Not even sure I agree with that. Every school on that list has multiple NCs except us. But yeah- it is a testament to what CRB has done that we would even be included in such company.

whatever Barnes hasn't done, it is not because of a lack of talent.

Stay the course with Barnes, then UT is set up to make a great hire when he retires.

I agree. I just want him to win a title before he hangs it up.

Agree. I wish we were paying him slightly less, but that sentiment decreases if we win another game.

No real Cinderellas left in the tourney now.

I'm sad that Indiana is not in the top 10.  They have 5 NCs, and were briefly tied with Kentucky in the 90s for second most after UCLA.  But since then, UNC, Kansas, and UConn have all won a lot of NCs, and UK has won 3 more, while IU has won zero.  I guess technically they were no. 11 from the way the article was written, but I grew up rooting for them when Knight was their coach, and they have not been the same since.
