Thanks for putting this together. I was curious how many schools have been to the Final Four since we were last there. The only schools that have been that aren't listed above are Utah and Stanford, both in 1998. So that means that 40 different schools have been to the Final Four since we were last there.

Go Gophers!!

It's actually a little surprising that it's only been 40?

It's hard to get there, even for the bluebloods. If Michigan State wins the title (second under Izzo, 3rd overall), MSU enters the rarefied air of schools with 3 or more championships.
