Program #4

4.  Kansas 778

When you get into the top six programs of all-time each fan base thinks you can make the case that each one of them are number one. When you get into the top four it's more than the fan bases, each program can make the claim.  The Kansas Jayhawks come in at number four in the top 10 programs of all-time.  Kansas owns three national championships which is tied for fourth all-time with Duke.  The Jayhawks have participated in 13 final fours which is tied with Kentucky for third all-time.  The Jayhawks own 69 NBA draft picks.  Where the Jayhawks set themselves apart from Indiana and Duke are their conference championships.  The Jayhawks have won a staggering 53 conference championships.  Some of the most legendary names in basketball are associated with the Kansas basketball program.  Some of those names are:  Dr. James Naismith, Phog Allen, and Wilt Chamberlain.  More recently:  Larry Brown, Roy Williams, and now Bill Self.  Coach Larry Brown won a national championship at Kansas in 1988 with the "Danny (Manning) and the miracles" team.  He went on to win an NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.  Roy Williams had Kansas to the door step more than once but could not win a championship for the Jayhawks.  Williams left for North Carolina where he has won two NCAA championships.  On the 20th anniversary of the "Danny and the miracles" team Kansas brought home their most recent national championship as the Jayhawks topped Memphis.  Mario Chalmers went down in NCAA glory when he hit a three pointer with 2.3 seconds left on the clock to send the game into overtime where Kansas went on to capture the school's third championship.
