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

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

Indiana is red, not blue

UCONN is the Miami/FSU of college basketball.

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

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

Your tier 1 is solid, your tier 2 isn't.

If we are going by history then, yea, your list is great, but the last 2 decades it hasn't been that way.
The last 20 years I'd have, in no particular order:
Duke
UCONN
Kentucky
UNC
Michigan St.
Florida
Kansas
UCLA
Everyone else below...

There is no reason UF does not belong on this list.

Michigan St. has 9 Final Four appearances. I think they belong

If Indiana and Kansas are in, then Louisville should be Tier 1 as well. 33 years between their first and last title, as many titles as Kansas and a higher winning percentage than Indiana.

ARKANSAS
*Top 10 in Final Four Appearances (6)
*Top 17 in ALL-TIME Win Percentage
*Top 15 in NCAA Bids (32)
*National Championship (34 Teams have done it ...ever)
* Runner Up
* Final Fours were from 4 different coaches.
* 2 Nasimath HOF coaches.
* 30 All Americans
*Some of the biggest moments in NCAA history. (U.S. Reed)(Scotty Thurman)
ARKANSAS, whether you like it or not, is most definitely TIER 2 in College Basketball History. Compare The Hog's bb resumes with Arizona, Syracuse, Georgetown, and others and you will understand.
