re: Who are the best teams to NOT win the NCAAT the past 20 yrs?

That team was great just IDK if they would’ve beaten the 73 UCLA Bruins, like that season was the pinnacle of the Walton/Wilkes/Meyers years like they were simply unstoppable, would’ve been a VERY competitive game fasho

98-99 duke is easily the answer.

runners up are...

Arizona had 2 absolutely stacked teams that are on this list, although that 2001 team just ran into possibly the best national title team.

UNC team with Vince Carter and antawn Jamison

K-mart's Cinci team.

UNC 98’

Twan
Vince
Shammond
Ed Cota
Brendan Haywood

biggest (only) problem with this team was depth. they only went like 6 or 7 deep, and ran into that red hot Arizona team the prior year, then somehow lost to Utah in 98.

The best team to never win a championship was the 73 NC State

I thought you clowns knew history

They were unbeaten

Yeah and lost very next year to UCLA in a blowout by 20 points...their only loss.

And that 1973 team then...after getting whipped by UCLA...needed two OT's to beat UCLA by 3 points in the Final Four later that year.

And UCLA was on fumes, lost to both Oregon schools that year.

Beat #4 Maryland by 1 point. Lost to Notre Dame.

The only big time team they kicked the shite out of was NC State.

NC State the year before wasn't beating UCLA during the run of their 88 game winning streak - especially as UCLA kick the dog-crap out of the same NC State 8 months later.

only argument against the Cincinnati team is they should have at least made it past the 2nd round of the tourney, even without K-mart.

1991 UNLV was on a 45 game winning streak.

There's never been a team like that.

Only two games during that streak were by less than double-digits.

They beat Duke 103-73 in the Final Four the year before.

Grant Hill isn't defeating...Stacey Augmen, Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony, etc. by himself...he was the only addition to the Duke team from the year before they got obliterated.

That Final Four is still fishy. I think Duke got gifted one.

UNLV should have never been in that tournament. Karma got UNLV. They were allowed in because defending champ and that’s only reason. The NCAA let them pick what year the probation started, it was a joke.

Do you know why they weren’t invited? And you know who won the title the year they were allowed in (74)?

So yeah you aren’t being smart about this.

Hint it was the team that was unbeaten in 73. So learn something before you speak about how UCLA in 73 would’ve beat them

You also know who beat UCLA in the Final 4 in 74? Yeah that same team that lost in St Louis in December of 73. Oh how many games did N.C. State lose in those 2 years? Less than UCLA had lost.
