UNC and Duke played in the same conference. The problem was that Duke and UNC did not get good until late.Come on Bert, you know a good chunk of those E8's occurred 70 years ago when it was so much easier and nobody else cared about basketball.
if I understand the narrative correctly, the other schools on that list obviously didn't have the same opportunities as UK. I think, I'm not sure.
Kentucky has always been good.
