Purdue and Indiana are tied for the 10th most all time wins in D1 college basketball. A win Friday would break that tie and knock IU out of the top 10 for the first time in our lifetimes.

MOST WINS ALL-TIME MEN’S CBB

• Kansas: 2,430
• Kentucky: 2,406
• North Carolina: 2,385
• Duke: 2,317
• UCLA: 2,016
• Temple: 2,005
• Syracuse: 2,002
• Notre Dame: 1,972
• St. Johns: 1,959
• PURDUE: 1,945
• Indiana: 1,945

An additional nugget from @cobrastats:

If teams maintained their average number of wins from the past 7 seasons, Purdue would catch the following teams in:

• Indiana: this Friday
• St. John's: 1.4 seasons
• Notre Dame: 2.5 seasons
• Temple: 4.9 seasons
• Syracuse: 6.5 seasons

So it's conceivable that in the next decade, Purdue will have the 6th most wins in NCAA history, right behind the 5 bluebloods.

Did Cobra add the variable that IU will hire a good coach this summer and that will obviously hurt Painter and Purdue and eliminate the success they have had?

Surprised to see ND up there. I look forward to passing them up also. In the meantime, POTFH!

Very surprised to see ND up that high. Never would have guessed them, Temple, or St. Johns.

Temple and Notre Dame spent a lot of their history as independents. Easier to rack up wins.

Sports-Reference.com has different numbers than listed above. Purdue is listed already at #10 and Indiana #12.
Of course Purdue is running away with the Big Ten numbers.

Lord knows they will if they manage to win Friday.

When CMP retires from Purdue, he will likely do so with Purdue well in the top 6 all-time winning programs. Impressive.

I am actually surprised Duke is that high. I know Duke was probably #1 while Coach K was there, but before the 80's didnt think they were a top profram, and that list is really about a 100 year history, not 40 years

If you look up their YOY results, they were plenty good before Coach K. Only 14 losing seasons since 1905, and 3 of those were actually with K.
