Yeah next to the Fab Five Michigan Team on the all-corrupt list...

I would take my chances with Walton's UCLA boys...I think Walton's back up was Sven Nater...who in his own right was a good player. but who could not get playing time on that team.

Anyone think the winner of this year's match would make far up the All-Time list?

If its Florida, I think they have a good shot, especially with the way they tore through the SEC tourney.

Will back to back title make it more impressive?...Are some of the great UCLA teams on the list because of their streak of titles?

[rear view]

as a long time college basketball fan it amazes me that whenever all time best teams are discussed, the 1970 and 71 ucla teams are always overlooked. these teams also won back to back titles with the core group of sid wicks and curtis rowe (arguably the best pair of forwards to ever team together) steve patterson a center you could not ignore or he would burn you and henry bibby a quick heady point guard. from 1970 john vallely a good scoring guard. and from 71 ken booker and terry schofield two solid roll players. basic stats 1970 28-2 record , 92 points per game.average scoring margin, 19 pts per ..all 5 starters averaged in double figures. 1971 83 pts/gm scoring margin 15 pts/gm...29-1 record. they were sandwiched between the alcindor years and the walton gang but certainly deserve to be recognized for their own identity and accomplishments.and i would not be afraid to pit this group against the 06 or o7 gators.

How about the fact that these Gators had 3 of the first 10 picks in yesterday's NBA Draft, and five overall? That's got to count for something.

I think that '96 Kentucky team is a bit high.

Impressive...but I would take my chances with Walton and UCLA...wasn't Sven Nater (a really good player In his own right who once led the ABA in rebounds) on the bench in UCLA cause he could not play do to Big Bill?...Now that's a team...a starting NBA center on your bench cause the guy playing is Bill Walton.

The 1972 UCLA Bruins are #1 in my opinion. They would have wiped the floor with the '76 Hoosiers.

Yep...no doubt...that 76 team was not all that impressive.

1996 Kentucky team is #1. 21 point average victory margin speaks for itself (highest in tourney history) and nine of those guys went on to the NBA

Impressive indeed...still, I would take UCLA of the early 70's over them.
