1.How do they measure it then?Pre season NIT championships?God you sound so retarded.
2.They havent been to a finals game let alone won the whole thing for 20 years.I was fucking bare down there the last time they won it.Duke has won it three times and been to NINE final fours since '88, motherfucking NINE, beeatch!'88 is the past, DUKE is the present.
They were in the Finals 5 years ago. Since then has DUke? Nope.
Prior to K, what was Duke worth? Nothing.
Kansas Basketball is the end all, be all in college basketball. All roads lead there.

The father of basketball was their first coach.
The father of coaching basketball played and coached there.
Adolph Rupp, arguably the greatest coach of the game played there. Dean Smith played there. Ralph Miller played there. Clyde Lovellette played there. Wilt Chamberlain, possibly the greatest player in the history of the game played there.
Every one these guys influenced everything happening in the game today.

So Russell lead USF to two national championships and 55 straight victories. They actually changed the width of the lane because of russell. HE CHANGED THE RULES OF THE GAME!!!! Both are credited with changing the goal tending rule. He ran the 440 in 49.6 seconds, and was the 7th best high jumper in the WORLD (in 1956).
He is a 12 time all star, 5 time NBA MVP, won two NCAA Championships, one gold medal, and 11 NBA championships in 13 years.
Wilt comes no where near any of that.

Clays a sheltered mid western kid.He has no idea about what basketball is really like.Tobacco road has been more of a center of basketball over the last 40 years than any where.Philly has been the most consistent city and is the home of Wilt Chamberlin and the big five.
Bill Self tonight has that chance most coaches only dream of.The chance to throw off that choke artist reputation and earn the respect of one BIRD33.
Its a match up of two really athletic teams that are not that smart.Rose is a stud but Kansas guards are no slouch either.I give the edge to Kansas only because of how bad they jumped all over UNC.UNC got exposed defensivly and Hanesborough dropped out of the top 5 in the draft.Memphis has good size so it will be a good matchup.I've been wrong all tournament so I hope me picking Kansas screws them.

In the NBA Russell had cousy and havlicek..
but when has the university of san francisco done anything since russell?
Why is it every NBA player says Oscar Robertson was the baddest MF to ever play the game? Does he get enough credit here?
