That nova team with Brunson, divicenzo, spellman, paschal, bridges. Won every game in the tourney by double digits.

Not sure if the best but that 1990 UNLV team was pretty stout

The Duke-Arizona final is 2001 was an incredible collection of talent in hindsight.

The 1984-85 St. John's team won the Big East, but didn't win the championship. Villanova did.

Maybe not the best, but the Big East was fun to watch that year. Three final 4 teams.

St. John's had 4 first-round NBA players on that team.

2009 UNC.

Ty Lawson
Wayne Ellington
Danny Green
Deon Thompson
Tyler Hansbrough

Smoked every team they played in the tournament. LSU in the 2nd round was probably the closest game they played and it ended up being something like a 15 point game.

The final against MSU was over after 5 minutes.

Two ways to answer this question - best team in college or best team that had assembled amazing future NBA talent

The Villanova team mentioned had one of the most impressive runs even in the tournament but doesn't hold up to the NBA talent in some of the 90s-00s champions or even Final Four teams

Baylor last year destroyed everyone
UNC the year LSU gave them a game, 2005 UNC are other good ones

I’m 40 and too young to remember the unlv teams, so for me the easy choice is 95-96 Kentucky.

Second best would either be the Duke team that beat Arizona in the final or 2005 North Carolina.

The Duke squad that lost to uconn in 99 was stacked also.

There’s also the 97 unc team led by Jamison and Vince carter. I remember them absolutely toying with Duke that year (up big, let Duke come back, then run away again). From what I recall, they had zero depth and they ran into a red hot Arizona team.

1999 Duke. They lost two games by two and three points each, respectively. They won 37 games and only three of those wins were decided by less than 10 points. Just an absurdly dominant team.

The '96 Kentucky team that beat John Wallace and the 'Cuse for the NCAA championship had nine NBA players on the roster.

1972 Bruins. By a mile.
Margin of Victory that year was more than 30 points.
Undefeated... back end of the dynasty, which is essentially where they peaked with Walton.

I'd put Kentucky from 1996 next on the list.
9 players made the NBA.
