With Rutgers all but certain to miss a third straight NCAA tournament, I decided to look up how common that is for Big Ten programs.
2020 is excluded, that's why there's a gap for some teams.
Ohio State is in danger of missing a third straight tournament this year so their years could move. The streaks for Penn State, Minnesota and Washington are all going to continue.
