Longest Winning Streak Without Making The NCAA Tournament

Post by EvanJ »

Taylor Barnette made a three-pointer with 6 seconds left to give Belmont an 88-87 win over Murray State in the Ohio Valley Conference Championship. Belmont is the first automatic bid this season. The game ended Murray State's 25 game winning streak, and they're 66th in the RPI. I wonder what the longest winning streak in a season by a team that missed the NCAA Tournament is. Belmont won their last two Ohio Valley tournament games by 1 point on consecutive days. I wonder who the last team was to win their Semifinal and Final on consecutive days by 1 point each was (if it has ever happened).

Edit: The play-by-play says Barnette's three-pointer was with 6 seconds left but the article says it was with 3.2 seconds left.
