I mean I think both Kentucky teams would win a series against 08 Kansas. But I’m not betting on it or anything.
Best team to never make it to final 4 and beyond. 2010 Kentucky
- Thread starter Big ol arms
- Start date
It’s hard to take a man seriously who also believes he could kill a wolf with his bare hands.
Because they would have the best player on the court regardless of who they played for starters.
I mean Patterson, wall, cousins, and Bledsoe were on nba rosters less than a year later, let’s not talk about this like it was their 8th grade year in middle school. And actually I’m sure a couple were “pros” right after the game, as far as getting agents/loans/etc
Just to make sure the Purdue broken record is accounted for in this thread:
2010 Purdue (pre-Hummel ACL tear) probably should be in the top 10-15 discussion for this topic. Not a bunch of top-line NBA talent, but a really great, experienced college team.
Were 24-3 (12-3)
G - E'Twaun Moore (2-time 1st team All-B1G, 2-time 2nd team)
G - Keaton Grant
G - Chris Kramer (2-time B1G DPOY)
F - Robbie Hummel (3-time 1st team All-B1G, 1-time 3rd team)
C - JaJuan Johnson (1st team AA, B1G POY, B1G DPOY, 2-time 1st team All-B1G)
There was a PITT team with Blair that was really, really good. 1 seed maybe can't remember who beat them maybe Butler.
EDIT: Blair not on the team I was thinking about 2011. Wannamaker I think was their guy.

1983-84 UNC was the best team to not win the championship.
They had 9 McDonalds AA on the roster.
Michael Jordan
Sam Perkins
Kenny Smith
Brad Daughtery
Joe Wolf
Matt Doherty
Dave Popson
Buzz Peterson
Curtis Hunter
Kenny Smith injury during the season really hurt the team & they never recovered from it.

That was a very, very good team. Not 2012 Indiana good. But , nonetheless, very good.Winking
Oh ok, because they declared for the draft that means they had already had months and years of NBA coaching and everything else...gotcha! Some of you people and your UK hate makes you look really bad.
I recall that team....Seems they ran into a buzzsaw in the SW 16 that year.....
No, they ran into Indiana.WinkingI recall that team....Seems they ran into a buzzsaw in the SW 16 that year.....
Honestly, it seems like IU owns UNC throughout history.
I'll add that at the time Hummel got hurt, Purdue had won 10 straight, including wins over #16 Wisconsin, @ #10 MSU and @ #9 OSU.

Very common topic on this board. 2010 what if’s I mean.
Kentucky
Purdue
Syracuse
All of you get in line behind the overall #1 seed, pre-tournament #1 KenPom rated and 32-2 Kansas Jayhawks.
2018 UVA is a pretty good choice as well. We were 31-2 heading into the NCAA tourney and the #1 overall seed, despite DeAndre Hunter getting injured. The NCAA conspired against us that year.
We went 17-1 in the ACCeek and won the ACC tournament. It's not like the ACC was some slouch getting 8 teams in the NCAAs.

You need to wait for the thread---"best team to never get out of the 1st round...."2018 UVA is a pretty good choice as well. We were 31-2 heading into the NCAA tourney and the #1 overall seed, despite DeAndre Hunter getting injured. The NCAA conspired against us that year.

Know your role...
You were the one that posted they weren’t pros at the time, when the fact is they were good enough to be pros at the time bc they got drafted a few months later. Why would they need years of nba coaching when they had the great developer for 6 months.
Because 6 months isn’t long enough. When they’re in college they have class and everything else. When they are pros they wake up and can go to the gym all day. It’s just different! Look at Jordan, really good college player but look what happen when he got to the NBA and could work on his game all day every day!

I've "Liked" an IU fan's post 3 times in this thread so far.
Indiana, Louisville and Kentucky fans on here like to pretend like they have the most hatred but generally they all suck each other’s dicks when topics come up about other programs and where they stand in relation to those 3.
Really? Okey dokey dude, whatever you say, although I was just having a little fun while sitting at work.
Fwiw, IU is, BY FAR, my most hated team, with UL second.
Heh. I believe you. My research is limited to just their fans on this board and it really isn't even research. Just an observation.
Gotcha. I don't venture over to this board all that often so you would know the regulars better than I.Heh. I believe you. My research is limited to just their fans on this board and it really isn't even research. Just an observation.
IU FANBORDEN seems like a good dude.....for an IU fan that is.
I’ll give this a like because you used a UNC player as an example of a player that couldn’t work on his game because of class.
I was talking about DeAndre Jordan! Somebody’s feeling guilty about some fake classes!
Didnt read it all but I would add 2006 Uconn. Team was loaded with good college talent and terrible chemistry. And of course stupid GM made their run. F those guys.
I would respond but the big bad rivals mall cops might get upset.I was talking about DeAndre Jordan! Somebody’s feeling guilty about some fake classes!
You should get tested for Coronavirus with those sniffles.
Considering I got kicked out of a thread for stating my opinion, even including my favorite team in that opinion, means someone got butt hurt.
Nope. I got tired of your trolling and banned you from that thread. Get over it.
You should be grateful for the leeway they're giving you IMO.
Regroup,rethink priorities and come back. You clearly know UK basketball and can talk basketball with all of us. Make jokes, have fun, you're smart aren't you?
I'd suck as a mod.
