My list:
Tier 1 (in no order)
UNC
UCLA
Duke
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Tier 2
Arizona
Syracuse
Louisville
Georgetown
Michigan State
Villanova
UCONN
eta: I am most doubtful about Michigan State belonging on this list.
eta: added UCONN to Tier 2

No UCONN on either list at all? Should be tier 1

Yes, I left them off.
I actually had them in another thread discussing this. They are Tier 2 imo.

Good list but I'm not sure Nova or Georgetown belong.

UCONN isn't technically a blue blood. They're new money

Don't think nova belongs on that list

UCONN has 4 national titles since the 1990's.
They've became a blue blood

Ohio State has more historical pedigree than Georgetown and Villanova.

Indiana is red, not blue

Yep, if UConn stays in the AAC their glory days are done. I know it's for football reasons, but if I were at UConn I'd try to join the Big East and go Indy in football if necessary. UConn football will never be a major power, but in basketball they can.

UCONN is the Miami/FSU of college basketball.
Posted on 3/18/17 at 12:27 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
Good list. I can't think of anybody else that's not new money like Florida.

Tier 2...
What about Illinois?
#14 on all-time wins list ahead of Arizona, Ohio State, Villanova, Michigan State and UCONN
#13 in winning %
9 Elite 8's
11 Sweet 16's
5 Final 4's
1x Runner-up
17X Conference Champs

I think Illinois' lack of recent success might keep them out.

Oklahoma St needs to be tier 2
Arkansas does also
Arkansas does also

No need to question Michigan State if you have Arizona on the list.
2 titles, a slew of Final Fours, consistently a great team.

Arkansas has done nothing in my lifetime and to the OP, Indiana isn't Tier 1 anymore. This isn't the 80s anymore

Your lifetime is the entire history of NCAA basketball?
