To be honest, I don't think Kansas is either one or two...I think that argument is saved for North Carolina and Kentucky. And Kentucky is set to make another run...just like every other decade...
UK has dominated over the long haul.
I am a Kansas fan, and I happen to think that Kansas is the greatest tradition in college basketball. Kentucky leads by 18 wins all time, and a couple of championships. Put that in the balance on one side.
Kansas compares favorably in all time stats as above, but what Kentucky can not claim is...
1. The Inventor of basketball coaching at its school.
2. The first coach of the game coaching at its school.
3. Sending apprentices of Allen's to Kentucky and North Carolina who built programs that made them among the greatest traditions in the game.
Thats right. If there was no Rupp, thered be no Kentucky. If there was no Kansas thered be no Rupp.
If there was no Dean Smith, thered be no North Carolina. If there was no Kansas, thered be no Dean Smith.
Smith and Rupp are both Kansas products. No, not Kansas UNIVERSITY. I mean KANSANS. Rupp was from Halstead, Kansas and Smith was from Emporia, Kansas.
I say this respectfully. The paltry 18-win lead is overshadowed when on the other side of the scale you have one university--Kansas--being directly responsible for building the three greatest traditions in college basketball.
I say that to my Kentucky friends with the utmost respect for their program. I do not impune their program at all. It is a great tradition there. Simply put, however, when you take all the factors into consideration, Kansas is clearly the most storied program in all of Division I basketball.

However, I don't think it belongs in this group. It's not like it's been the scene of a lot of unbelievable college basketball moments caught on national tv.
Butler doesn't play in the Big Ten or the ACC. There's a huge difference in the quality of college basketball played at Hinkle and the quality of college basketball played at !@#$%embly Hall or Rupp Arena.
This list has lost all credibility.
