A guess....First, the obvious...

UL, Syracuse, MSU, Arizona, Purdue, Illinois...
Guesses.....
Villanova, Gtown, Temple, Notre Dame, OSU, Cincy, Kansas State, Michigan, UConn, St. John's and.....I dunno, Marquette.
As soon as I post, I will look it up...
I looked it up just now...Not bad at all)for me). i was surprised to say the least with who I missed, and who was on the list. Two schools I never would have guessed. A school I missed,was a school I damn near put in the "for sure list".
Fun question.
Bold are wrong answers.
Your score is 4.
I don’t feel like doing your score so I’ll just give it to you. Seems like you got most of them.
You’re up.
I was shocked to see Texas on the list---34 NCAAT's. I was surprised that Temple was not on the list. They were the school I felt very confortable with.
But Texas at 34 NCAAT's was quite surprising..
Yes.....CBS was gonna use for Super Bowl XXl. But the game ran over, CBS was to debut a new show, so the montage was cancelled....
You are up...
this kinda of feeds off an earlier question...I;'m not answering. Gonna let someone else, play..
Wow. I missed out on a lot of questions today. Well played, everyone.
There are a few schools that I would consider for this question. All with 30+ tournament appearances... I'll say Texas for now.

That’s correct. 36 appearances for ND, 34 for Texas. You’re up!
You didn't use my 50 Greatest Programs of All-Time database for researching that question did you?
John Wooden won 10 national titles at UCLA. Seven of those titles his teams were ranked #1 before the start of the NCAA Tournament. Which three schools had the honor of being ranked #1, ahead of UCLA in the polls during the Wooden years, where UCLA ended up winning it all?
Neither, actually. UCLA was #1 both of those years.
Indiana was #3 in the Final AP Poll in '75; NC State was #2 in the Final AP Poll in '73.
That is correct. Two more schools to go.
I wasn't asking for the years, but feel free to include that if you'd like.
Kentucky in Issel's senior year and I think Jacksonville U. beat UK and UCLA went ahead a won out.You didn't use my 50 Greatest Programs of All-Time database for researching that question did you?

Indiana before UK beat them 92-90 to end their undefeated season.
I have no idea on the third one unless I cheat.
Edit: okay Houston is the third. Also UK beat Houston that year in the regular season if my old mind is working right.
You are correct. Kentucky was #1 in 1970.
So, we have Houston and Kentucky down. The other instance occurred in 1965, if that helps.
Louisville was a correct answer so I guess I'll give you Podunk U.
Not North Carolina.
I don't want this question sitting too long. So, I'm going to reveal the final answer. @schoonerwest or @Bert Higginbotha feel free to ask the next question.
Michigan
11 states have never had a school in the state go to the Final Four.
Name these states.
Wyoming
Montana
North Dakota
South Dakota
Hawaii
Alaska
Maine
Vermont
Idaho
New Hampshire
Nebraska
Wyoming won the 1943 title but the rest are correct.
Missouri is the 11th state (LOL).
You're up!
Edit - Actually New Hampshire is wrong as well. Can't think of the other off the top of my head so go ahead.
Finally!
What non power five team has the best home court winning percentage, but with a MINIMUM of 20 years in their current building.
And go!

Originally I thought Gonzaga. But, that seems too obvious. I don't think The Kennel is 20 years old. When you say non-power five, are you including the Big East? If I can use the Big East, I'll say Xavier. If not, I'll say BYU.
Rhode Island had Providence in '87. Dartmouth is in NH. The other missing state is Delaware.
Ohhh, Delaware!! Duh... that should have been the most obvious!
Dartmouth has been to 2.
Rhode Island has had schools make 2 appearances. I don’t know them off the top of my head. I’m just looking at a wiki page for these results and it doesn’t list the schools.
Yeah, I forgot about Dartmouth since it was forever ago. Providence for RI, like @dukedevilz said, but I can't think of any other team. URI has never been.
