I don’t think Iowa is in anybody’s top 40.
That’s actually a pretty good way of defining the entire state. Iowa isn’t in anybody’s top 40 of anything. Ever.

St. John's still top 10 in winningest programs of all-time according to the link below. They were 4th or 5th back around 2000. The last 20 years have been rough.

#23 all time.
And IL ranked that low?
Ha. Learn about basketball.

We played one B1G team on the road this year and won.
when did Iowa last win the conference outright?
I looked up pictures from Iowa on Google. Usually when you look something up the most well known results come in first. That means these are considered to be some of the top pictures of the state of Iowa.

Thats my home.
It’s been over 40 years since Iowa has won the Big Ten. 40 years since your last final four. Trash program
Iowa likes to talk shit when the tournament gets cancelled. How convenient. Garbage program gonna garbage
I'll add in the NIT results from 1939-56 at some point. That will help St.John's tremendously. However, we're having a baby this week... and well, it might be a while.
Congrats dukedevilz. The best to the wife and child. Let us know how it goes. Sleep all you can this week.
7 Sweet 16's
4 Elite 8's
0 National Titles
6 Conference Championships
Yep, that's a top 25 program, provided the data was gathered in 1980.
This whole thread stinks like piss.
Kansas St lolol. Loser
IL, you really are just that bad at numbers. Lol

Congrats Kentucky. It's now official. Remember to double-click on the screenshots to expand the images. Let me know what you think. This idea was presented to me by @hailtoyourvictor.
This is awesome and seems very fair and accurate. Thanks for all the hard work putting it together!
Dartmouth has lost 2 title games, therefore Dartmouth is better than Iowa.
A few years before that, K-State lost a title game to Kentucky.
Dude...you got nothin' on K friggin State. Let it sink in.
Let's compare the numbers for Kansas State and Iowa.
NCAA Tournaments: 31-26, K-State leads
Sweet 16's: 17-8, K-State leads
Elite 8's: 13-4, K-State leads
Final 4's: 4-3, K-State leads
Title Games: 1-1, Tie
Conference Titles: 12-6, K-State leads
The numbers are not very close. No objective person would say that Iowa has accomplished more than Kansas State. So, either you're being obtuse, or you're just wildly lazy with how you examine actual data.
Kentucky has more Elite Eights than Iowa does tournament appearances. Crazy
It's absurd, really. If I'm looking at the numbers correctly, Kentucky has been to the Elite Eight 38 times. Only UCLA, UNC, Kansas, Duke, Indiana, Louisville, Villanova, and Syracuse have more NCAAT appearances than Kentucky has Elite Eight appearances.
Interesting that Nova is in that group. The Elite Eight has definitely been our achilles heal. 17 out of 38 isn't a great percentage.
why is it interesting that Villanova is in there. They have 39 appearances (including 1971*) across the 9 decades starting in 1939. Syracuse surprises me even though I think they are tied/close to Nova.

I typically don’t associate Nova or Cuse that matter with those other seven but I guess thinking on it they have as much right to be in the conversation as Indiana or Louisville
1-6, They are 7-1 in semifinals and 16-2 in sweet sixteens.
Here are the top 20 NIT teams from 1939 to 1956. DePaul and LaSalle will both climb into the top 50 as a result of this.
-DePaul will go from 51st (171 points) all the way up to 40th (211 points).
-La Salle jumps from 53rd (157 points) to 45th (189 points), just ahead of Butler.
-Iowa doesn't accumulate any NIT points, and will fall from 47th to 50th.
Still ground to make up, though, as I'll add in a few more metrics like top 10 seasons, top 25 seasons, sub .500 records, sub .300 records.

St.John's was the king of the NIT back in the day. They will climb from 38th to 25th overall. Seems fair to have them in the top 25, as they're in the top 10 for all-time wins.

Michigan 1 behind Sparty and the Nuts? I smell a rat.
Not a huge difference between the three schools. Michigan has more title game appearances, but they're also behind in tournament bids, final fours, and conference championships.
