Before John Thompson got there, they had exactly 1 NCAA and 2 NIT spots. So really of their 47 wins in the NCAA tourney-16th in basketball right now- all but 5 of them came in a period from 1980-2007.

Also, the stretch of long tournament runs that you mention every decade- it's only 3 decades long. 80's, 90's, and 00's.

I like Georgetown- but they are definitely the program that got right place at the right time with the right person with JT and the start of the Big East. Before the 1979-80 season- Georgetown had all of 2 NCAA tourney wins, and those were back in the 1943 tourney.

Before 1960....Nothing
1980 - 1987... Best team in college basketball
1987 - 1997....Elite Program
1997 - 2007... 1 Final Four and a lot of 'meh'
2007 - 2017... Nothing

That Final Four in 2007 was huge for them. Its really all they have to keep them in the discussion as an elite program. But lots of teams have been to 1 Final Four in the last 20 years.
