Which NCAA XC/TF program would be most dominant in a pickup basketball game?

Arkansas-pine bluff

I went to the UConn Multi-Event challenge last week. Craziest thing I'd ever seen. Some small guy Eric van Der Els (3:41ish 1500 and Pan ams champion) literally windmill dunked on top of a tall handsome blonde guy. Have to say it was the most impressive handles I've ever seen from a distance runner. If he whips his teammates into shape, no reason they can't beat their women's team

The GOAT of NCAA basketball skill was Justyn Knight... now that he's graduated Syracuse has no one who can truly ball. Would love to see a Knight vs. Fisher pickup game to 21 followed by a 5k on the track.

Don't even try saying that Justyn Knight can be compared with Centro. Anybody willing to race a mile in Jordan's could scrape anyone in NCAA history

Top 10 Div 1 X-Country Men's teams at pick-up basketball:

5. Bryant

6. Pepperdine

7. College of Charleston

8. Arizona

9. Fairfield

10. VMI

Kipchoge would Euro step the f**k out of Ches and windmill dunk over McDonald

Past competitor of van der Els in high school. I saw him play at footlocker his senior year, the kid crossed up drew hunter so bad, he decided not to go run at a collegiate level since he wanted to prolong the amount of time until their next encounter. The kid dunked for the first time during 8th grade. Currently standing at 5'7" and a whopping 130 pounds, the kid could probably shammgod tf out of grant fisher and break four minutes at the same time

Michigan of course! Why? Cause we so fat nobody could stop us.

Cooper Williams be coming in trucking all in his path and dunking over their dazed heads. After defeating all comers, Ben Veatch comes on and Cooper finally gets his revenge.

Rumor has it that UMaine has a basketball hoop in their team shower. Hopefully they are better at basketball than running...

With the indoor season coming up, midwest and northeast teams are going to gain a serious advantage. Due to the inability to consistently run outside due to weather, my team will be doing half our mileage in the pool, half our mileage on the court

I think runners playing basketball is infinitely more fun than watching people who actually know how to play. Which specific NCAA athletes would you pay more money to watch in a pickup game than to see the same old Zion Williamson dusting a bunch of scrubs? Bailey Roth versus Rory Linkletter? Vincent Kiprop versus Alex Ostberg? I think there's a lot of potential to discuss where the best dynasty of distance-runners may be.

Youtube is chock full of Mormon missionaries balling out on inner city youths. BYU gets my vote.

Biathlon for running. Lap on the track, shoot a 3 point shot, miss run an extra lap penalty (could be full 200 or shorter loop).

Duke men's xc team parties with bball a lot (only team that gets a regular invite). I'd pick them

Any SEC sprint/jump squad would crush every school listed.

I'd go with KSU jump squad for the title

colorado pulled up in them icy arm sleeves to ncaa's, their 3 point range gotta be tier 1

My team's go to tuneup workout is full-court layup lines for 20-25 minutes followed by 3 games of elimination knockout. Works like a charm.

BYU for sure. They have their church ball leagues growing up. Then they go on their two year missions. A lot of speculation on here that they go train for running during those missions but the reality is that they are just playing basketball so they can prepare for when this NCAA XC basketball tournament is organized.
