I’d say as an 80’s baby :

92 Duke
01 Duke
07 Florida

1. 1972 UCLA

UCLA was so dominant in 1971-72 that it defeated opponents by an average of OVER 30 ppg.

The average -- repeat, average -- final score of a UCLA game in 1971-72 was 95-64.

They played only two games that were decided by single digits (one being UCLA's 81-76 victory over Florida State in the national championship game). Bill Walton was upset about the margin of victory in the title game, saying he played poorly...that's how great this team was...they expected to win every game by 30 points, even in the Finals.

Sophomore center Bill Walton (21.1 ppg, 15.5 rpg) won every Player of the Year award out there (and would win 3 consecutive POY awards.)

They closed their undefeated championship run with 45 consecutive victories in a winning streak that would reach 88 games.

1991 UNLV is the best team I have seen. I wasn’t around during the Wooden era.



I was too young to remember those UCLA teams, but the 1991 UNLV team with Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, Greg Anthony, and Elmore Spencer was the best I've ever seen.

Those Gator teams circa 2006 were REALLY well constructed college basketball teams. Not a ton of NBA star power but man we’re they built for a cbb season.
