Seems like that should be updated to the last 30 or 40 years. Not sure how relevant the 60's, 70's or even early 80's is to program quality today

It should be pre-1985 and post-1985, when the field was expanded to 64. Prior to 1975, they only allowed one team per conference to go to the tourney and with byes, it only took one win for some teams to advance to the Elite Eight.

But still, that graphic shows the tiers pretty clearly. 20+ Elite Eights are the bluebloods Kansas, Carolina, Kentucky, Duke and UCLA. 10-19 are the Tier A of the rest of the teams. 5-10 are Tier B. 1-4 are Tier C and then there is everyone else.

Oh well, maybe ISU will get another chance to kick his a** again in the tournament.

Well, there goes Bohannon's record for games played if true. Unless an injury occurs.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's true.

Folks like him need lots of adoration.

It’s 100% a prank. You can tell by reading his and Gard’s “quotes” and because it was released on April 1st

The Gard quote is my favorite part: "We've never had a player go through three Senior Days."

An interesting detail for ISU's early-season tournament opponents -- a few weeks from the end of regular season it looked like Memphis would be NIT-bound and Xavier in NCAAT ... it wound up the reverse.
