Kansas 2022 upset of UConn 1996 to advance to our Elite 8 as the 18-seed continues a trend of Kansas teams being far better than we though when we put together the Value Add Basketball Game card ratings.
We placed Paul Pierce 1997 team as the 17th greatest of all-time, but they won all five tournament games to win our second tournament and shoot up to No .2 all time in our rankings.
We picked Mario Chalmers 2008 national champs as the 51st greatest team of all-time, but they have surged to No. 3 by going 5-1 mainly in Big 12 blowouts.
The 2022 team was 71st in our preseason ranks, but is now all the way up to 37th after the upset of UConn. Here are the top 10.| Rnk | Team | Year | Rating | Preseason | Pre | Players | W | L | Pts | Allow | Conf |
