Kentucky 1996 should be on there.

 

[tbonezone]

running rebs.

1990's average margin of victory 29 points.

 

[NineOneSeven]

The Kentucky team that lost to Wisconsin was also damn good

They’re on it

Highest rated team in the KenPom era

 

[SouthernCuse]

Would have liked to see David Thompson (NCST) play in college, before my time.

40 and ohhhh no!

Hmmm, they chose the '85 Georgetown team that lost the NC game instead of the '84 team that won it.

Just imagine, if Thompson had told Ewing to goaltend one less shot in '82, maybe they win that one too and keep '82 UNC off this list.

I would have the 1996 Kentucky team on the list, as well as the 1999 Duke team that lost to UConn which is by far the best Duke team ever per SRS.

 

[NKR1978]

1996 Kentucky and 1990 UNLV should be on that list. And as much as it hurts, 04 UConn.

Uconn? Two really good players and a bunch of role players. They lost I think 6 games that year. Hardly an all time great team

They had 6 NBA players on that team.

Rudy Gay, best role player of all time?

 

[nyucuse]

Name the three starters next to Gordon and Okafor. They were average college players. Let's cut the hyperbole of all time great teams. Ridiculous.

You could have multiple versions of the UCLA squads from the late 60s and early 70s.

Gay actually wasn't on the 2004 team, he came in the following year.

You may be thinking of Villaneuva who was a "role" player on that team but played a decade in the NBA.

I had forgotten about that Majerus clip. I pulled it up on youtube just now. Steve Lavin couldn't hold in his laugh.

how have i never seen this. thats a classic.

 

[CorduroyG]

‘91 unlv is the best team i ever saw. too bad they lost to puke, otherwise would have gone undefeated.

 

[OrangeOnions]

Used to love when Majerus said O-ffense.

 

[Knicks411]

I was just going back and reading some old stuff from prior to the 90-91 season (NERD ALERT)

Anyway, I either A)didnt know or B) knew and forgot that initially the 91 UNLV team was going to have Ed'Obannon and Shon Tarver; but when it looked like UNLV wasn't going to be eligible for the tournament they ended up going to UCLA.

O'Bannon got hurt and redshirted, and Tarver was a bit player for UCLA that year (about 19 MPG) and th UNLV team was loaded of course, but I wonder how much better they are with those 2. (For sake of the argument O'Bannon doesn't get hurt at UNLV, why not, we're all friends here)

Lol those guys were drafted #2 and #3 overall that year. Of course everyone else is going to be a role player. Clearly was their best team.

That does not make them an all time top 10 team. It's a ridiculous argument. Tell me are Denham Brown etc star players if they are not playing with Gordon and Okafor? Not even close. They were role players because that was their max ability.

A very good team yes. Lost 6 games. Hardly great. Not close to a top 10 ALL TIME team. It's not even worth debate. SU has had more talented teams, just didn't win it all.
