If UNC had started playing basketball the same year as UK, UNC would have more wins by far. Irregardless of the fact that UNC plays in a tougher conference.

While UK does have 7 NCAA Titles, don't forget that back in the old days only one team from a conference made it to the tournament. UNC had to fight off the likes of Duke and NC State. Yet if with this said UNC has more Final Fours than UK.

I'll have to admit that UK fans are very loyal, but put it simply what else is there in Kentucky? I was at the Regional Semifinals last year, and the typical UK fan was in their mid 60's. Surely elderly folks have better ways to spend their retirement?

UNC has been to the Tournament for 25 plus straight years. When was the last time they a losing record or placed lower than 3rd in the ACC? Heck when was the last time they were on NCAA probation?

Finally, Dean Smith has more wins than Rupp. He all has more tournament wins. Also he wasn't a racist. This lone fact will haunt Rupp until basketball no longer exists.
