The debate over whether or not UConn should be considered a college basketball blue blood just got personal.
The Huskies claimed their fifth national championship on Monday night, which ties them with Duke and Indiana for the fourth most all-time behind UCLA (11), Kentucky (8), and North Carolina (6). All five of those titles have come in the last 25 years, the last three under three different head coaches (Jim Calhoun, Kevin Ollie, Dan Hurley). That in itself, in my opinion, qualifies UConn as a blue blood; however, the relevancy factor brings up a different question when it comes to Kentucky’s status as one of the elite of the elites.
