someone is going to get their 4th or 9th title monday night, just a wealth of riches.

Doesn't matter who wins .... Duke UNC UK and UConn will have accounted for 14 of the past 24 national titles.    Just impressive

this got me thinking while I was bored this AM, and I wasn't exactly sure where to put this. Although they were low seeds, that was a National Championship matching the #2 and #3 programs of all time, this is how I do the math. It's simple, AD's are judged on #titletowns, individual programs are judged on nattys, and most importantly, most recent nattys. I count the ones within the last 25 years as double the importance, and this is how the top 10 programs iron out.

1st:    UCLA: 11 + 1 (1995) = 12
2nd:    Kentucky: 8 + 3 (1996, 1998, 2012) = 11
3rd:    UCONN: 4 + 4 (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014) = 8
         Duke: 4 + 4 (1991, 1991, 2001, 2010) = 8
         North Carolina: 5 + 3 (1993, 2005, 2009) = 8
6th:    Indiana: 5 + 0 = 5
7th:    Florida: 2 + 2 (2006, 2007) = 4
         Louisville: 3 + 1 (2013) = 4
           Kansas: 3 + 1 (2008) = 4
10th:    Michigan State: 2 + 1 (2000) = 3

what a historic match up that was.

UConn has an opportunity to solidify themselves as the preeminent basketball school of an era this evening.

Duke should show 1992 instead of 1991 twice, but i like your system Shooter

old indiana tucks have just got to be besides themselves when they think about how shitty their program has become.  That program has taken a Royalsesque type nosedive.

Well my friend, there's Royalsegue nosedives (no postseason appearances in over 20 years), or there's a mild nose dive of Indiana which has only been to 1 Final Four, and won 2 conference titles in the last 15 years.

Yeah, but in the last eleven years they've had seasons of 14-15, 15-14, 6-25, 10-21, 12-20 and 17-15.  5/11 on NCAA bids during that span, never past the sweet sixteen.  Didn't even make it to the NIT this year, Crean's sixth at the helm.  I don't know dick about the Royals, but that is some incredibly shitty basketball for a blue blood.  Most of them are turning on Crean now as they don't look to be an NCAA tourney team next season either.
