Musketeer Madness

In the past 10-20 years, how many teams have made two trips to the Elite 8 in a five year period? (I believe X has done it twice in four years, but four years seemed arbitrarily chosen to favor X as being even more elite in doing so.)

Feel free to correct my dates. I am really just curious about general information and how we stack up in this regard.

A Final Four would be incredible!

Great question.... off the top of my head:

Xavier
Duke
UCLA
Michigan State
Memphis
North Carolina
Wisconsin

I am sure some other teams escape me right now, but those are the for sure answers to that question, assuming you're referring past 10-20 years.

I assume there have been a few...but the number must be pretty small. Is it safe to say we are the only non major conference team to do it?

You guys and Memphis (State).

Not quite sure how I missed Memphis in the initial list...

To err is human, to forget is....trojan.

Temple made it twice within a couple of years 8 or 9 years ago. Also twice within a few years recently that I can remember:

Arizona
UConn
Kentucky
Stanford
Oklahoma
Florida
Maryland
Kansas
Illinois
Texas

A Trojan is not a good thing to forget.

Our ole buddies crosstown the Cincinnati Bearcats went Final 4 in 1992, and Elite 8 in 93 and 96. That includes the past 20 years at least.

There has to be a big mistake. How come no one put dayton on that list. I mean they have past us as a program, they have super star studs and with their coach of the year they must have been to an elite eight twice in the past 20 years.
