Winningest programs, last 5 years

[moqui]

Winningest programs since the 2008-09 season. Listing just those with at least 130 wins in that period.

Key: Schools in italics have made a Final Four over this period; schools with a * have made two Final Fours; schools in bold have won a national title.

The outlier here is UConn, which has been to two Final Fours and won a title, but is only 29th in total wins and just 35th in win percentage.

There is a lot to be said about winning a national championship.

I would absolutely trade our last five years for theirs . . . on the court, that is. Off court, not at all.

Well just about every program has sold their soul to win a National Championship.....except Kentucky. Common belief is that their day will come. Hopefully sooner than later.

Know what sticks out? The top seven - all BCS conference schools, all have a Final Four. Next seven are not BCS conference schools - only two schools have a final four.

Chart also seems to suggest that if you keep winning basketball games, eventually you find tourney success too.

Those are about the facial expressions I'd expect for a CBI championship celebration.

What do you even do with that thing? You can't display it. Give it to a wealthy alum that doesn't know any better?

4 out of the top 7 have a title.

kansas, would be the 5th of the 7, won the last game before this list started.

yep . . . 5 years might seem arbitrary, but I date the resurgence of the SU program to that season. Prior to that, SU had gone 4 years without an NCAA tourney victory and had fielded 3 NIT-caliber squads (two that actually went to the NIT and the 2006 team that would have been NIT bound had it not won the BET . . . I think that was the worst squad that SU has fielded in the last 25+ seasons).

This would be a great caption contest picture

also note that in 2015, the ACC will field the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 17th winningest schools of the last half decade.

Another cool fact: during this same period we have beaten these teams from the list:
Kansas, Louisville, UNC, Memphis, Gonzaga, SDSU, Michigan St., Pittsburgh, Florida

Put differently, and maybe more impressively: The only team on this list that we have played at least once and not beaten in the past 5 years is Butler. Edit: Oops and Ohio State.
