College Basketball Teams with the Most Wins All Time
Kentucky Wildcats Have the Most Wins in College Basketball History (grfx.cstv.com)
Mike Krzyzewski became the all-time winningest coach in Division I college basketball history last night as the sixth-ranked Duke Blue Devils defeated the 12th-ranked Michigan State Spartans at Madison Square Garden, 74-69. Coach K now has 903 wins.
He’s a big reason Duke’s got 1,947 wins – fourth most in college basketball history (as of the date of this post).
But it’s the Kentucky Wildcats who are the top…dog. They, the Kansas Jayhawks and North Carolina Tar Heels are the only schools with over 2,000 victories.
