#1, #3, and #10 picks in tonight’s draft with one of the top 3 College coaches ever.

They had four of the top 14 picks in the 1999 Draft and didn't win a championship that year either.

They had talent but not cohesiveness or experience. Still a lot to the game.

Because #3 and #10 were pretty much dog shite in the tournament.

Because it’s more difficult to win a single elimination tournament, even with talent, than it is to win an NC in other major sports.

Yeh but they never looked dominant

They didn’t get unlucky in 1 game(similar to UKs 2015 season)

They just were never really elite

Because the NCAA tournament is the hardest tournament in sports for the best team to actually win

They were a good team but they were never unbeatable. I think that got lost in the Zion/ESPN hype.
