April 4, 201214 yr Good question. Teams I'd take before them... UNLV 90 & 91 Duke 91, 92 & 01 Florida 04 & 05(are these the right years?). That's probably it as for teams I would take before this team so I'd take UK 12 over... Fab Five 92 & 93 UK 96, 97, 98, 10 & 11 All the good Arkansas teams UNC 93, and the Roy's 2 champs All of the UConn and Michigan State champs Duke 99 and 10 I do think all of these games would be great matchups and these are strictly my opinion.
April 4, 201214 yr Author Florida was 2006 and 2007. I agree on the UNLV and Duke teams. Those were the elite of the elite. It's these 2 FL teams I'm debating. I can't decide which to take.
April 4, 201214 yr Good question. Florida 04 & 05(are these the right years?). 2006 & 2007; 2004 was that dreadful Connecticut/Ga Tech final and 2005 was UNC over Illinois.
April 4, 201214 yr I would not take 12 over 96. The 96 team was loaded and deep. Teague> Epps Delk>Lamb MKG>Mercer Jones=Walker(due to the fact that Walker was allergic to defense) and the deal breaker for me............ Davis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pope And who is coming off the bench for 96? Davis and Jones>>>>>>>>>>>>>Prickett Miller>>>>>>>>>than the guys I can't remember coming off of the bench. That's all I am saying.
April 4, 201214 yr The 96 team was a great team but I think people get lost in the fact that it had a bunch of pro players on the team which boosts its prestige but when you break down the matchups in college career aspect I think 2012 has the nod even with 96's deep bench. Jared Prickett, Scott Padgett and Jeff Sheppard wouldn't hurt this 2012 team, IMO.
April 4, 201214 yr 2006 & 2007; 2004 was that dreadful Connecticut/Ga Tech final and 2005 was UNC over Illinois. :lol: That is dreadful. I didn't even remember it was UConn/GaTech. Was Bosh on that team?

You take 7 teams ahead of 96 UK? I dismiss anything else in the post based on that. Especially with the 3 Duke teams homer pick.

That's all I am saying. Walter McCarty was a starter on that team, Mercer was off the bench if I'm not mistaken...
April 4, 201214 yr Author :lol: That is dreadful. I didn't even remember it was UConn/GaTech. Was Bosh on that team? No. Will Bynum, Jarret Jack, BJ Elder...
April 4, 201214 yr You take 7 teams ahead of 96 UK? I dismiss anything else in the post based on that. Especially with the 3 Duke teams homer pick. I'm not ranking the 96 team. I ranked the 2012 team. I didn't put anything in ranks. The 01 Duke team is the only questionble homer pick I made, IMO, because that is probably my all time favorite team. With an open minded individual I think I could make a great case for the Duke 01 team to be better than UK 12 but seeing as how you can't acknowledge 91 and 92 Duke teams I know you aren't that person. :lol:
April 4, 201214 yr Walter McCarty was a starter on that team, Mercer was off the bench if I'm not mistaken... Okay.... MKG>McCarty Miller=Mercer I still feel 2012 is better than 1996. I have been told the 1996 celebration was better than the 2012 celebration though. And that's from people who were at both. :lol:
April 4, 201214 yr No. Will Bynum, Jarret Jack, BJ Elder... Don't forget the Giant Ginger from Down Under, Luke Schenscher.
April 4, 201214 yr Top 5 1996 UK 1990 UNLV Fab Five Duke 1992 This group should fit in somewhere with those. I realize Fab Five didn't win one but was a team that changed basketball. For the purists who say you have to win one to be considered then maybe replace them with another Duke team from the era (2001?)
