Discover the NCAA's Elite: Which Teams Boast the Longest Streak of Tournament Appearances?
27 â North Carolina, 1975-2001 (Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty)
Smith was responsible for the first 23 seasons of this NCAA Tournament streak, winning a national championship in 1982 on freshman Michael Jordanâs game-winning jump shot against Georgetown, and later adding the 1992-93 season title. Dohertyâs first Tar Heelsâ team was bounced in the 2001 second round, and they didnât qualify for the next two tournaments, which led to him being replaced by Williams. After falling short as Kansas’ head coach, Williams went on to win three NCAA titles with North Carolina.
