Michigan State Basketball: Sixth-Most NCAAT Wins of All-Time
In college basketball, we have a few blue blood programs, and Michigan State has always been knocking on the door of that particular label.
Throughout the years' schools including Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, and UCLA, have all been mentioned using the term "blue blood."
Those universities happen to be in the top-5 for the most NCAA Tournament wins of all-time.

Michigan State owns the sixth-most victories with 69.
The Spartans' all-time record is 1752-1102 (61.4%), they have been crowned champions twice (1979, 2000), been to ten Final Fours, appeared in 33 NCAA Tournaments and 22 straight, which is the fourth-longest streak ever.
It’s also the third-longest active streak in college basketball today, only behind Kansas and Duke.
MSU fans can thank Tom Izzo for the majority of those accomplishments, but is it enough? Some people believe Izzo needs to capture the elusive second-title. Others think the more he coaches, the more he adds to an already impressive legacy.
