The 10 Best College Basketball Programs Since 2000

7. Arizona Wildcats

Average nERD: 14.18

At only 48 years old, Sean Miller isn't to the level of Rick Pitino, Bo Ryan and Mark Few, but he's been successful in his time at Arizona all the same. In seven seasons under Miller, the Arizona Wildcats have gone 188-61. If we're including their time prior to that, under coach Lute Olson and others, the Wildcats have a win percentage of 72.6% in 585 games.

Over the last 17 seasons, the 2000-01 season was Arizona's best. They went 28-8 with a nERD of 21.1 and ended their year with a loss in the national final.

Ranking in just the 65th percentile defensively, the Wildcat offense has been the key to their success. On average, they have placed in the 87th percentile nationally and have scored at least 70 points per game in all but one season.
