Duke. Kansas. Gonzaga.
Only three programs — the three listed above, and in that order — eclipsed 700 wins over the last 25 years. So it’s only right that those three, led by Duke and Kansas (with a combined five national titles in that span) headline my rankings of the top 25 programs over the last 25 years.
To rank the top 25 programs I dove into every objective data point you can find: Wins, losses, national titles, conference finishes, NCAA Tournament seeding. You name it. I also accounted for subjective data points you can’t find — like how a program affected the cultural direction of the sport and shaped stretches that sometimes spanned seasons.

What I landed on is below. I can add caveats all I want to make sure feelings aren’t hurt and that programs don’t feel slighted or snubbed. What I’ll emphasize here: this is a ranking of programs, not teams. So the entirety of the last 25 years is considered.
Let’s dive into it.
