I was thinking more of teams beyond 1997 that should be included as one of the best 16 teams ever. It's crazy that a list of the best teams ever does not include a single team in the past 15 year. Especially one that won back to back titles.

2001 Duke was pretty great as well. They beat a Maryland team that would win the title next year, only the 01 team had Steve Francis on it (I think, I don't wanna check).

I'm not surprised they don't have a recent teams and you are one that agrees with me that the quality of CBB has declined. But even in the last 15 years, I don't see Florida as the best team. Frankly the best team since 96 UK was 99 Duke, but they lost to UConn. 99 Duke and 91 UNLV are easily the 2 best teams that didn't win it all.

And Francis was not on the 01 Md team, he was drafted in 99.

UF was unreal as a unit. They didn't have a roster filled with NBA superstars, but those top 6 guys coming back for their senior year was pretty unreal.

I wouldn't bet against them in many games against other top teams other than ridiculous UCLA teams.

Francis was long gone by then. He left after one year in '99. The '01 Terps team had Blake, Dixon, Mouton, Wilcox and Baxter with Nicholas coming off the bench.
