Is this accurate?

If this is accurate, I’m stunned and had no idea. CRB has been incredible for TN. Kansas hasn’t missed a tourney in 33 years while Michigan State & Gonzaga are next by a large margin.



Side note: I did some checking and it appears to be accurate.

Not sure why that is stunning. CRB has an excellent track record of getting his teams into the dance yearly. I believe at Texas he only missed out one single time.

It’s disingenuous though. If there had been a tournament in 2020, we likely wouldn’t have been part of it. We’re tied for fifth on a technicality.

Jesus, that’s an overreaction. I love having Barnes as our coach. Just saying that our streak would be 3 if covid doesn’t happen. Not a big deal, Barnes is still awesome. What a weird response on your part.

I think the stunning part is Kansas. 33 straight is insane. Michigan State has been flirting with missing it several times. In fact, I was a bit surprised they're on this list.

And the last time they missed was 1989, when they were the defending national champions but were banned from the post-season due to NCAA violations - Roy Williams’ first season at the helm.

It was on the internet, it has to be true. State law.

Barnes has built a very solid program. Doubt we woujld have made the tournament field in 2019-20 however when COVID shut the season down.

That's such a contrarian, BS statement. We had just beaten UK in LEXINGTON, coming from 17 down in the 2nd half to winning by 9. If we win a couple in the SEC tournament, we're likely in, if you want to go into stupid hypotheticals. As it is, your continued penchant for back handed disparagements should be embarrassing for you.

If I’m being judgment day honest…I could never have envisioned what Rick has done for our program when we hired him. I’m so pleased with the level he has taken us too. And I think we’ll see its effects for many years in the future as well.

Purdue is also on the list due to this same technicality. Don't just point out the Vols if you want to be accurate.

I hope you’re right and the next guy can keep it rolling! Not sure why they couldn’t
Great arena with rabid fan base and great facilities as well. Plus Tennessee is a great place to live! Just ask everyone who’s moving here in droves from all corners of the 🇺🇸 USA!

Gonzaga may be reset back to 0 if they don't get it together ASAP

Gonzaga is the most impressive on this list IMO. Made their first NCAA tourney as a 10 seed in 1999 and haven't missed since. I guess you could argue their conference is weak, but they also have a track record of going deep in the tournament

You’re not being honest if you can’t detect the aura of snipeyness among some of the geniuses in our fanbase who love to be critical about Rick Barnes for some stupid reason….

Do you know for a fact that TN wasn’t going to win the SEC Tournament?

They actually were playing a lot better going to Nashville and then abruptly being canceled. They had a lot of bad luck and unfortunate happenings but there are some that would rather look on the dark side of everything. I mean you would have to look at that list and say, what can I come up with to spin a negative spotlight on this thread. IMO

I didn't think we were likely to win the tournament, but as someone else pointed out the 16-15 Purdue team wasn't likely to make the tournament either. But it's pointless to count it against either team because nobody made the tournament that year.
