Looks like it's indeed six. Went and saw the list...would have only gotten two right (and one because of a technicality) in Kansas and Michigan State. Two more make sense because of the recent success of those programs (Gonzaga, Baylor). Would have never hit the last two to be perfectly honest.

Only 2 blue bloods on that list. Gonzaga ain’t a blue blood but they have the 2nd longest,active streak (behind Mich State) with 24 consecutive appearances. I forgot Kansas had their streak derailed in 2018 due to some “issues”… but they still make the list of 4+ years in a row.

Purdue, Houston and Tennessee round out the list.

Interesting to note the big names missing - including some *blue bloods: d00k*, Kentucky*, UConn*, Nova, Michigan, UVa., Louisville, ‘Cuse… and of course UNC*
 
Just figure out I misread the wikipedia table, so it's more than six (think that's the number the have made it past first round four years in a row).

Looks like the count is 14.

I believe it was 6 before last season.
If you look at 5+ in a row 6 is the number.
Did 8 teams with 4 in a row make it last year?

The longest active NCAA tournament streaks

Sustaining excellence in college basketball is no easy task. But some teams have active ongoing streaks that have lasted two decades.

I don’t know if I would consider vacated wins a derailment of the streak. The wins may not be there on paper, but I saw Kansas go to the Final Four in 2018.

Only because it’s inconsistent and hypocritical is it an issue but I’d think you wouldn’t want teams that were caught cheating to get credit for their accomplishments.

Credit or no credit, you can’t erase actual history and it doesn’t mean a certain accomplishment didn’t happen. But also keep in mind that these wins weren’t vacated due to Kansas cheating. The wins were vacated because Silvio De Sousa was subsequently ruled ineligible due to payments his guardian received from a Maryland booster to steer him to Maryland and due to $2,500 his guardian received to pay for De Sousa’s online high school courses.

In any event, Kansas’s streak was broken based on having the NCAAT appearance and wins vacated as the result of having a little-used player deemed ineligible due to payments he received unrelated to Kansas rather than based on having a subpar season.

It’s really not that important.

I don’t think there’s any debate that Kansas is one of the top 2 programs in recent history and top 5 all-time.
 
This is basically a tournament game for UNC. UNC is 46 in the net rankings, and it’s going to be hard to climb a lot in conference games. Especially given the odds are high that they will have a few bad losses (like all teams will do).

It’s crazy that this game, if a loss, will all but end their chances of dancing.
 
Our guys can’t seem to figure out where they are on the court. Three turnovers from guys standing out of bounds when they catch the ball.
