The updated Top 25 All-Time Basketball Team rankings now appear on the all-time game log as well as below. The average all-time great team in the game has a Rating of "0," which is about the same as a KenPom rating of 21. So even the 135th rank team - Niagara with Calvin Murphy, has a rating of -16.6 which would be equal to a KenPom rating of +4.4 in KenPom or four points better than the average team.
The teams in the all-time great 8 conferences are listed here,
Some of the teams near the bottom were included because they had one of the top 100 players of all time, even though their overall team would not rank with the all-time best. Bill Bradley (Princeton), Pete Maravich (LSU) and Rick Berry (Miami) three of the greatest players ever though their teams rank near the bottom in our all-time great play. We also tried to include as many schools as possible, so for example the teams with surprising Final 4 runs like VCU, George Mason and Butler are included rather than just including 10 or more UCLA, UNC, Kansas of Kentucky teams.
