The streak is statistically amazing, but I think it’s fair to say that KU wouldn’t have been able to accomplish it in any of the other major conferences. On the flip side, maybe only Duke would have been able to accomplish it here in the Big 12 if they switched with KU. So it’s a big deal, but needs a little perspective. You would think a team that won a major conference championship 14 years straight would have far more success in the NCAAs, but that’s not what’s happened. Instead, they have been consistently good enough to stay slightly ahead of the bumper cars that is the rest of this conference.
And looking at the remainder of K-State’s and Tech’s schedules, I still think it’s about even money for KU to snag a share of a 15th.
