Yes, that's IT as in information technology. The British comedy, which aired originally on Channel 4, doesn't have a lot episodes just 25 total, including the special that wrapped up the series , but each one is gold. The series focuses on the basement-bound, IT department at a big corporation, computer experts Roy and Moss, and their technologically-illiterate manager, Jen.

And, if you like shows about terrible people being consistently terrible, you won't find a show that does that better than It's Always Sunny.

Since then, the pros have poured through the program and UConn's won three more championships , , All but a few of their NBA picks have come in the past 30 years.
The Huskies linking back up with the Big East was a major positive for the program, that league and college basketball. Calhoun probably won't ever be usurped as the school's best men's coach in history, and Kevin Ollie deserves a nod for winning that unexpected title in '14, but Dan Hurley is in a spot now to keep UConn going as a top program.
As you can see, the bar is even higher than that. And now's about that time where the list hits the predictable schools -- and yet Indiana falling outside the top six of the "traditional" blue bloods means a redefining should be in order.
Indiana has long loved its basketball, as a state, as much as any in this country. The Hoosiers are the most important game in town. Bob Knight created an institution in Bloomington, Indiana, winning games vs. The Hoosiers went one season after the squad that lost in the Elite Eight.
Knight and IU also won the whole thing in '81 and ' Indiana was as prominent a program as any in college basketball from through the mid s. The Hall of Famer had a vicious temper, and dogged stubbornness cost him his job in the end, but he's still beloved by plenty in the Hoosier State. His influence on basketball is forever there with the innovative motion offense. He has a quote that should stand taller than all of his others when it comes to basketball: "Basketball may have been invented in Massachusetts, but it was made for Indiana.
The Hoosiers were good before Knight arrived, naturally, winning games from under Branch McCracken and Harry Good, the team's first national title happening in and its second in Guyton, Victor Oladipo.
The Hoosiers have taken a step back in the past two decades, though Mike Davis got the team to the title game in '02 and Tom Crean helped the program find its footing after NCAA sanctions under Kelvin Sampson slowed momentum. Archie Miller was a widely praised hire in and his teams have been better every year since.
Louisville ahead of Indiana -- and the race wasn't too, too close. While the Hoosiers have bobbed and weaved in the near years since Knight left IU, Louisville has made multiple Final Fours, won the national championship which was vacated, but again: we are counting all those wins here and managed to maneuver from the Big East into the ACC and not lose its footing nationally.
Rick Pitino's exit was extremely messy and filled with controversy. But this is a program that's yet to have a bad coach dating back to the early s. Crum coached for three decades , won two national titles and had Louisville as competitive as just about any program in the s. He was succeeded by Pitino, who flamed out with the Celtics only to return to college basketball and prove he had not lost a step.
The best team in school history figures to be that '80 title-winning squad with the Doctors of Dunk, led by Griffith. Did you know: local legend has it that the "high five" was popularized first by Cardinal hoops, sometime around the late s. I mentioned Cincinnati's league-by-league hopscotch above, and Louisville's really the only school to best that. The program seems to be in great hands now with Chris Mack, who came by way of Xavier and hasn't seen a dip so far.
There are programs that rank higher, but in terms of pure college basketball history, does any school have more star power and icon allure than Kansas? There's plenty of others, but that is so much college basketball history in and of itself. Kansas does not rate as the best program of all time but it's at the top of the list for having the most distinguished and accomplished names in the history of the sport.
Amid all the records and achievements, the most outrageous one to me is still Self winning 14 straight regular-season titles I don't think that will be duplicated at the power-conference level in the next years.
Amid all this dominance, it's still surprising to know that KU has "just" three national championships , , but the Final Four runs outside of that are plenty 12 and KU's NCAA Tournament wins are fourth most in history.
The list of outstanding Jayhawks requires multiple pages, frankly. Who's the best coach in school history? Allen has the building named after him -- and it might be the best venue in college basketball -- but Self's dominance in the modern era can't be usurped. Allen won games, Self is sitting at , so he'll need almost five more seasons to catch him.
John Wooden built a monolith of success and created a dynasty, the likes of which will never be seen again in men's Division I basketball. The Bruins won and won and won and became one of the biggest stories in sports from the mids all the way through , when Wooden surprisingly retired after winning his 10th and final championship.
That's a coaching record in men's basketball that seems near-impossible to break at this point and for the centuries to come. UCLA has 17 wins over No. The Bruins won a championship in under Jim Harrick and made three straight Final Fours -- a rare feat in the post-Wooden epoch -- from under Ben Howland.
This season, UCLA might prove to be the best team in the Pac again, doing so after rallying in its first season under Mick Cronin to tie for the conference championship. Flashing back, though, it does start with the Wizard of Westwood. UCLA was nothing before he arrived, and then it created the greatest dynasty in college basketball history. Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton might be the two best players ever in college hoops -- and they were separated by three years at UCLA, back when freshmen were not eligible.
Wooden won games and coached from His image and impression were so daunting, UCLA became viewed as an underachiever in the near-two decades after his retirement, even though the Bruins frequently made the NCAA Tournament and all its coaches were easily above.
Wooden didn't alter the dynamic, he was the dynamic. I've made sure to list each team's consensus All-Americans since in every capsule of this ranking, but we're reaching the point where these top teams have close to or more than 20 guys. All consensus A-As. When Mike Krzyzewski took the Duke job in , at the age of 33, he was coming from his alma mater, Army , and there were no visions of conference dominance.
In fact, Krzyzewski was on the hot seat three seasons in and some fans wanted him out, but then-athletic director Tom Butters stuck with his coach. That act of patience from an AD wasn't uncommon in , but in modern times it's easy to see how it could have gone differently. Thankfully for Duke and Kryzyzewski the decision to stay the course resulted in what could be argued is the greatest coaching career in men's college basketball history. Before Krzyzewski, Duke had its share of good times, though.
Its best coach was Vic Bubas , who was in charge from Duke was a good ACC program. Under Coach K, it's a platinum college basketball power. To date Duke has 29 wins over No. It has wins over ranked opponents and its 1, wins are third most since Krzyzewski's won 1, games at Duke and been to the Big Dance all but four seasons of his career.
His five titles trail only Wooden's 10 NCAA championships -- but he's thrived when getting to the Final Four has been tougher, the sport's talent pool is more spread out than ever and the competition remains cutthroat. That's an amazing run. Duke's had 80 players go in the top 60 picks and exactly overall in NBA history. Duke is the biggest program in college basketball because it draws the most emotion from the sport's fans. Lots of love, lots of hate, but no larger TV draw than the school with four letters led by a man referred to with just one: K.
Take it, Carolina fans. Your team beat Duke by points. This is college basketball royalty in its most elegant form. It's fair to say that between Dean Smith and Roy Williams -- who have combined for six tournament titles and 1, career wins -- no program has a better of coaches than UNC.
The next championship didn't happen until a guy named Jordan hit a shot with 17 seconds to go against Georgetown in ' Smith was the conscience of college basketball for more than three decades, and since his passing in , Smith's reputation has only swelled due to his humanitarianism and fight for racial equality years before those things were discussed and consistently fought for inside and outside the world of sports.
