It's IMPOSSIBLE to compare 1960's teams with this 2015 Kentucky team.

If they finish undefeated, there is no doubt they are one of the best teams ever, but it's not possible to say any team is the hands-down best-ever.

I think all of the starting 5 on that team went on to the NBA. Similar to Ky. In those days a lot of great teams had 1 or 2 superstars and some role players who never made it to the NBA.

Agreed... Different eras.....

Ok. But there are teams that have had a loss or two during the reg season that are just as good or better than this UK team......

Unpopular pick it seems but I'd take this UK team over any team I've ever seen. Granted I'm young. Would certainly take them over 06-07 Florida.

The reason this UK team could or maybe would beat 91 UNLV is size

UNLV wasn't a really big team. They were bigger the year before with Butler and allowing Curry and Ackles come off the bench.

Hunt and Anthony would struggle with the UK guards.

Now can UK figure out the 1-1-3 when Vegas went to it? Nobody could it seemed.

Augmon would be the key, can he be physical and match up with Lyles or Towns.

Kentucky hasn't even won a championship yet. How can they be the greatest team of all time without a banner?

No.

In the era before perennial "one and done" players the UNLV Runnin Rebels had the one of te most stacked rosters in 90-91. I would also take any of the teams you listed above this current UK team with the exception of the UCLA team.

Massive fail for not including 1996 Kentucky among the GOAT level teams. They're the best championship team in the last 30 years and may be the best of all-time.

UCLA in the 70s, and UNLV and Duke in the early 90s would be able to handle this KY team. With that said, I agree with SVP and Russillo that this KY team is one of the most physically imposing teams with that front line. I would love to see what it would be like if the KY teams would stay 4 years. That would be crazy.

The greatest team of all time does not sneak out of the P-Mac with a 2 pt victory.

Sorry, but it's the truth.
