Think you have to consider 2014-15 Wisconsin.


Don't care about the downvotes on my first post, but I would assume this means people disagree. Play with me on this one.

- The 36-4 record wasn't a flash in the pan. They were returning everyone from a team coming off 30 wins and a Final Four appearance.

- They beat three of the better CBB programs, one of which was being talked about as the "greatest team" of all-time, in back-to-back-to-back NCAAT games.

- Their AdjO (129.0) is the best in the KenPom era, which spans 17 years. It took until this year's Villanova for a team to have an AdjO that eclipsed 126.1.

- Only this year's Villanova had a higher points/possession in the last 20 years.

If we're answering best teams to not win a Championship in the last 20 years, WIsconsin has a pretty good claim to be part of that group. That's difficult to debate.

I think Wisconsin got screwed by officiating in that championship game against Duke.

But Wisconsin had no business with their over the top celebrating (fueled by the fans) after the semi-final win over UK. I knew that night with all the celebrating going on that they might have difficulty revving up for the championship game.
