The best NCAAB men's champ ever

I have to vote for '96 UK if I only get one. But, in the past 10 years or so, I'll take '07 UF over everybody.

96 UK - Best team I've ever seen. Ridiculous talent and depth at every position.

91 UNLV - They were better than the 90 team who won it all....I'm sure they got paid well for throwing the Duke game.

07 UF - Yes, I'm biased. But chances are at no point in my lifetime will I ever witness back-to-back national titles again. That team had no weaknesses offensively and everyone played their role to perfection.

I can't vote for a team before my time. It's hard to compare more-recent teams to teams that I have never seen play, with the exception of ESPN's 30-minute Final Four highlights shows.

UNLV - they simply played with people. If they weren't headcases they would have been back to back with no problem.

Very true.....hard to argue with a 37-3 record though

This does not make much sense. You admit that no one considers UT 1998 team as one of the best champs, yet you say it is hard to argue against KU and their 37-3 record. UT was 13-0.

By your logic, the following teams would be better than that KU squad:

1999: UConn
1996: UK
1995: UCLA

etc., etc.

That KU team was good; they were not close to the best ever, though.

If you read the post above mine, maybe you'd know what was going on. He said no one considers UT 1998 to be one of the best, I was agreeing with that statement. A+ for effort though. And I would also consider '96 Kensucky to be one of the best ever

1. UNLV 1990
2. Kentucky 1996

The Alcindor teams were way before my time, but I imagine they'd hold their own.

They didn't win the title but I always thought the Phi Slamma Jamma Houston team that lost to NC State at the buzzer was one of the best.

I'm all for retroactively awarding the 1983 NCAA championship to that Phi Slamma Jamma team. We can just call the epic "Phi Slamma Jamma vs. Doctors of Dunk" semifinal game the de facto national championship game...and pretend the final didn't happen. Houston had nothing left in the tank after the track meet that was the semifinal game.

Here is an excellent piece on that game: ESPN.com - E-ticket: Jamfest For The Ages

Read it. Seriously...it's really really good.

You can award it, but I watched every game NC State played that in the tournament that year and they were amazing. I think they were down 6 with ten seconds to go in the first round.

I guess I just like underdogs.

Oh, and my dad went to NC State.

Um, we were going to have it this year if not for a freak toe injury.

Going to OT with Pepperdine is a good thing?

Had Guy Lewis not gone full retard, they beat NCSt by 20 and are in the conversation.

I love the "shoulda coulda woulda" crowd.

I would have been a great neurosurgeon had I bothered to go to medical school.

See, I can do it too.
