I’ll bet Kansas is wishing they opted out like Duke and Kentucky right about now
Quite possibly the worst year in the history of the four major blue bloods, Kentucky/Kansas/UNC/Duke. The combined winning percentage of 56.5% is the lowest in 92 years! They weren't really blue blood status back then, of course. The funny thing about the combined losses, is Duke & Kansas both had to drop out of their conference tournaments. Likely two more losses there. And if it were a normal season, Duke probably would have gone to the NIT and lost another one. Very easily could have been 50 combined losses, even with a shortened season.

I have a project for you. I have the KP ratings from the start of each tournament, so we can see what the largest improvements have been during the tournament.

After the tourney is over, KenPom posts links to pre and post tourney. Here is 2020:You have the KP pre-tournament ratings? I myself don't know where to find that. I keep meaning to take screen shots; I always seem to forget. You can see the how the overall ranking has changed, but to my knowledge you can't track the adjusted efficiency margins over time.
Just like the Oregon/VCU game, the USC/Kansas game was declared a "no-contest"

They'll be opting out soon enough when the NCAA deep dicks them worse than USC just did

UCLA is the Grand-Daddy of all the Blue-Bloods!
As an 11 seed, they followed the humbled path to success.
The Pac12 is looking outstanding with 4 teams in the Sweet-16:
UCLA, Oregon St, USC, & Oregon!

Not surprised that the GOAT with 11 titles is the one leading the way
I know there are (generally) eight football programs thought to be Blue Bloods (with Nebraska making it but in question). How many college basketball teams? Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Duke(?), Indiana(?), and anyone else..?UConn?
Oh dear God, here we go again. Wait until you see what you started.

Sometimes just a push will work.Rolling down the hill in neutral, letting out clutch...
I’m not either. Wooden’s at the top of his game.

We still kicked Auburn’s ass this year with true freshmen.This year doesn’t count.
Real teams with real freshman studs had no practice time nor off-season conditioning program while scrub teams who have 8th year seniors who couldn’t make a team in Peru are killing it.
If you win a game with 490 people in the stands, you didn’t win shit..
@dukedevilz I tell you about the wayback machine and then you somewhat disappear. You're not stuck in the past, are you?

Crazy how Arkansas is stilldancing with their freshmen, or Suggs at Gonzaga didnt seems to miss a beat despite covid. Mobley at USC as well.
If you cut down the nets, get a trophy, and a diamond covered ring, you most definitely won something. Idk who your team is but if they were still playing I doubt you would have the same mindset.
