The only one that surprised me was ULM's ranking, were they good in basketball at one point?

MT played them back in the 70s and 80s a few times, IIRC, so I kept up with them. They had a really good player around that time, I want to say the name Calvin Natt(?)...

A more accurate comparison would be of the modern era or past 5 or so years.

Calvin Natt is correct

Pick whatever years you want. ESPN did.
