Show SPORTO? SHORTS 1 Thinkers Are Sinkers The University of Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania is usually thought of more for its Ivy League academic reputation than as a national collegiate basketball power. But over the past 10 years, Penn has ranked with the best in basketball. The top five teams in NCAA Division 1 basketball during the past ten years stack up this way in won-lost won-lost records: 1. UCLA-277-23(.923) 2. Marquette -254 -38 (.870) 3. North Carolina-243-64 (.792) 4. Kentucky-227-62 (.785) B. Penn-213-Bf (.783) It all goes to show that the Ivy League can effectively effect-ively combine athletics and academics, and still produce top-flight winning teams. Good thinkers can be tops as basketball sinkers. |
