...here's one of interest to me that I can't find. I didn't spend a ton of time on it, but enough I should've run across it.
There is an article -- I think it was a Sports Illustrated article, but could have been some other national publication at the time -- that was published in the 1990s. It was on the internet; I've seen it here multiple times.
The article was a ranking of the top 100 college basketball programs of all-time.
It had special interest to me, because Northeast Louisiana University (now Louisiana Monroe, ULM) was on it. Not only were they on it, they were ahead of Florida; I think by 1 spot, but ahead of them.
At that time, NLU had only 1 losing season in 30-something years of basketball, and had been to the NCAA tournament 6-8 times, with a string of 3 or 4 in a row, or 4 or so in 6 years, or something like that. Florida had Lon Kruger to thank for a Final Four, but no history at all before then to speak of until Billy Donovan arrived in the mid-90s.
Anybody find that article, I'll give you a high five and major kudos.
NOTE: It is NOT the article about the AP all-time Top 100 college basketball programs. It was an objective/subjective type ranking.
