As much talk there has been lately about us needing/wanting to get our first NCAA championship I just wanted to compare our history to the rest of the league. As you can see there plenty of teams in our boat. Even teams like Illinois and Wisconsin that are consistently ranked during recent years don't have one. We are tied for 4th in most appearances. We have the 6th best winning percentage. What's really shitty is OMHR has one more final four appearance. We should be more concerned about that than our lack of 5 banners. We really do need to get a championship and I at least like our chances of a final four with the '12 and '13 classes.
