Message: [QUOTE="Cuseball, post: 3722356, member: 1603"] It is without debate that we are going through a down period of SU basketball. The following numbers offer a comparison of other top tier programs and how our current 6 year stretch (not counting this year as we are not done) compares with those teams 6 worst consecutive years. I am showing overall record during that 6 year period, # of losing seasons during that 6 year period (column 5) and also the additional losing seasons since 1985 (column 6). NCAA tournament record, NCAA bids in that 6 year period and highlights. A couple observations: [LIST] [*]Kansas is consistently excellent [*]everyone but Duke and Cuse have gone through a lot of coaches - one could argue when the other programs struggled they made changes [*]Our down period is pretty good compared to everyone else [*]Only Cuse, Kansas and Arizona have avoided losing seasons [*]Kadary should play more [/LIST] Overall Record Losing seasons NCAA Tourny (Record and bids) [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Kansas[/TD] [TD]159[/TD] [TD]45[/TD] [TD]0.779[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]13[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]0.722[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]2 Final Fours, Sweet Sixteen[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Duke[/TD] [TD]139[/TD] [TD]58[/TD] [TD]0.706[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]0.667[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]Final Four, Final Eight[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Arizona[/TD] [TD]127[/TD] [TD]74[/TD] [TD]0.632[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]0.545[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]Final Eight, Sweet Sixteen[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Kentucky[/TD] [TD]121[/TD] [TD]62[/TD] [TD]0.661[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]1 more losing season since 1985[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]0.625[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]Final Eight, Sweet Sixteen[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]UNC[/TD] [TD]118[/TD] [TD]78[/TD] [TD]0.602[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]1 more losing season since 1985[/TD] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]0.600[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]Final Four[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mich State[/TD] [TD]109[/TD] [TD]74[/TD] [TD]0.596[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]0.571[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]2 Sweet Sixteens[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Cuse[/B][/TD] [TD][B]121[/B][/TD] [TD][B]84[/B][/TD] [TD][B]0.590[/B][/TD] [TD][B]0[/B][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][B]7[/B][/TD] [TD][B]3[/B][/TD] [TD][B]0.700[/B][/TD] [TD][B]3[/B][/TD] [TD][B]Final Four, Sweet Sixteen[/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Louisville[/TD] [TD]106[/TD] [TD]82[/TD] [TD]0.564[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]1 more losing season since 1985[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]0.250[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Uconn[/TD] [TD]110[/TD] [TD]90[/TD] [TD]0.550[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]3 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]0.500[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]UCLA[/TD] [TD]104[/TD] [TD]80[/TD] [TD]0.565[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]2 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]0.600[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]3 Sweet Sixteens[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Virginia[/TD] [TD]94[/TD] [TD]84[/TD] [TD]0.528[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]4 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]0.000[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Florida[/TD] [TD]97[/TD] [TD]89[/TD] [TD]0.522[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]4 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]0.333[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Gonzaga[/TD] [TD]86[/TD] [TD]82[/TD] [TD]0.512[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Villanova[/TD] [TD]95[/TD] [TD]92[/TD] [TD]0.508[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]4 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]0.333[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Indiana[/TD] [TD]93[/TD] [TD]97[/TD] [TD]0.489[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]1 more losing season since 1985[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]0.400[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Michigan[/TD] [TD]88[/TD] [TD]93[/TD] [TD]0.486[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]4 more losing seasons since 1985[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Maryland[/TD] [TD]85[/TD] [TD]91[/TD] [TD]0.483[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]1 more losing season since 1985[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]0.500[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
