I'll play you in knockout game, how bow dat?
Since when is Texas and UT been "good schools"? Sure they have competitive programs. But Texas has been to three Final Fours; 1943, 1947 and 2003. They had been in 7 regional finals----Three of those came under Barnes. Three of the other four came in 39, 43 and 47. Barnes is also responsible for half of their SW 16 appearances(5/10). He took UT to 11 NCAAT. Its not like he was a traditional, basketball power. He was at Texas. And really, took them to heights they really had not seen.
UT....No Final FOurs. One Elite 8. I mean, that ain't a place you'd expect basketball glory.
I agree TX and UT are good, basketball schools. Just not the type of schools that I think meet the type of criteria being placed.
Original poster did not say UK was going undefeated from this point forward. Now when we do or don’t win the title I can see this thread brought back up.
We have a guy over on the Duke board who makes crazy look pretty sane. He has a similarly-appropriate name.
So....Kentucky's titles in the 40s/50s make Calipari more likely to win the title in 2019 than Bill Self?
I would say the better team in 2019 is more likely to win the national title, but some apparently don't subscribe to this logic.
Of course....some team like Northern Iowa tends to spoil things annually for KU in March.
Didn't say otherwise.... We're a work in progress, heading in the right direction, but a ways to go yet.
This is a bad take Borden. I agree that UT and UM are 6 of the national title contenders right now along with Duke, Gonzaga, UVA and KU but you literally can't argue that Duke isn't the best team by a decent margin.
Could some of those schools pull the upset in March and win it all? Sure, but this thing is Duke's to lose this year unlike in years past where no team clearly separated itself in the regular season.
When Kentucky beats Kansas and Tennessee in the next two months, will you add them to your list?
I think duke is better than Michigan but you don’t think Michigan has an argument?
They have an argument as worst football bowl loss this year.

Edited. Look again. Here's to this year's "Wisconsin" somewhere out there for Duke.
Gonzaga, without Tille, disagree's. And UT beat that Gonzaga team. I don't know how you can say this??? I know----the transitive property is a weak argument. But head to head is not. SO how you can say "Duke is the best team, by a decent margin, is beyond me.
Ok. That wasn't the point. Two weeks ago, some of BBN was ready to run half the team, AND Cal, right out of Lexington. UK then beats UNC and UL, and suddenly becomes natty title winners. Not contenders.....Winners. So..............when UK loses again..or has a skid.....This thread will certainly resurface. It will do so, because some of BBN will again be ready to run Cal out of town.
That is why is said what I did......And when UK loses....It will happen. Especially if you go to Bama, and lose.
Kansas beat Tennessee. Arizona State beat Kansas. Princeton beat Arizona State. Duke beat Princeton.
PROOF that Duke is indeed the best team in the nation this year.
Good post. Duke may be the most talented, and most of our fans feel if we are on, we may be the toughest out. The two teams that most concern me the most are Gonzaga and Kansas. I think the Zags will be much better once Tillie gets back and in form. Kansas for their bigs. They still play more of a conventional college style, with rim protection and good low post players. Foul trouble would be what scares me against either because Bolden is still a mystery.
Not to mention Self has done pretty well against Duke lately. That hurt to admit.
...Bama blows this year. UK isn't losing there.
Oh I agree. When Duke is on, I'm not sure anyone can beat them. Hell, even "not on", you guys are gonna be tough as shit. Very, very good. Just thought it was a bit overboard to call Duke the best team, and by a decent margin.
At least he's somewhat in the present not that makes him any less than Zipp. Love Zipp's graphs lol.
