Once again this year, you can watch the painful drama of Northwestern trying to become the last Big Six conference team to play in the NCAA tournament - but probably come up a little short - again.

Actually, Northwestern is on a very short list of schools that have been Division I for a while who have never been to the NCAA Tournament. The other two that come to mind are Army and William & Mary. Of course there may be some other schools who are fairly new to Division I who have never gone, but those three are it for the long timers that I know of, not just from the big 6 teams.

Looks like William and Mary should have made it. They have two chances. Either William or Mary should be able to get in once in awhile. Remember the comedian who would give the football scores like Alabama 20, William 10, and Mary 6. Just we old timers remember that routine.
