How likely is it we stretch our all time wins lead?

It will probably be difficult this season as both KU and UNC will be top contenders throughout the season (so long as the NCAA goes as easy on UNC basketball as I expect them to-- their football program will take the fall, along with some of their less important sports).
I expect it'll stay about what it is now, especially if all the teams perform as they have in the tournament recently. We might lose a little ground in the regular season and make up for it in the tournament, which is all that really matters to me.

As much as I'd enjoy this. I just don't think its true. I'm sure they will take a step back but they've built enough of a foundation combined with it being during the TV era. I think they sign a solid coach and the "Duke name/brand" from the modern era will keep them competitive.
The thing with those listed programs is that all their success was before big networks and TV contracts so it was easy to fall off the face of the earth as a hot name. Duke will be around unless they hire a string of bad coaches and its a slow degradation out of the limelight like IU.
Really hope Im wrong though.
I think it's a little too early to guess this. Some people think UNC will have a pretty good team. Kansas was in some trouble before they signed Diallo, but he is a difference maker. I like our team, but our roster is thin and much will ride on whether our key players can stay healthy.
I agree. UK will be top ten a long as nobody gets injured and the NCAA leaves Skal alone. I'm thinking this season will be similar to the 2010-2011 season.
You are wrong. When K retires, it won't matter who they hire, yes they will get good players, but Duke won't get all the bullshit calls they been getting for years. I think K has a video of all officials doing beastial acts with animals.
As long as you continue to play in a mid-major conference, you will continue to add to your "all time wins" total. Everyone understands that but Kentucky fans
I can't remember how many titles the Big Ten has won in the last 20 years. Can you?
Well you are somewhat right but we lost a real easy win when we dropped the mid major IU.
LOL! Sure sounds like sour grapes to me. Let's see. Who leads the UK-IU all time series? UK has won 34 out of the 55 games played between the 2 teams, including 14 of the last 17. An Indiana fan's take on the SEC doesn't interest me. When you get your own house in order, come back and visit us.

That clip just makes my skin crawl. The creepiest two seconds in the history of sports.
I'm scared to death they will add wins to Carolina......
They're not going to take any wins from KU. KU stopped playing Alexander when they found out about his issues. I am skeptical that they'll take any away from UNC. Some of you aren't old enough to remember that they could have vacated a couple of our seasons but all they took away was two tournament wins. They'll give UNC and Kansas the same treatment. Then again, look what they did to Syracuse so who the hell knows.
Any win we get past the second round is a bonus for us .
You may be right. But if Cliff was ineligible to play "after KU found out" was he still not ineligible prior, assuming the "loan" occurred before the season started?
But, but, but Kentucky always get screwed! It's a witch hunt I tell ya! You guys sound like Iowa State and Mizzou fans, always thinking everyone is out to get you.

I find it amusing that this quote is from an Indiana fan (whom we own) and "liked" by a Kansas fan (whom we also own, even more so, actually).
We already have one lil brudder, guys. We don't have room in the house for you bitches, too.
All time wins is important but just as important is winning percentage and UK leads in this category as well: 1) UK 76.4% 2) Kansas 72.2% 3) UNC 73.6%. Plus Kansas has played 133 more games than UK and UNC has played 56 more. Given those statistics UK's reign as the king is even more amazing!
Best I can figure out here is the top 5 at the start of Cal's UK tenure:
1. UK - 1988
2. UNC - 1984
3. KU - 1970
4. Duke - 1877
5. Syracuse - 1753
Here is what is is now:
1. UK - 2178
2. KU - 2153 (UK is +7 over last 6 years)
3. UNC - 2140 (UK is +34 over last 6 years)
4. Duke - 2062 (UK is +5 over last 6 years)
5. Temple - 1849
1. UK - 1988
2. UNC - 1984
3. KU - 1970
4. Duke - 1877
5. Syracuse - 1753

That depends. If the NCAA dusts of the good old (only used once) Strict Liability standard then KU would have to vacate any game he played in. The theory is that he wasn't and couldn't have been eligible when he played because he violated the amateur status requirements. That's how they ruled in the Derrick Rose case.
You are probably safe though. My guess is that the NCAA would only use Strict Liability against serial offenders....... oh wait*
*Kansas probation
1956-57 - 1 yr probation
1960-62 - 2 yrs probation and postseason bans
1972-73 - 1 yr probation and postseason bans
1988-91 - 3 yrs probation and 1 yr postseason ban
2006 - 09 - 3 yrs probation
Try looking back in our history, with some things that has went on in our programs, and then compare the dooks, unc, and kansas and their programs, it would get you to thinking.
