With 4 teams in the Sweet 16, I thought it would be nice to pull up the longest consecutive Sweet 16 streaks for each program:


Kentucky - (6) - 1968-1973

Alabama - (4) - 2023-2026
Arkansas - (4) - 1993-1996 & 2021-2025
Florida - (4) - 2011-2014
Tennessee - (4) - 2023-2026

LSU - (3) - 1979-1981
Oklahoma - (3) - 1987-1989
Texas - (3) - 2002-2004

Auburn - (2) - 1985-1986
MSU - (2) - 1995-1996

Georgia - (0)
Ole Miss - (0)
Missouri - (0)
South Carolina - (0)
Texas A&M - (0)
Vanderbilt - (0)

That’s not what the thread is about. I guess you could start a thread on that if you wanted.

How’s the NIT going?

Right? What a random thing to blurt out. Those guys are really having a hard time.

Seeing some of those streaks makes me think of the 80s/90s in the SEC. Mid 80s/early 90s were some good times in SEC bball. Dale, Wimp, Sonny, Nolan, Eddie, Sloan. Good stuff.

They only made the sweet 16 in 2019 and 2025 also the two years they made the Final Four.

I was shocked that they had only made the sweet 16 a total of four times prior to 2019.

Charles Barkley, Chuck Person, Chris Morris. What's amazing is that 1984 was Auburn's first ever NCAA Tournament team, in Barkley's last year. They were never good, and then somebody figured out if you could sign multiple NBA-tier forwards, you'd be good.

I still remember when the 84 Olympic team (best ever college team) was in trials, Barkley and Person were among the last cuts. Rumor was that Barkley was actually good enough but didn't get along with Bobby Knight. Person ended up being an alternate.
