I'm sure this has been done before, but me and my buddy are procrastinating at school and starting talking about this. The first ones that came to mind were UNC and UCLA so we put together the following starting lineups:

UCLA (was pretty flexible with actual positions)
PG: Russell Westbrook
SG: Reggie Miller
SF: Kevin Love
PF: Bill Walton
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

UNC
PG: Kenny Smith
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Vince Carter
PF: James Worthy
C: Bob McAdoo

LSU
PG: Pete Maravich
SG: Chris Jackson
SF: Rudy Macklin
PF: Bob Pettit
C: Shaq

What you got? Either fix our starting lineups or give some good ones from other schools. I'm sure schools like Kentucky and Duke have some pretty awesome ones.

You posted this and didn't even include LSU? That's weak.

Good point, like I said, I threw the list together really quick and kinda as an after thought. And I also love MT.

Ha, we did do LSU, but that's not gonna be a top one.


LSU's all time roster is rivaled only by UCLA and UNC. You need to learn a little history. Thornton over Chris Jackson?

Trust me, I know my history, I know how good those players were. But I still think some other schools could throw up some better ones. And Thornton over CJ was a mental blunder. My bad there.

This is a few years old, but you need to read it.

The Cajuns would dominate so hard with Bo Lamar and Andrew Toney going HAM.

I'm not even going to go that far back.

C-Anthony Davis
F-Demarcus Cousins
F-Juluis Randle
G-Jamal Mashburn(I went a little further)
G-John Wall

So if we go all time. We are pretty good.

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I just think that we put NBA careers and overall greatness into our list a little more than strictly collegiate performance. So you might actually be right - My history of collegiate basketball is not nearly as strong as my NBA knowledge. I guess it shows because I put Westbrook at point for UCLA and he didn't actually do that much in college. That Georgetown team is AMAZING at #4 tho.

You'd have to get Cal to coach them because Rupp wouldn't be down with the tone of that team.

I knew LSU's starting 5 was pretty badass...I guess I just expected some of the other schools to have better ones.

This has been discussed multiple times.

LSU would be close to unbeatable, rivaled by only UCLA and UNC.

Other good ones would be Houston, Kentucky, Michigan St, and Maryland.

My bad. I hate to be "that guy". We were just discussing it and figured I'd get some input from y'all.
