The DePaul team is the worst team in BE history

can you lose what wasnt there?

Oh that’s not fair.

Cheating or no cheating (cause if you’re not cheating you’re not trying. 😉)

• 3 National titles
• 10 Final Fours
• 43 NCAA Tournament appearances
• 3 great coaches (Pitino, Crum, Hickman)
• 10 seasons a 3 seed or higher
• Ranked in the AP top 5 - 27 different seasons
• Ranked in the AP top 10 - 36 different seasons
• 655 weeks total in the AP polls
• 23 regular season titles
• 17 conference tournament titles
• Program wins 1905
• Program winning % .655
• 75 players drafted to the NBA

The fall from grace has been hard and fast. But make no mistake about it. Louisville is / was a blue blood program. The drop off only began in the Covid season of 2020-21.

Unfortunately I think they have elevated themselves into the blue blood conversation.

They don’t have a tradition that goes as far back as UCLA / Kansas / UNC.

However, they did make the tournament in the 50s / 60s / and a couple times in the 70s so it’s not like basketball was completely irrelevant there before Calhoun, but their success was dormant for a while.

Ultimately when your program wins 5 national titles under 3 different coaches (and yes I understand Ollie won with Calhoun guys, but he got the job done) you are in an elite crowd.

• Only missed 11 tournaments since 1989 and 5 took place while in the AAC debacle.
• Conference Champs - 29 times
• Conference tournament champs - 8 times
• 6 Final Fours
• 6 additional Elite 8 appearances
• Under Calhoun 28 NCAA Tournament victories by double digits
• #1 seed - 5 times
• #2 seed - 6 times
• AP #1 - 6 different seasons
• AP top 5 - 15 different seasons
• .642 program winning %
• 8 All Americans
• 50 players in the NBA all time - 22 first round draft picks

So I would call UCONN a blue blood that had a drought in the 70s / 80s and a small blip on the radar when the NBE broke away from the OLD BE.
