The only people that know and care about the streak are SU fans. It's pretty meaningless when you consider going to the NIT is a bad year, and we'll be lucky to do that.

This is a program that used to pay attention to selection sunday to see how high we were seeded and what region we were in. From '86-'91 we were never lower than a 3, from '09-'14 never lower than a 4. From 1977-2014 we missed the tournament 7 times (one of those was a ban year where we would have made it otherwise) and were higher than an 8 seed every year but one. We finished in the top 25 rankings 28 times, never going more than three years in row outside of them. When we had a down year, better times were around the corner and could be seen without squinting too hard.

Since 2014 we have missed the tournament twice and are unlikely to make it this year. In the years we've made it, we were an 8, 10, and 11 seeds. It's likely this will be the sixth year in a row we finish outside the top 25. These are consistently mediocre/poor results the program has not seen since the early '70's. And there is nothing any reasonable person can point to that suggests that will change.
