UCLA, Duke)
    • Florida - 2000 (Duke, North Carolina)
    • Maryland - 2002 (Kentucky, Kansas)
    • Michigan State - 2005 (Duke, Kentucky)
    • Villanova - 2009 (UCLA, Duke)
    Five of the above teams ended up losing to one of the "Top 5" also.  They were Houston, 1967; Florida State, 1971; Michigan, 1993; Michigan State, 2005 and Villanova, 2009.

    The combination of schools that have never been beaten in a single tournament among the "Top 5" are:
    • UCLA and North Carolina
    • UCLA and Kansas
    • Duke and Kansas
    Here are the times where a school defeated one team, but lost when they had the opportunity to defeat the other:

    • UCLA and North Carolina - 1967 Dayton, 1969 Purdue, 1972 Florida State, 1993 Michigan, 1995 Arkansas, 2009 Villanova
    • UCLA and Kansas - 1952 Santa Clara, 1967 Houston, 2008 Memphis
    • Duke and Kansas - 1990 UCLA, 1993 California, 1994 Purdue
     27 schools have at least 7 losses all-time vs. the "Top 5" led by Kansas
    • Kansas 12
    • Louisville 11
    • Michigan, Michigan State, Villanova  10
    • Utah 9
    • Illinois, Indiana 8
    • Iowa State, Marquette, Notre Dame, Purdue  7
    • Arkansas, Duke, Kentucky, New Mexico St, Ohio State, San Francisco, Syracuse, Temple  6
    • Arizona St, Connecticut, Houston, Miami (OH), North Carolina, Princeton, Xavier 5
    Louisville in 1972 was the only team to ever lose to two "Top 5" teams in a single tournament when they lost to UCLA in the National Semifinals and North Carolina in the National Third Place game.  Of course with today's format, no team can lose more than one game in a single tournament.

    The most wins and losses all-time vs. each of the "Top 5" are:
    • Kentucky - Marquette - 6 wins; Utah - 6 losses
    • North Carolina - Kansas - 3 wins; Michigan State - 5 losses
    • UCLA - Florida - 3 wins; San Francisco and Kansas - 5 losses
    • Duke - Kentucky - 3 wins; Connecticut, Kansas, Michigan and St. Joseph's - 3 losses
    • Kansas - UCLA - 5 wins; North Carolina - 3 losses
