NCAA Team History (1995-Present)

Pool: [ Rules | How to Enter | Web Entry ]
Interactive: [ Blog | HWCI NCAA Pool History ]

Five teams (UC Davis (pending winning First Four game), Jacksonville St, North Dakota, Northern Kentucky, and Northwestern) are making the tournament (64 proper) for the first time since at least 1994. Cells in light blue indicate first-ever tournament appearance. Cells in light green indicate first appearance in the proper 64 but lost in an Opening Round or First Four game (Lehigh (2010), Little Rock (2016), Middle Tennessee (2016)). At least one new team has appeared each year of our pool. Here are the NCAA Division I teams that have been in our pool (not including the loser of the 64v65 Play-In Game from 2001-2010 or First Four Games starting in 2011 which are Alabama A&M (2005) and North Florida (2015)).
