Shots inside the paint, shots outside the arc, shots in your arm as a vaccine! We got a shot, folks.
We have a tournament in 2021. A zombified contest that may have a great deal of COVID interference left to play out, but we do have a tournament this spring. The University of Kansas streak of 31 straight tournament appearances marches on.
When it comes to talking about the NCAA Tournament, looking at the history before the glorious 64/68 team spider web bracket became a reality in 1985 is irrelevant. Sorry, UCLA. Your 10 pre-1985 titles look less impressive when you only had to face regional opponents for three games to win it all. Bill Self is Mr. Elite Eight. If it only took three games, the man would have a drawer full of rings right now. But it doesn t, and the NCAA Tournament is a gauntlet that few teams can navigate successfully. So any title earned 1985 and on is that much more impressive.
