List of Shame....11 teams with longer NCAA droughts than BGSU

There were 3 near misses on this year's list.  First, Yale has to be wondering how they failed to make it, because they had it all but wrapped up.  William and Mary was the #1 seed in the CAA and lost their final to Northeastern.  And St. Francis (NY) came up one shot short in the Northeast title game against Robert Morris.

So, this list threatened to get down to 8, but in the end there are still 11.  Below are the 11 teams with NCAA droughts longer than BG's.

One other note.  With Buffalo's win, BG is now the only current member of the MAC to have never won the MAC tournament.  BG has lost 3 finals in the 35 years the tournament has been played, starting with the first one.

Teams that have won in that time:  Toledo (1),  Buffalo (1), Ball State (7), EMU (4), CMU (2), WMU (2), Akron (3), Kent (5), Miami (4), Ohio (6) and NIU (1).  Just us with none...and Marshall.
