Are we the most cursed fan base in college basketball?

[skwalk47]

I'm just wondering if there are any other schools that have had as decent a program as us, with as many quality teams as we have had, without making the tournament for as long as we haven't. Maybe there are others out there and they just don't get talked about, this is like Gary Parrish question LOL.

I can't think of anybody off the top of my head.
Maybe Illinois State?
They haven't danced since 1998 and have been close a number of years.
But I don't think they've had as much talent as us.

Seems like it

And then there were years for which we're saying "if only . . .
-- Arthur Lee wasn't a punk. (1998)
-- Al called a timeout to stop the bleeding against Purdue. (1997)
-- Danny Ferry wasn't a punk. (1988)
-- Sly wasn't so left-handed. (1979)
-- One of those three last-second shots had fallen. (1978)

RI Red.....so many "what ifs" that's what we've got with this program to live with forever.

But at least those happened in the dance. We can't even get there anymore.

Northwestern maybe, since theyve never made it

......maybe, if we are not the most cursed, then we are certainly in the last four in discussion.....honestly, what ever the negatives were about five years ago in the Keaney intro of DH for me ended that......
