UNC makes The Athletic’s list of six men’s basketball ‘blue bloods’


There were few surprises when seven sportswriters at The Athletic put the men’s college basketball programs into tiers and determined which six were "blue bloods." As you would expect, North Carolina made that top-six list, as well as Duke, Kansas and Kentucky. Joining them were UCLA and UConn. The story notes that Indiana sits in its Tier 2A.
