Tulsa basketball may not be recognized among college basketball's elite east of the Mississippi, but Tulsa's success over the past 20 years proves that the Hurricane program is among the best in the nation.
  For the sixth time in the last seven years the Hurricane has posted 20 wins in a season. In the 89-year history of Tulsa basketball, this marks the 13th season that Tulsa has registered 20+ wins.
  In the past 20 seasons, Tulsa has enjoyed most of its success on the basketball floor, posting 12 of those 13 seasons of 20 or more wins, and making 15 post-season tournament appearances, including 10 NCAA tournament appearances.
  The Hurricane has posted an 8-5 record in the NCAA Tournament in the 1990's, and advancing to the "Sweet Sixteen" twice, including the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons.
  In each season in which the Hurricane has won at least 20 games, Tulsa advanced to post-season tournament competition. The only year which Tulsa did not advance to the NCAA Tournament when winning 20 or more games was in the 1980-81 season when the Hurricane went on to win the NIT Championship.
