23 New England programs ranked by all-time performance in Division 1

As much as this is troll bait for BC and PC, if you are going to do this right you need to weight the 64 team era more than the peach basket era. Other possible cut offs are the Lew Alcindor era or the Magic/Bird era.

Truth is before then, CBB wasn't a national sport and before Wooden's UCLA teams CBB didn't really exist at all.

UMass- Dr. J, Calipari, Camby, Travieso, Bruiser Flint, Jeff Viggiano...

I’ll give you that Dr J was a great player. Camby ok was very good. Calipari cheated his butt off and was and still is a mediocre coach that only succeeds because he can recruit top talent with BS. Travieso and Viggiano? Neither would have started for us. And Bruiser is the UMass version of KO, but without the ring. Not sure if you are serious with this post. Hope not

I don't get what's so historic about Providence? They had a nice little run in the '60s.

NCAA tournament results[edit]​

The Minutemen have appeared in the NCAA tournament nine times. Their combined record is 11–9. Their 1996 victories have been vacated by the NCAA thus their official tournament record is 7–8.

Only one appearance, 1962, before Cal, and 3 after Cal.

Without even talking about players, their coaches in historical terms were pretty good. Mullaney, Gavitt, Pitino, Rick Barnes, Pete Gillen, Tim Welsh. That being said, not much to show for all that coaching talent.

We should play Holy Cross more often.

We should play Holy Cross more often.

Former UConn player RJ Evans is an assistant there

Maybe they get extra credit because Bob Cousy went there

They won a NC in 1947. and an NIT in 1954 Claiming a second
NC , they were 23-2 losing at home to UConn led by Art Quimby and Worthz Patterson
However they hold a lifetime winning record against us
They also produced Togo Pslazzi
Tommy Heinsohn , Jack the shot Foley and Ronnie Perry among many more .
Ironically Joe Mullany who was on the 1947 team is the coach that put PC on the map
Their decision to decline a Big East invite is questionable.
