July 21, 200818 yr Western Kentucky University comes in at 43! So far only 41-50 is listed... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3481014
July 21, 200818 yr This is really cool. And well thought out. Can't imagine Duke and UNC not being 1-2?
July 21, 200818 yr Author This is really cool. And well thought out. Can't imagine Duke and UNC not being 1-2? :thumb: I think Duke will be #1. Kentucky will be in the top 10!
July 21, 200818 yr Duke will for certain be #1. All of those Final Fours, three titles, etc., they'll easily be there. I'm real curious to see where UCLA ends up. They have a title in there and then a lot of recent success. They fell on some tough times, but have done pretty well for themselves of late. Kansas is a team that will probably be top 5. A lot of underachieving, but two titles.
July 21, 200818 yr With as well thought out and organized this is, it will be next to impossible to argue with them being #1 if they are won't it, even for UK fans ?
July 21, 200818 yr It really should be. I mean, I know we'll hear the "darlings of ESPN" type of stuff from somewhere, whether it be here, on their message boards, etc., but it really is overwhelming.
July 21, 200818 yr This is really cool. And well thought out. Can't imagine Duke and UNC not being 1-2? I would say Duke is easily #1. UNC is most likely is #2 with multiple Final Fours and elite talent going to the NBA. I am thinking UK will be in the 4-6 range. All those seasons with Tubby at the helm cost the Cats

July 21, 200818 yr Duke is the clear cut # 1. No questions asked. They've had a ton of success in the time period. It will be interesting to see where everyone else falls.
July 21, 200818 yr Id say it will be- 1. Duke 3 nat'l titles, several final 4s. 2. UNC 2 nat'l titles, several final 4s. 3. UK 2 nat'l titles, several final 4s. 4. KU 2 nat'l titles, several final 4s. 5. Conn. 2 nat'l titles, won a lot of games. I don't know winning % and games won and all that stuff so that could change it some, but thats just a guess.
July 21, 200818 yr By my summation given the criteria they laid out and what I could track down, Duke has 483 points. Titles 3 75 Runner Up 4 80 Final Four Loss 3 45 Elite Eight 1 10 Sweet 16 6 30 Second Round 4 12 NCAA Berth 23 23 Best Record In Conference 11 55 30+ Wins 9 45 Conference Tourney Title 10 30 AP First Team All American 6 18 through 2000 Top 10 NBA Draft Pick 11 22 through 2006 20-29 Wins 13 26 NCAA First Round Win as 12-16 0 0 NIT Title 0 0 AP Second Team All American 6 12 through 2000 NIT Berth 0 0 AP Third Team All American 3 3 through 2000 First Round Loss to 12-16 0 0 Losing Season 1 -3 Ban From Tournament 0 0 483
July 21, 200818 yr Kentucky has 357 points. Titles 2 50 Runner Up 1 20 Final Four Loss 1 15 Elite Eight 7 70 Sweet 16 3 15 Second Round 5 15 NCAA Berth 20 20 Best Record In Conference 8 40 30+ Wins 6 30 Conference Tourney Title 11 33 AP First Team All American 3 9 through current Top 10 NBA Draft Pick 5 10 through current 20-29 Wins 13 26 NCAA First Round Win as 12-16 1 2 NIT Title 0 0 AP Second Team All American 3 6 through current NIT Berth 0 0 AP Third Team All American 2 2 through current First Round Loss to 12-16 0 0 Losing Season 1 -3 Ban From Tournament 1 -3 357
July 21, 200818 yr I think UK will be top ten but don't think they will be 3rd. Too many recent years of not being a top teir team.
