1994 - Kentucky
1996 - Monmouth
2003 - Holy Cross
2003 - Missouri
2003 - Pittsburgh
2003 - Kentucky
2008 - Kentucky

In the five years of Buzz we have won 7 Tourney games ...

2009 - Utah State
2011 - Xavier
2011 - Syracuse
2012 - Murray State
2012 - BYU
2013 - Davidson
2013 - Butler

Got to love seeing Kentucky on there 3 times.

Yes! The UK fans were so annoying this weekend, they just kept having to talk about next year or last year, that said I did chuckle when I drove past a Bob Morris car dealership this weekend.

Here's hoping by the end of this season Buzz has more NCAA wins than all the coaches from 1978 through 2008 combined.

That really speaks to how darn lucky we are to have Buzz. That stat is just incredible.

rerminds me, when I flew to Minneapois in 2003 for Sweet 16 game vs. Kentucky, the woman, in her 60's sitting next to me remarked about my Marquette jacket I was wearing. Winds up she was Adolph Rupp's secretary when she was there, we had a wonderful convesation about that era and one thing that stuck with me she said that the most frequent matchup in NCAA tournament history was Marquette - Kentucky and we had a winning record. She also asked me about our fat little coach (Ric Majerus), who she said UK used to beat like a drum, including the Utah final game. I looked up both records, she was correct.

I use that Kentucky stat often - to have that you have to be in the NCAA's a lot and to beat one of the 3-4 most legendary programs 6 out 10 times including a 3 game winning streak says a lot about the history of the program.

MU's Saturday game was MU's 40th in the NCAA's w/ 31 losses right. If so that is the same record as Illinois'. Speaking of the Illini, so happy they lost - reading the Chicago papers and watching the news would have been dreadful.

Buzz has 17.5% of MU NCAA wins in 5 years and with a win Thursday, Buzz would have 19.5%.
