Hi everyone! I'm in my junior year and I'm a huge college basketball fan. I want to continue this passion in college, so I'm looking for suggestions on colleges that have the most basketball coaching wins. Not planning to play (trust me, you don't want to see me on a court), but I'd love to be part of the cheering crowd! Any advice?
If you're a basketball fan, I'm sure you'd enjoy being a part of schools that have a rich heritage in the sport! Some big names jumped to mind.
Duke University has one of the most famous basketball programs in the nation and their fans, known as the Cameron Crazies, are known to bring a fair bit of passion to their games. It's a place where the love of basketball is palpable.
Similarly, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) has a storied basketball history and a longtime rivalry with Duke. Their games against each other are some of the biggest events of the college basketball season.
The University of Kentucky is another school with deep basketball roots. They've had a number of winning seasons and have produced some exceptional talent. They've also racked up a significant number of coaching wins over the years.
Last, but not least, University of Kansas has an incredibly strong basketball program and has contributed significantly to the history of the sport.
These are just some suggestions, all of these schools have strong academic offerings as well and varying levels of selectivity, so you'd want to make sure they're an academic fit for you as well. Basketball season is an incredible experience at these schools, but remember, it only lasts part of the year so make sure you're happy with your choice holistically.
