No, we are struggling right now, but this thread is about historical success.

I've tried to go thru and summarize men's and women's basketball with Div 1 stats in the NCAA tourney. Feel free to make any corrections and/or additions since I pulled this info from wikipedia and I didn't look up every member (I only looked up the historically strong bball programs -sorry if I left someone out). These are some pretty impressive stats on the women's side.

Men's bball
National championships- 1 (UTEP)
Final Four - 3 (WKU, UTEP, Charlotte)
Sweet Sixteen - 17 (7-WKU, 4-UTEP, 3-UAB, 1-Char, 1-LaTech, 1-Rice)

Women's bball
National Championships - 6 (3-LaTech, 3-ODU)
Final Four - 22 (13-LaTech, 6-ODU, 3-WKU)
Sweet Sixteen - 45 (23-LaTech, 15-ODU, 6-WKU, 1-S Miss)

Hope we can add to those stats this year. Final Four is the goal for MT ladies this year I think they can do it...

So UTEP, WKU, UAB for men.
LA Tech, ODU, WKU for women.

WKU takes the crown for overall basketball though it seems but we would need this done for all teams to be sure.

Copied from Wikapedia:

La Tech has won 3 National Championships and has competed in 13 Final Fours, 23 Sweet Sixteens, and 27 NCAA tournaments. The Lady Techsters basketball program boasts 3 Wade Trophy winners, 5 olympic medalists, 6 members of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, 16 All-Americans, and 21 WNBA players. The Lady Techsters have an all-time record of 1017–227 with a .818 winning percentage, the best all-time winning percentage of any NCAA Division I program. La Tech and Tennessee are the only women's basketball programs to win at least 1000 games. The Lady Techsters have made 27 appearances in the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament; only Tennessee and Georgia have made more NCAA Tournament appearances.

Check the edit history though and see how up to date that stat is.

I know, I was just curious.

No mention yet about softball, soccer and track and field.

Look again about track. Should be hands down UTEP

Marshall's football success began in the late 1980's so it isn't a long history. I'd have to put USM or Rice at the top, Marshall is a strong third.

Volleyball....I want some women's volleyball pics to back it up too.

History and success can be two different things.

Marshall's first year of football was 1895
So Miss and Rice didn't start till 1912

Total Championships

Marshall - 15
So Miss - 12
Rice - 8

Bowl History

Marshall 8-2
So Miss 10-10
Rice 6-5

Lady Eagles had back to back world series appearances and at one time the all time leader in strikeouts.

If Women's Basketball counts, LA Tech and Old Dominion have National Championships on the women's side.

Lady Techsters have 3 national championships

How many of those were Dennis Rodmans sister on?

I know Tech softball has had many post season appearances and has been to the College World Series three times. That is about the extent of what I know about softball.

I also know we had three track Olympians in the last Olympics.

Marshall also won a Basketball National Championship in the NAIA in 1947, going 32-5 under Coach Cam Henderson - who invented the zone defense and fast break.

Advanced to Final Four of 1967 NIT under Coach Ellis Johnson.

Led nation in scoring in 1958, 88.1 ppg (just ahead of WVU with Jerry West at 88.0 ppg) with Hal Greer and Leo Byrd, both Huntington products.

Center Charlie Slack still holds NCAA rebounding record with 25.6 rpg in 1954-55, and is second in all-time rebound average.

One of top 11 schools in nation in 1,000-point career scorers, with 49 (tied for eighth with UCLA and Wake Forest).

First school south of Mason-Dixon line to intergrate program, adding four-year player Hal Greer for basketball in 1954 (immediately after Brown v. Board of Education), who would go on to be a NBA Hall of Fame member (and who played baseball as well for Herd, being first African-American to play baseball at VMI, UVA and Va. Tech), and also for football in 1955, added a number of players including Roy Goines, who lettered and started in 1957-58.

Womens swimming has to be Marshall.

Updated with the USM women's sweet sixteen.
