IMO there are six of them which others have mentioned.

As much as everyone wants to separate reg season vs tournament I tend to think that stuff "converges to the mean" over a large sample size.  I know it hasn't yet with Pitt, but Uconn had a similar dichotomy of results from 90-98 and eventually they got some breaks (so will Pitt, and so will we if we maintain the level of excellence of the last 5 yrs for another 20+ which admittedly will be hard to do).
There have only been a few spurts where we've competed for a #1 seed; 87-91 and 09-now.  Way too many tournament games in between we've worn road jerseys in the 2nd round or Sweet 16 - that's pretty rare for Duke & Kansas.
Anyone remember discussions on the Scout board just a few years ago whether K was recruiting good enough athletes to win in the tournament because of their post '01 draught (which for the record I thought was ridiculous)?  Then 2010 happened and their ~7th best team in 10 years got placed in the JV bracket.  That'll happen for us eventually if we're good enough to be in the conversation for a 1seed every year.
