Best Teams to NOT win the NCAA Title

Best teams that failed to win NCAA title

 

 

 

 

Interesting thoughts on their selections. Did not expect the '66 Rupps Runts to be listed but hey. Anyone think some team was left out or some should not be on the list? :idunno:

Pretty good list if you ask me.

 

I think Kentucky 1992-93 was better than Michigan & the best Kentucky team in my lifetime to not win the tournament.

 

1990-91 UNLV was the first team that came to mind.

For me the best 3 I have always argued for was:

 

1. 1975 Indiana

2. 1991 UNLV

3. 1985 Georgetown

 

Those three were just loaded with talent, impressive regular season domination and then it took perfect circumstances to bring them down.

Houston 1983... Great 30 for 30 show if you haven't seen it.

Add Houston 1983 to the list of 3 above

You could also throw Kentucky 1984 to the list. That front court was loaded.

[PurplePride92]

1991 UNLV.

 

2002 Duke.

 

2011 Duke.

 

2010 UK.

 

Those come to mind immediately.

 

 

 

 

1997 UK.

Houston 1983 was the first team to came to my mind, but that is in large part because of the 30 f0r 30 this week.

[DragonFire]

1991 UNLV & 1975 Indiana by far.

[RockPride]

1991 UNLV, 1975 Indiana, 1999 Duke

I'm not being a duke hater but I don't think they are in the same category with 75 Indiana, 91 UNLV, 83 Houston, or 85 Georgetown.

Actually didn't see the 99 team in that post. Was talking 02 and 11.

 

99 was sold but I would have them below those other 4 mentioned. 02 and 11 were good teams but not even close to thos teams.

[swamprat]

The 1953-54 (25-0) Kentucky Wildcats need to be on that list.

Still shocked that they lost. 1990 UNLV & 1996 Kentucky are the best of the 90's. 1999 Duke would be up there with them if they win it.
