Title: Best Men's College Basketball Programs
Post by: Dr. Blackheart on April 20, 2015, 10:11:10 PM

Marquette checks in at #20, second in the Big East to Butler(#13). Badgers and I4 rank #12 and #14. UCONN is #1, so Miller must have been impressed. Bertrand is no where to be seen.

Was #15 somehow a misprint?  Or #26....#33....etc


I read the methodology, still makes me crack up

I think I've figured it out.  Because men's basketball average attendance was so low, the 85 students who responded to the survey were a much higher % of those who attended the games thereby weighting their responses much higher.
