That OU has had back to back sweet 16 appearances. The others are as follows:

1. 1987, 1988 & 1989 (sweet 16, champ game, sweet 16).
2. 2002 & 2003 (final 4 and elite 8).
3. 2015 & 2016 (sweet 16 & ???).

Congrats to the team!!

Just outstanding to be back here from where we were 5 years ago. Know this team has weaknesses, but damn does it feel good to be successful again. Just continuing to build too with all the young talent we have brought in

OU has been blessed with some wonderful basketball coaches. This certainly includes Coach Kruger. May he coach OU many more seasons.
 
Wow. I didn't realize that. Gives you a lot of perspective on just how special these Sweet 16 appearances really are.

Billy arrived at OU in 1981 so it took him 5 years to get to consecutive Sweet 16s.

Kelvin arrived in 1994 and it took him 8 years to get to consecutive Sweet 16s.

Lon arrived in 2012 and it took him 3 years to get to consecutive Sweet 16s.

Yep and we lose 3 big time seniors so next year isn't a guarantee.
 
I believe we've only been to 10 Sweet 16s in the 64+ era.
