Watching the Kansas- Duke game, I realized that this was the one "blue blood" confrontation in the Elite 8. It made me wonder exactly where we draw the "blue blood" line. I thought I'd look up the total victories in the NCAA tournament by school:
NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament all-time team records - Wikipedia
(click on the word 'wins' and the arrow to get the list by victories)
The list is up to date through last year's tournament and has not been updated, (Maryland Baltimore County was in the 2008 tournament and lost to Georgetown: the list has their record as 0-1). Kentucky now has 128 wins, North Carolina 124, Duke 112, Kansas 107 and Syracuse 68.
Is 100 wins the cut-off point? If not what should it be? Is this the best way to measure "blue bloods"?
