Where will UConn come in on ESPN's 50 in 50?

So there's 20 teams left I think I've got them off the top of my head (these aren't in order although I think the top 6 will play out like it's ordered). I'm not sure if I'm putting too much weight on recent history for a bunch of these bigger schools but they all end up in the tourney a ton, have a few conference titles and have been rather consistent over the years. Can't come up with who else would be up here this high. (Pitt? Butler? Temple?)

1.UCLA
2. UK
3. UNC
4. Dook
5. Ind
6. KU
7. UConn
8. Cuse
9. Nova
10. G'Town
11. Zona
12. Ville
13. Michigan St
14. Michigan
15. Washington
16. Ohio St
17. Wisconsin
18. Purdue
19. GT
20. Wake Forest

Looking at this I say we probably end up behind the top 6, as well as Ville, G'Town, MSU, at #10.
 
nice job^

a couple guesses from that.
-zona higher
-cuse and nova drop some spots
-msu higher
-pitt in teens to 20

I can't figure out who's gonna be left out. I don't know a ton about a lot of these teams past the last 20 years or so but I figure if Weber State makes it on this thing then Purdue has to be, I'd think the same for Pitt but looking over it again I think they're probably off the list entirely.

According to ESPN, JaJaun Johnson played from 2997-11 for Purdue. Didn't know they included future players.
 
Utah tied with Purdue at 20, Memphis at 19.

I think we lose Washington off this list, as well as Wake Forest.

UCLA
Kansas
Kentucky
UNC
Duke
Indiana
Louisville
UConn
Cuse
Mich St
Zona

Thats my guess for top 11.

That is really shocking to me. They have a couple titles and a lot of deep runs. Top 10 is awesome.

We should still be ahead of Arizona and Syracuse, I think. So #8, behind UCLA, Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, and Louisville.
 
Just as long as Cuse is not higher than us, because that would be a travesty! With their constant choking in the NCAA's, I'm surprised that they're in the top 10! But they have had an amazing amount of regular season wins.
 
With the number of Big East teams on that list, I don't know how anyone can question that it's the best basketball conference.
 
Why are you guys so enamored with Louisville. It seems like even boneyarders don't give UConn enough respect. We have won THREE National Championships since 1999. And what the heck has Kansas done that puts them ahead of us? Oh, that's right Phog Allen, Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning. We have Jim Calhoun, Ray Allen and Kemba Walker. I'll take our 3. The heck with it, WE SHOULD BE #1!

So what's the highest the Huskies could be ranked? I see ucla, uk, unc, dook as locks. Given it goes back so far, ku and the hoosiers are very likely, almost locks. So, how about 7?
 
So, my prediction:

9. Syracuse
8. UConn
7. Louisville
6. Indiana
5. Kentucky
4. Kansas
3. Duke
2. UNC
1. UCLA
 
I'd be willing to bet if that -5 was a 5 then we would be a #8. The 50 in 50 team is sick.

Kemba
Allen
Rip
Yell
Okafor

Butler
Thompson
Smith
