We are the bluest of the blue bloods. That is all. Denied!Not even the best stretch of college basketball in the last 5 years. (UCONN women 182-8 in the last 5 years.)Not even the best individual NCAA mens Div I coaching effort in the last 5 years:John Calipari was 172-17 from 2005-2010 and 168-22 from 2006-2011 (Memphis & Kentucky)Definately not the best 5 year winning percentage ever.Duke went 164-19 or 89.6% from 1997-2002.UCLA went 335-22 from 1963-1975 (Wooden lost 22 games in 12 years 93.8%, only took self 5 years to lose 22 games 88.2%)Kentucky went 241-20 from 1945-1953. (92.3% over 8 years)It did help KU to average more than 37 games played per season. The NCAA champions for many years averaged less than 30 total games per season.Not really the bluest of the blue bloods, just a very good team that got to play CU, NU, and ISU a minimum of 6 games per year!1. We're talking men's college basketball.2. We're talking programs, not coaches.3. We're talking wins, not winning percentage.Anything else?
