I love UK basketball but try to be objective and look at the whole picture and hear are a few of my thoughts.

Uk has 7 more years but the first 3 years UK only played 15 games. And in the 7 years prior to UNC they only played 47 games total. Because of NCAA penalties UK did not play the '52-'53 season and did not participate in the post season in '89-'90 or '90-'91. UNC played 27 games in the 1952-53 season and they played 12 games in the post season for 1989-90 and 1990-91. That gives UNC 39 additional games. UK played 47 games prior to the start of UNC but UNC played 29 games when UK was serving NCAA penalties. So I think that erases the 7 year difference and in total UK has been eligible 8 more games than UNC.

UNC has made more final four but won less than UK. UNC has 18 appearances with only 8 made finals winning 5. UK has made 13 appearances with 9 finals made winning 7.

All time win %
UK: 76%
UNC: 73%

NCAA Finals win %
UK- 77.8%
UNC- 62.5%

The teams are very close but UK has the edge whether it be titles, games or win percentage.
