Although the UC Bearcats didn't make it to the Sweet 16 this year, the AP still recognized the program in its
All-Time Top 100 basketball teams.
The AP has been ranking basketball teams since January 1949, when it released its first All-Time Top 100 list, with Saint Louis as the first no. 1. Over the years, the format has undergone a number of changes, but is still released before the outcome of the NCAA tournament so national championship wins aren't a factor.
This year, UC came out at no. 10 as the top "mid-major" program, appearing more times than any other program not currently in a Power 5 conference.
See if your favorite team made the
top 100.
