Quick Thoughts on the Top 50 NCAA Teams List I Posted Earlier

10. Georgetown ’85 - not sure why you’d pick the team with an iconic loss over the year before when they mauled the best team never to win a title?

9. San Francisco ’56 – Undefeated, Bill Russell, repeat champs, sure.

8. UNLV '91 – why this team which lost to Duke and not the year before when they obliterated Duke? And were the exact same team?

7. Kentucky ’12 – Rode Anthony Davis to the title but is this really the 7th-greatest team of all time? Is it even better than their ’96 team?

6. UCLA ’67 – to be honest all these UCLA teams blend together for me, tough to argue one way or the other.

5. NC State ’74 – great team, won the greatest game of all time and ended the UCLA dynasty, and David Thompson. Not sure they should be this high but okay.

4. UNC ’82 – does this get some Jordan NBA Lift Effect? Should they really be this high when it took one of the greatest gaffes of all time to beat Georgetown?

3. Duke ’92 – no complaints, pretty much the ’91 team, which you could say belongs here, but with another year of experience.

2. Indiana ’76 – can’t argue with 32-0, though I kinda turn my nose up at plodding Big 10 teams. UPDATE: I stand corrected, they averaged 82.1ppg.

1. UCLA ’72 – see my above note about UCLA; I’ve always been told the absolute best UCLA team was ’68, who only show up at #16 on this list.
