Is Michigan St the next blue blood if they win the FF?
- Thread starter hawkit3113
- Start date
Not sure Villanova is one either. Even tho they’ve won a natty with two coaches now and have 3 total.
Louisville was 3, but one didn’t count. They’d be higher on the list to me than Nova
Look at there wiki page. They are going on 40 years of success. Had a little success before that. Duke didn't start out setting the world on fire. And are one coach driven
Plz explain. I can’t believe I’m even responding to this....
3rd all time winningiest program
3 natties in tourney era / 5 total
3rd most final fours of all
Longest active streak of ncaa appearances at 30
Longest conf title streak in history at 14
UL was close. Pitino f’ed them up.
UConn was too but we are seeing their true colors without Calhoun.
MSU is tough due to izzo only doing much
I don’t really mind either way. I only think there are 4 blue bloods with UK, KU, UNC, and Duke. That’s about it. But if MSU gets a third then maybe. It doesn’t really matter though.
To me Louisville is the closest to the big 5 and 5b in Indiana.
You have your big 5, kind of bit 4 right now. All my personal opinion here....but Then your second tier of:
Syracuse
Louisville
UConn
Villanova
Michigan
Michigan state
Arizona

So basically, there will never be another blue blood again. Stupid. I put more in what MSU has done in the last 24 years than titles before the 1970s
Yes but 5 natties to MSU’s 2.
You can slice Nova and Louisville to look well better than MSU.
Ya you can slice things to look better.
If MSU won the whole thing, they’d be right at the top of that 2nd tier.
But to usurp Duke, UNC, KU or UK that’s tough.
UNC, UK and KU so far ahead of the pack with all time wins. And Duke is #4. Sparty is #28 bruh
You’re contradicting yourself. You just made a body of work statement earlier now it’s all about March.
Sparty right up there final fours wise. With 10, as I said; they’re right up there in 2nd tier. And winning it all this year would put them at the top of that 2nd tier prob knocking on Indiana’s 5b slot a little.

Yes. I am only going by March. No one cares about all time wins. It's about bringing home the hardware.
I would say you need a minimum of 4 titles to be in.
Possibly 5 min.
So then Michigan needs to be removed as a blue blood of football with their 1/2 natty in 1997 that was shared with Nebraska
Yeah, pretty much. But, you have to remember the Rose Bowl tie in. They do get credit for that.
Also, different criteria. Not a good comparison.
To me overall body of work matters. The tourney is a crapshoot sometimes and just luck at the end with a garbage buzzer shot.
Michigan is the all time winningiest in football so should be a blue blood.
An excellent point. We have removed Duke from the Blue Blood list per your comment.
Yeah, bringing up football is different. Not a good comparison to basketball.
UM has a good body of work in football. They stay.
Exactly. ESPN attempted to slide Duke onto the list using a sponsor’s exemption. We have rectified this situation.
Criteria:
At least 5 nattys from at least 2 coaches. That’s it. The list is powerful because of its simplicity.
Ya so that’s kind of why no one will put Sparty up there. Even with Duke’s 5 natties, UConn has 4. Duke will fall off some without K..
So for me, it’s as follows for top 10:
1) UK
2) UNC
3) KU
4) Duke
5) UCLA
5b) Indiana
6) Louisville
7) Sparty
7b) Nova
8) Syracuse
9) UConn
10) Arizona
