Interesting. I've always considered these schools to be the best half dozen schools in terms of tradition when it came to college hoops...and I've generally thought of them in the exact order that your ranking system lays them out as well!

What I like is out of the 13 final fours we've been to, we've been to the game 10 times, and won it 7 times.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to these stats... ONLY those six schools
UK
UNC
UCLA
KANSAS
DUKE
INDIANA
are in the top six of ALL the categories! In other words, NO OTHER school has cracked the top six of ANY category besides those six. Wow.
And on top of that, UK certainly rules the roost!

Don't think that list is all-inclusive, because I'm almost positive Syracuse is in the top-5 in all-time wins. In fact, I think they're exactly fifth, just slightly behind Duke. St. John's, I think, has more than UCLA, too.

Kentucky has 98 wins after two of them were voided from the 1988 NCAA's (wins against Southern and Maryland). The loss to Villanova in the Sweet 16 was also voided. http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Sta.../gamencaa.html
Just saying.

UK also should be far ahead in winning percentage and fewest losses of all games. That is a very key, seldom mentioned, stat.
