Now that we are going to our 5th Final Four, I wondered how many schools had been to that many. I decided to total up Final Four appearances. The year is designated by the last two digits. This will be “13”, for example. There wasn’t really a “Final Four” per say until 1951. Before that there were just eastern and western regionals and the winners met for the title. But I’ll include the final four teams from when the tournament began in 1939. The school is listed under it’s current name, ( Oklahoma A&M = Oklahoma State, Texas Western = UTEP etc. )
