    Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition

    Based on the Street and Smith mathematical formula from their outstanding
    magazine in 2004. A very comprehensive overall evaluation. The way the
    points were awarded:

    All Time Winning percentage x 40 (unsure why they did it this way)
    Number of 20 win seasons x 2 points
    Number of 30 win seasons x 3 points
    Seasons finishing in the AP Top 20/25 x 3 points
    Seasons finishing in the AP Top 10 x 5 points
    Seasons finishing as the AP Final #1 x 10 points
    Conference regular season titles x 10 points
    Conference tournament titles x 6 points
    NIT Titles x 10 points
    NCAA Tournament appearances x 10 points
    NCAA Tournament wins x 4 points
    NCAA Sweet 16s x 4 points
    NCAA Elite 8s x 8 points
    NCAA Final 4s x 14 points
    NCAA Title game appearances x 16 points
    NCAA Titles x 25 points
    NCAA Probations x a negative 3 points

    So, the top 14 programs through the 2012 Season:

    1. Kentucky 3261.5 points
    2. North Carolina 2771.5
    3. UCLA 2582.7
    4. Kansas 2482.8
    5. Duke 2334.1
    6. Indiana 1711.5
    7. Louisville 1621.2
    8. Ohio State 1395
    9. UConn 1393.7
    10. Cincinnati 1223.2
    11. Syracuse 1220.5
    12. Arizona 1202.8
    13. Michigan State 1155.9
    14. Arkansas 1148.6

    A couple of things; the gap between UK and #2 is 490 points. The #2, #3
    #4, and #5 programs are within 437 points of each other. Kansas is very
    close to overtaking UCLA for #3.

    Lastly, Louisville with 1621.5 points is basically 50% as great a program
    as UK with 3261.5 points.

    C Cousins

    I can't decide on which team I'd like more. Wall can't shoot, but the rest of that team would make it a bizarre inside-out nightmare.

    OTOH, the other team could legitimately claim every rebound within a ten-mile radius. It'd also have enough jets to take off, if needed.

    The Reds are honoring UK tomorrow night.

    Bought a pair of cheap tickets on StubHub...I couldn't resist seeing my two favorite sports teams in one place.

    That's some pretty interesting stuff there, and did raise my eyebrows. The Top 7 didnt surprise me, but from that point on it did. I would be curious as to where UNLV, DePaul, NC State, Marquette, Purdue, and Notre Dame would be on the list.

    Hopefully they will show a bit of it on the pregame. Hoping too Cal will stick around for the game and maybe be interviewed during it. Very cool of the Reds to do this BTW.

    Some highlights of the interview for me.

    1) A mention of Hood. Does that mean some PT next year?
    2) Jumping when the smoke stacks went off.
    3) The lovely lady to his right. She really kept my attention.

    The most interesting thing to me is that OSU is 8th and is the only school on this list whose hoops squad is a definitive second class citizen in its own town. I am perpetually saddened at the disparity between football and hoops here in Columbus.

    BTW, where would OSU rank on the same list for football? My guess is one or two positions above 8th.

    LOL.........look on the bright side.......OSU is a football school that has deep B-ball tradition!

    Personally, Arizona and UConn surprised me the most. They werent even thought of until the mid 80's.

    Seemed like he was going out of his way not to mention any of his incoming freshman by name.

    Seems as though there were a few Reds fans that didn't like the idea of the Reds honoring UK's championship. I figure it was some Ohio State, UC and UL fans that are jealous.

    It's sounding like UK is refusing to bring their teams or fans back to Bloomington. After the shameful way our visiting fans were treated, I must say that I'm very glad to hear this. DeWayne Peevy said UK would not be going back and it's looking right now like he wasn't lying. If IU doesn't want to play on a neutral court they can go away.

    Extremely interesting, well-made short film made about night of UK championship win in Lexington. Fun video, must watch.

    I feel the same way. We can replace them on the schedule with Ohio State and not miss a beat. With tOSU becoming a consistent basketball presence and sharing a border, I think Kentucky and Ohio State could become a pretty good rivalry.

    Indiana needs us more than we need them. We sell out Rupp regardless. I don't think IU fans will storm the court if they beat Kansas in Bloomington either.
