Saw this on Reddit and thought I’d share here... A guy on there has been making a bunch of charts and just did one for the top 20 programs of the last 50 seasons. It’s based on overall record with bonuses for tourney appearances and going deep in the tourney. This time frame encompasses the entire Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson eras. Despite struggles in the post-Nolan era, Arkansas is still 17th on this post.
1. North Carolina
2. Kentucky
3. Duke
4. UCLA
5. Kansas
6. Louisville
7. Syracuse
8. Indiana
9. Villanova
10. Arizona
11. Michigan State
12. UConn
13. Georgetown
14. Michigan
