Fixer Upper: Regal NCAA Real-Estate Rehab for Drake, ORU, OSU and Rutgers

There is no more precious NCAA real estate than victories in the national championship tournament. Just ask Drake (blanked 49 years in row under 12 head coaches prior to Darian DeVries), Oral Roberts (46), Oregon State (38) and Rutgers (37) after they posted postseason victories following extensive NCAA playoff victory droughts prior to reentering the win column. This quartet has four of the 16 longest streaks without an NCAA Tournament triumph after entering tourney win column among schools on the following list:
