1996 Kentucky

Pitino would rotate 5 at a time. Full court press for 40 minutes. It was like Nolan Richardson's Arkansas in 94/ 95 except they were more talented top to bottom. I use to love watching the tempo of those games.

Which version?

They were pretty damn good both times they made.

The UNLV team with Paddio and Syracuse in 87 were a lot like PSJ

Loved that 97 Arizona team with Simon, Bibby and the forward from St. Aug.

Also the Kentucky team with Jeff Sheppard ('98 maybe) that beat Utah in the final.

The 90 UNLV team?

The Memphis State team with Keith Lee and Baskerville Holmes that lost in Final Four was fun to watch also.

Too bad you have to be a cheating idiot to be head coach of that place (exception being Bartow)

97 Zona and 98 UK were going to be my choices too.

2012 Kentucky because they were awesome to watch. AD and MKG are two of the more likable guys I have ever watched in college. Plus they beat Indiana, Louisville, and Kansas on their way to a championship.

Yes I am bitter about how they escaped twice in that tourney.econd round game in Boise made me want to kill Norm Stewart. I already hated the man, he was a blundering idiot that day.

Most fun to watch was dunk city '13 FGCU

Favorite lately is 06 George mason

Favorite in my lifetime had to be 92 Duke. Laetner was, at the time, one of the best college players the world had seen.

Got absolutely screwed against Duke.

That Kentucky team that year should have won it all, but they had an absolute brain fart against WVU's 1-3-1. That was easily Cal's most talented Kentucky team.

I think that is the only team I can ever remember being booed by the the majority of neutral fans at the Final Four. The officiating in the Arizona game was a travesty.

2002 Maryland and 1986 LSU are my homer picks.

As for neutral teams, Dunk City (of course), 1997 Arizona, and Manning and the Miracles spring to mind. Steve Nash's Santa Clara team was also a blast.
