ESPN has created a point scheme to determine the best programs of Modern Basketball. The system grants points on National Championships, and yearly success and takes points away for sub-500 seasons.
Villanova came in at #31 with 126 points.
We Did the Math...
Update- thanks to Eric for at noting Allan Ray's 3rd Team All-America (which earns 1 point). Also, initially a 20-Win season was worth 2 points (but it was changed to 1 point)- So, Villanova should have 120 points or 134 points
