The 10 Best College Basketball Programs Since 2000
Where do Coach K's Duke Blue Devils rank among the best college programs this century?

3. North Carolina Tar Heels

Average nERD: 15.15

There is no cutoff for UNC's greatness in college basketball. We're not even talking about the days of Michael Jordan and head coach Dean Smith. In the modern day alone (over the last 17 seasons), the Tar Heels have won 72.7% of their 605 contests, along with two national championships during coach Roy Williams' 13 years.

In their 2004-05 title run, the Heels won 33 games and earned a nERD of 22.88. That marked their own best season and the third best among these 10 programs.

In comparison to the other nine squads, North Carolina has undoubtedly operated at the fastest pace. In the past 17 seasons, they have played at a pace faster than 78.2% of teams. Their offense has fed off of that uptempo pace, ranking within the 83rd percentile on a yearly basis.
