Yes, some programs have long since left the glory days of their hoops programs behind. More than a dozen schools haven't made the Big Dance since the 1980s or earlier.
With a little luck, perhaps a few of these schools will crack the auto-bid nut in this year's upcoming slate of conference tournaments.'
