Street & Smith's will be releasing a publication outlining the best that college basketball has had to offer through the years in "100 Greatest College Basketball Programs of All Time," which hits newsstands Tuesday (the 25th).
A poster on Valleytalk (Ace95) was able to scour the internet and compile a PARTIAL list of the programs through various news releases. The entire list has yet to be released, but here's what we know so far.....
1. Kentucky
2. UCLA
3. North Carolina
4. Kansas
5. Duke
6. Indiana
7. Louisville
8. Arkansas
9. Connecticut
10. Cincinnati
11. Utah
19. Princeton
28. UNLV
30. Purdue
31. Western Kentucky
32. Villanova
36. BYU
42. Wyoming
45. Creighton
50. LSU
51. Weber St.
54. Alabama
59. Tulsa
61. Memphis
64. Georgia Tech
66. Dartmouth
68. Holy Cross
72. Santa Clara
74. Boston College
75. Providence
77. Tennessee
78. Massachusetts
80. Davidson
81. Tennessee-Chattanooga
82. Utah St.
93. Northeastern
95. Louisiana-Monroe
96. Florida
98. New Mexico
99. Mississippi St.
Creighton is the only MVC team that is listed so far (in the top-50, no less), and with that I expect BU and WSU to make the list as well, hopefully in the top-50. Heck, if they overlook the fact that ISU has only been D-I for 35 years, they might make an appearance in the top-100. It will be interesting to see if Indiana State could sneak in, as their tradition outside of the Larry Bird years is fairly weak.
I also strongly disagree with not listing UCLA as #1. Kentucky has had more consistent success, but no team comes close in terms of national championships!
