I've remarked more than a few times over the years that K could already have a thumb ring if it wasn't for Jim Calhoun. Well, he got his thumb ring anyhow and Duke now has 5 National Championships.
Most NCAA National Championships by school:
-UCLA, 11
-Kentucky, 8
-Duke/IU/UNC, 5
-UCONN, 4
-Louisville/Kansas, 3
- A number of schools with 2: (NCSU, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, SF, Florida,etc
Most NCAA Final Fours by school:
- UNC, 18
- Kentucky, UCLA 17
- Duke, 16
- Kansas, 14
- Louisville, Ohio State, 10
- Michigan State, 9
- Indiana, 8
- Arkansas/Cincinnati/OSU, 6
- UCONN/Florida/G'town/Houston/Illinois/Michigan/Syracuse, 5
- Arizona/KSU/LSU/Oklahoma/UNLV/Utah/Wisconsin, 4
- California/Iowa/Marquette/NC State/San Fran/Texas/Villanova, 3
(Too many teams to list that have either 1 or 2 FF trips)
I think Duke is now no worse than the 4th best program of all-time. I believe they are ahead of Kansas at this point and have significantly more all-time wins, NCAA Tourney wins and Final Fours than Indiana.
