What I take from this is that the Sweet 16 has not been kind to the Vols historically.

So Arkansas is 10-0 in the Sweet Sixteen? Nice.

Kentucky is 36-5 in the Sweet Sixteen
Florida 8-1 in the Sweet Sixteen

Impressive.


ETA: Just saw the note above that Arkansas is only 6-4 in the Sweet 16. I take back my compliment.

For LSU to be tied for 20th in final four appearances, we really should dump more money into the basketball program and go out and find a good coach. The fans want to care about basketball, but have trouble getting behind it after another disappointing season.

State wasn't allowed to compete against schools with black players for a long time when they had teams that were good enough to do so.

In fact, State won 4 out of 5 SEC regular season championships in the early 60s and couldn't go to the tournament. There's a great potential 30 for 30 on the time that the coach and president of the university basically told the governor he could frick himself and snuck out of town.

If there were always at least 16 teams, this would mean Kentucky has a 36-5 record in Sweet Sixteen games. I doubt this is the case, as I believe the tournament had fewer than 16 teams at times in the past, but even if half of their Elite Eights didn't require a Sweet Sixteen win to get there, that would still be an 18-5 record in Sweet Sixteen games, which would still be very impressive.

Elite Eight games, on the other hand...

Out of 36 tries in the Elite Eight, 17 Final Fours and, presumably, 19 losses? Arkansas, Florida and LSU all have winning records in the Elite Eight, although with obviously far fewer games played.

I noticed our numbers don't include the vacated seasons. Don't know if that is the case for everyone, but I know there are at least a couple more runs to put up there, including the '94 Elite Eight.
