Top 10 college basketball teams of the last 25 years
In my opinion, which is a very educated and good one. I am not even putting in my beloved 1995 & 2004 Oklahoma State teams (although they were badass).
10. Florida 2006— Very impressive run in the tournament. Dominant, and never really in doubt. Time might change their position. Time will hopefully also make that Noah kid look human.
9. UNC 2005— dominant team all season long. No weaknesses, no problem with the tourney. And they were able to keep Sean Maye away from Dunkin Donuts JUST enough. Well played Roy Williams.
8. UNLV 1991— as athletic of a team as there ever was. Fast, quick, good shooters, good everything. Too bad they thought they could just coast through the tourney, Duke exacted revenge for the previous year's beating in the final. Overconfident asses, but talented as hell.
7. Houston 1983— Yes, NC State's win was dramatic and incredible, but the best team in the land lost that day. Houston would have won that game 99 times out of a hundred.
6. UConn 2004— Very dominant, no answer for Okafur and Ben Gordon. But damn I wish I could have seen OSU play them in the final. You suck Will Bynum.
5. Duke 1992— again a dominant team, and one that I hated. Classic in the elite eight with UK. The best part was when Thomas Hill of Duke came out of the closet when Laettner hit the game winner. He was crying like Publisher's Clearinghouse just showed up at his house.
4. UNC 1982— Jordan and Worthy, very good team that beat a damn good Georgetown team in the finals.
3. UNLV 1990— I would switch this with the '91 team were it not that one won the title, one didn't. And it didn't hurt their position that they won the title game by 30 FREAKING POINTS.
2. Georgetown 1985— Patrick Ewing was dominant, stupid knee pads and all, and the best team in the land (debatable)for 3 years running finally won the title.
1. Kentucky 1996— Maybe the most dominant team on the list, certainly the best. Nine guys on that team played in the league. Nine.
* Derek Anderson
* Tony Delk
* Walter McCarty
* Ron Mercer
* Nazr Mohammed
* Mark Pope
* Jeff Sheppard
* Wayne Turner
* Antoine Walker
And on that note I do have to give my OSU 2004 team credit, as they have 5 guys from that team in the league right now. Which pales in comparison to the '96 UK squad but is impressive nonetheless.
* Tony Allen
* John Lucas III
* Joey Graham
* Stephen Graham
* Ivan Mcfarlin
