Top Programs of All Time so Says 247

[YearoftheHusky]

Where are they wrong? I would at least jump us ahead of IU and MSU. Probably more.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

I could let Indiana slide. But MSU is just disrespectful.

4 championships to 2.

NBA players aren’t even comparable.

 

[gsmooth]

definitely MSU, no doubt. After IU, UConn, and then Nova. Maybe even put UConn and Nova at 6 and 7, respectively, and then IU. IU has more history, but they have not been to a Final Four since 2002, and really not even close to one since then.

No way MSU is above UConn and Nova. UConn and Nova have more championships and both schools having pristine title years from beginning to end and earning a high seed in NCAA tournament (1999, 2004, 2016, 2018). You can even make a case for UConn's 2011 season with the unprecedented 5 games in 5 nights in the BE tourney and then winning 6 straight in the NCAAT (earned #3 seed). Also, UConn and Nova have produced more higher impact NBA players outside of the great Magic Johnson.

 

[Connecticut13]

Yeah agree with the others. Ahead of MSU but not IU.

Obviously MSU shouldn't be ahead of us.

You do realize Magic Johnson went there, right?

 

[HuskyFich]

MSU is a joke.

it’s getting time for UCLA to be removed from this list. Living 50+ years in the past.

Also, Duke fans gotta be livid lol.

 

[Platt81]

I can’t stomach one title Cuse being 11.

 

[That Guy]

MSU above us is absolute comedy. Also, I highly question the validity of this given how much they value total program wins. Perfect example is Temple being above Florida when they've won one "natty" pre WWII, have never made the championship game in the NCAA Tournament era, and have only 2 Final Four appearances way back in the 50s.

 

[Huskyforlife]

It’s almost like everyone has their own criteria for this stuff.

 

[auror]

Where they went wrong was the stupid columns first, left-right 2nd.

 

[Scottobot]

You have to remember before Calhoun took over in the 1980s UConn was basically on par with UMass. We would be ranked much higher if only considering 1990+

What criteria gets Kansas State on the list at all?

One of the few "successful" programs to wear purple. I think they somehow mixed up their lists.

 

[ucp990411]

Lots of these so called experts went to Syracuse.

Remove UCLA? It is called “best programs of all time,” not “best programs of recent years.”

I get that, but it’s one guy from the 1980s lol.

I'm pretty sure All Time means All Time.
UCLA has 11 titles. It's all about titles on the Yard. I'd have UCLA #1
UConn should be #6

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Temple?

F Duke

The criteria seems to be all time so UCLA needs to be given credit for their 11 titles and dominance during that period, I know people say that they had it easier always playing teams from the West in the early rounds of the tournament instead of the better teams from the East but UCLA did win ten titles in 12 years.

If the criteria were since 2000 then UCLA would not be in the ratings.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I think you could make an argument for Nova and UConn surpassing both Indiana.

Indiana has 5 NCAA championships.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Indiana has 5 NCAA championships.

They've been to 1 Elite 8 in 30 years (reached the NCAA final). That's the same amount as St. Peter's.

Not to mention I think only 1 of their titles came with the expanded 64+ team field.

All Time.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

All Time.

What do you think college hoops dates back to the 1700s? The last 30 years is a huge chunk of history to have had 1 deep tournament run.

The 30 years before that is also a huge chunk of change, how did UConn do in comparison to Indiana during that stretch?
