Musketeer Madness

Looks like we will attain a #1 or #2 seed. Spoke with buds about who are the most elite programs past 50 years. Top 4 hands down were Duke, Kansas,
N Carolina & Kentucky. We lost to Duke 2 times in NCAA & Kansas once. We haven't played N C or KY. These teams win a lot of games on name recognition. We can use a name recognition win on way to Final 4. #5 thru #10 were all a big step down - as none has been as consistent over the years, but included NOVA, UCLA, Mich St, Arizona & because of Regional Recognition Louisville & Ohio St. We have beaten Louisville, lost to UCLA twice, lost to Ohio St & got Arizona's monkey off our back last year. It would be special to reach the Final 4 by taking down 1 of the Top 4 programs. Other comments on these or other schools appreciated.

And silly me thought it depended upon the score at the game's end.

Which elite team has beaten us the most times without X having never beaten them?

I know.

Look in the media guide

A wild guess...Gonzaga?

Duke?

X is 0-4 against Duke
That's my pick

I think that is the winner.

Started the thread which was meant to be about beating Elites in the NCAA Tourney. Didn't say a word about regular season. What I found is us being 0-2 vs Duke in NCAA & 0-1 vs Kansas in NCAA.

I mentioned Gonzaga as we have lost to them at the Cintas, we've lost to them at their place and we've lost to them twice in the tournament. They are our out of conference Villanova.
