They have 41 Tournament appearances and 7 Final Fours. They are a legit program even without the 2003 season.
That's my point. FSU baseball has an ungodly amount of NCAA tournament and CWS appearances, but they haven't been able to bring it home. Syracuse brought home that 1 title with a generational player but otherwise haven't been able to cross the finish line. If not for that one title, they'd be college basketball's version of FSU baseball... or the Buffalo Bills even.

And just to add for the context that no one asked for. If wiki to be believed:
1969-70: We finished 25-3, 14-0 in the ACC. Lost the ACC tournament final to NC State by 3 points (our other two losses were to #1 UT by 1 and #13 Davidson by 6). We were ranked #3 by the time of the tournament loss with 3 losses coming at a combined 10 points but didn't get in the NCAA tournament.
1970-71: Finished second in the ACC behind UNC, but won the ACC tournament and got in. It's considered a Sweet 16 appearance even though only 25 teams made the tournament then.
There's also some real screwy stuff if you go deep enough. For example, I swear I remember reading we didn't get the '69-70 NIT either because Columbia was a host and teams that had a host site couldn't get in.
That '69-70 tournament also saw #8 Marquette turn down the NCAA tournament to play in the NIT instead.
Point is, it's not so cut and dry as it is now.

To give Pat a nod...
I'm certainly no fan of the Vols but she is just one of those old school/OG legends that I respect the hell out of. Even if SC were to win it all this year we'd be 3rd all time in titles but still only half of Pat's.
I was actually at the SC@UT game in 2005. They had just broken ground on that statue of her outside of the arena so they honored her at half-time or pregame, I can't remember which, and it was cool to see her there.
As an aside, they also retired Peyton's number that game and he did the Vol Walk which was also cool to see.
Not sure why UT went all in on their legends that game.

Smaller number of entries means it was harder to get into the tournament. Why wouldn’t that count?
I agree with that sentiment. Although I'll also add the NCAA tournament used to only allow conference tournament winners in. Meaning you could have a hell of a season, win the regular season title, and not get in. This happened to one of South Carolina's teams way back in our ACC days. I'm not sure if getting in on conference tournament titles alone is a true reflection of how good a program is.

s a huge John Wick fan, 4 was enough. It peaked at 3
I kind of feel the same way. I was late to the John Wick party so all 4 had been released when I started. Absolutely loved the first one, but having the benefit of hindsight I still thought "how in the world did they make 4 of these?" I still binged all 3 and certainly enjoyed all of them. But by the end I was thinking to myself... armored jacket or not he's been run over by a car like 4 times over a ~24 hour span. Dude should be wrecked.
Still a great series.
The hotel prequel on Peacock was also okay-to-solid.

The difference in how our men's and women's teams are doing is stark. At least football had as solid season.
