An Amazing Stat

Post by colchar » November 28th, 2012, 3:49 pm

I came across this while reading something on Wikipedia (I don't normally check that site but had followed a link) and, if true (easily checked if one wants to put forth the effort), it is amazing:

The Duke University men's basketball team has been ranked as the #1 team in the nation 235 weeks in their history. That is as many as Michigan State, Syracuse, UConn, Louisville, Ohio State, NC State, Arkansas, Georgetown, Maryland, Florida, Marquette, Villanova, and California combined. These thirteen programs have been to 63 Final Fours (2 vacated) and 17 National Titles.

That rocks.

Here's another amazing stat. CTN's fb status got 115 likes since last night. :)

Just over 50 was the previous record.
