Hopefully we can keep that spread this year as they aren't a powerhouse either and see if we can get a team to increase it next year.

Seeing the # of seasons on this actually makes UNC look the best. Averaging almost 21 wins per season with UK at almost 20. Kansas and Duke is less than 19 wins per season.

LOL. The Cheats should have forfeited about 300 of those wins and a couple championships for achieving them during a two-decade era when they set up an entirely fraudulent academic department to keep basketball and football players eligible without having to attend any classes. No one has come close to that level of cheating in history.

UNC-CHeats is the single most tainted, corrupt athletic department in the country. It should be a ban-able offense to say anything positive about them, but I suppose you deserve a warning.

Kansas has played a lot more seasons. So it's really not even close.

UK has won 25 more games than UNC in seven more seasons. Taking out the 1952-53 season that Kentucky was not allowed to play a schedule this means UK started playing eight seasons before UNC did.

However UK went 25-43 in its first 8 seasons. So taking out the head start UK had, they’d have the same number of wins as UNC currently has with 43 fewer losses.

And keep in mind UNC already has played more games than UK has as it is currently.

Ugh, I didn’t realize dUKe was so close. Can you imagine the hype if they ever take the lead. Smh
