Program of the decade? (2000-09)

[nesper]

Kansas, and their stats, records, results, say otherwise.

I'm also curious why anyone has Florida in there. Florida has back to back National Championchipss, awesome. They also failed to get past the second round since 2000-2001 leading up to that, and haven't made the tournament since.

So if your basing it on National Championships, then it's a tie between Florida and UNC, and MSU doesn't have a say.

If you are trying to look at the overall picture, I don't see how you cannot put Kansas in that argument of 3. They have been just as impressive from a results standpoint, if not more.

Florida has 3 championship game appearances , 2 of which they won back to back. between 2000-2009, kansas has 2 one of which they won. Id put kansas at 4. michigan state has been a consistently top team there is no doubting that at all. 4 final fours 1 championship. They have year in year out played the toughest schedule in the country. They always make noise in the tournament.

ESPN put Kansas at #2 on their list behind UNC. Michigan State tied with Florida at 3. I can live with that.

Florida also hasn't appeared in the tournament since their 2007 run.



Kansas has been most consistent overall as team of the decade IMO. That goes through the tournament and overall record.


You can't just throw out from 2000-2002/3 for UNC because Roy Williams wasn't there. It was part of the decade. There is no way UNC should be program of the decade at all. Especially after this year added in with it.

agreed, no way can a team that will have missed the tournament 3 of the last 8 years be program of the decade

I think we can all agree that the top3 in whatever order are

UConn
Mich St
Kansas

UConn missed the tournament 3 times between 2000-2009. they arent even the top team at thier own university.

Florida played msu in 2000 in the natl champ game starting this decade.

and yet florida hasn't made the tournament since 2007

they didn't even make it out of the second round between 2001 and 2005. No way Florida goes above UConn. Florida had 3 good years the entire decade.
