I heard a bunch of talking heads referring to this stat (not as exact to the decimal) but the thing that shocked me is that they were all shocked themselves. One podcast said "the blue bloods decided to let the never-beens have their shot at a ring" when referring to the elite 8. People don't know, it seems. It's like the moment when you realize how many hits the band Chicago actually has
It's a typo, we have only been to 5 FF this century. 5-24. I got too excited. I just went back and changed to OP.is 6/24 not 25%?
I know I didn't study rocket surgery at URI - but...
Oh 100% Terry Kath was a guitar God. But, I do have a soft spot for 'hard habit to break' even though i don't love David Foster.But a lot of their hits sucked. Chicago was at their best way before the sappy Peter Cetera sappy movie ballads.
I'm not sure what type of math it is that you are using to count the 1999 final four as happening in 2000 but if it helps the mojo, I like it. You however slso are obviously not one of board math nerds.That is counting the 2000 final four as part of this century. And it's actually 20.83%, (6 of 24). Regardless, it's a darn impressive number. Surprising good when you put it in perspective.
is 6/24 not 25%?

Either way. It's still 6 in 24 years. 5 in the 2000s.It's a typo, we have only been to 5 FF this century. 5-24. I got too excited. I just went back and changed to OP.
I didn't do any such thing. We have been to five final fours this century. 2004, 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2023.I'm not sure what type of math it is that you are using to count the 1999 final four as happening in 2000 but if it helps the mojo, I like it.

Was not aware that rockets needed surgery .. Interesting conceptis 6/24 not 25%?

Ummm, 25 years… 6 Final Fours… 4 nattysI heard a bunch of talking heads referring to this stat (not as exact to the decimal) but the thing that shocked me is that they were all shocked themselves.

Very clever padawan.There was no tournament in 2020 so wouldn't this be 5/23? Nearly 22%.

Chicago clearly could see the future. They sang about the good guys in 1970 - the last time there were three first-time Final Four participants. Hopefully, the title of the song doesn’t match up next Monday before midnight.
6 in the last quarter century ...3 head coaches. THAT is the definition of a programThat is counting the 2000 final four as part of this century. And it's actually 20.83%, (5 of 24). Regardless, it's a darn impressive number. Surprising good when you put it in perspective.
Mic drop. Nerds missed this rather major factor.There was no tournament in 2020 so wouldn't this be 5/23? Nearly 22%.
