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.

Thanks, I had no idea they were that good pre Coach K. Born in 1972, so I really dont rememebr a pre Coach K Duke program, and I am not a hater, but not the level of fan of Duke that I know their pre Coach K hsitory like I know the pre Keady history of Purdue.

Thanks for responding, kind of interesting for sure

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

Temple was a very dominant team in the early and mid years. They haven't made much noise in the last 30-40 years but before that they were always near the top of competitive teams.

ND is the head scratcher for me, as someone else posted it's probably being an Indiana school playing cupcakes with their independent status. They are also very rarely a trash team so being above .500 for 100+ years adds up I guess.

Yeah - they had some really good teams in the early to mid '60s making a few National Semi's when UCLA was starting their run. Then it was lean for a while until they got all the way to the NCAA title game against Kentucky in '78 with a young team under Bill Foster. Most of that team was around two years later when they got ot the regional final in Rupp Arena, only to fall to none other than Lee Rose's Purdue squad, led by Joe Barry Carroll. It took Krzyzewski a few years to get it going after that.....fortunately for Duke, they gave him some runway......

John Chaney had Temple nationally competitive through out the 80s and 90s--knocked Purdue out of the NCAA Tournament in 1991 and 1999.

I remember when he stormed into Calipari's press conference and threatened to take him out after a Temple v. UMass game back in '94. He's gonna do it old school and send in the goons!
