All For None: Glass Slipper Still Doesn't Fit for Northwestern
March 13th, 2012 - 17:27
A fourth consecutive trip to the NIT is not what Northwestern had in mind this season. The NCAA playoffs are little more than "Never Never Land" for the Wildcats and the following four other schools never to participate in the national championship tournament despite being designated as major colleges since the late 1940s (number of coaches during that span in parentheses):
School (# of Coaches) Best Season Army (17) 22-6 in 1969-70 The Citadel (13) 20-7 in 1978-79 Northwestern (12) 20-14 in 2009-10 and 2010-11 St. Francis NY (11) 23-5 in 1953-54 William & Mary (13) 24-10 in 1948-49
