Along with UNLV, UNC, Duke, UCLA, Kansas, Kentucky and someone else.
Arizona
So
3 Big East (All original founding members too)
2 Pac 10
2 ACC
1 Big 12
1 SEC
1 MWC
I'm actual amazed that UNLV got up there. That 6-7 year span must have been amazing.
Remember that the regular season means something in these rankings and UNLV dominated the Big West for a lot of those years.
UNLV since 1984-85
Nine conference tourney titles, Twelve conference regular season titles, Two at-large berths
One national title
Two national semifinal losses
One Elite Eight loss
Two Sweet 16 losses
Four 30+ win teams
Eleven 20-29 win teams
One "bad loss" (12-seed Kentucky in 1985)
Two sub .500 seasons
Plus I bet a couple of those non-NCAA seasons where they had 20+ wins they went to the NIT. They did have the NCAA violations under Bill Bayno. I'm unsure if they actually had violations that they were punished for under Jerry Tarkanian.
Larry Johnson was a Naismith winner, so I presume he was an All-American.
Yup...and Jerry T did all this with the best team money could buy....
