6 final fours is pretty light for when we discuss the best programs of all time. I’ll give you IU. I’m not sure we can consider them that level right now. I think Nova is next tier and could get there, but for final 4s (including this year):I get the view from up top, but 'Nova is not a recent phenomenon, "new money" program. If they are, then it can be argued so is Duke and questioned why is Indiana still considered a "blue blood".
And yet Iowa > all those programs.6 final fours is pretty light for when we discuss the best programs of all time. I’ll give you IU. I’m not sure we can consider them that level right now. I think Nova is next tier and could get there, but for final 4s (including this year):
- UNC 21
- UCLA 19
- Kentucky 17
- duke and KU 16
- IU 8
- Nova 6 (7 if you count a vacated FF)
I think we could go down the list, but there is a big difference between the “blue blood” 5 at the top and the next level. What Jay Wright has done there is incredible, but they don’t have the history of the others. There was a 46 year gap between final 4s at one point (not counting a vacated season somewhere between, but even that would have been 32 years). If you want to put them in the same category as a program “right now”, I think you’d have a great case. But not at the same level as the others going back through time.
A disgusting end to the college basketball season unfortunately.Congrats UNC, Duke , and Kansas.
Adding Nova completely forgot about them
