Longest streaks of Final Four appearances:

1. UConn (11) 2008-present
2. UConn (5) 2000-04
LSU (5) 2004-08
Stanford (5) 2008-12
ND (5) 2011-15
6. La Tech (4) 1987-90
Tennessee (4)1995-98
Tennessee (4) 2002-05

BTW, only 3 other teams (Duke, UGA, Maryland) have more than 3 appearances (Duke has 4, UGA and Maryland have 5). LSU's streak consists of all of their appearances.

For the "only 2 missed years out of a span" stretch, UT had a 6 out of 8 year span from 1984-1991 (only missed 1986 and 1990) and 9 out of 11 from 1995-2005 (Only missed 1999 and 2001). La Tech had 7 out of 9 years from 1982-1990 (Only missed 1985 and 1986).

One more thing: Of the teams with more than 5 Final Four appearances, only UConn, ND, and Stanford had have an appearance in the last 10 years. La Tech's last Final Four was in 1999 and Tennessee's was in 2008.
