OT- All Time Basketball Wins

[Drew]

Was looking through the list of all time wins and found a couple of interesting nuggets

- Temple is 6th in all time wins? Really?

- Cincinnati is 20th giving the American 2 Top 20 all time teams

- Crazy that Penn is 15th and Princeton is 24th. They are both still up there in football wins too I believe. Kinda funny to think how different the sports climate used to be nationally

- UConn is 27th and is 20 wins behind NC State for 25th place all time

We're 64 wins behind Cincinnati for 20th all time. I could see us breaking into the top 20 in the next 15-20 years as long as we continue to win 20+ games a year. Schools like UPenn (15) and WKU (18) will probably slide back as time continues to go on

We caught and passed Villanova in 2014, but the last year and a half they've repassed us.

Total all time wins dont tell the entire story of a program. But i would like to see the total wins of the last 30 years. I guarantee UConn is top 10

Temple has played MBB for a long time and had a storied history in the 40's and 50's
Don't forget all those Chaney (sic)years when they won a ton of games while on the A10.

Temple's got great history. They're a solid program that hasn't been particular great in a few years. They were in the NCAAs for six straight years before joining the AAC. True story, we've never had a run of successive tournament appearances more than 5, which we've done twice (1956-1960 and 2002-2006).

They're higher than you'd think, but with an NIT title when that meant something (1938), and a couple of Final Fours it's not entirely surprising.

Also, fun fact, according to their Wikipedia page, we have a "longstanding" rivalry with them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Owls_men's_basketball#Rivalries).
