Would be interesting to know the following.. Since the Tournament field expanded to 64 in 1985.. The winning percentages for the teams (and eventual National Champs)-- once they reached the Final Four-- among the cast of characters you would expect to be there like UNC/Kentucky/Duke/Mich St/Kansas.. to name a few. Just in those two games..Not the entire Tournament run since they obviously "won out" to make the FF..For example-- Might find that Duke's winning percentage (for those games) is lower than you might think..

My guess is you would find that the efficiency of UConn's participation(success) in the FF/National Championships in that period of time is superior to most--if not all-- of the "Top Men's Basketball Programs".. UCLA has been omitted  by virtue of the fact of the difference in the size of the fields during the Wooden years.

IMO... Simply another way of defining "Top Programs".. Did not suggest a comparison since 1999 to present because it would bias the results towards UConn.
