I mean anything could happen but, so long as we don't suffer any injuries we're gonna win this thing. At full strength we're the best team and, it isn't particularly close.
Eh, I will give that you are the prohibitive favorite. The best team doesn't always win it (See 2015) Yes UK was the best team hands down in 2015 Towns, booker Twins, Ulis etc

No my man, that was the most overrated team in sports history, you got by, by playing in a freaking awful SEC that year. The Harrison Twins couldn't run a half court set to save their lives, Towns was solid but nowhere near what he is now, and unless you kept a steady stream of turnovers going from the other team, your offense dried up.

Towns, Booker, beat NC by 14, KU by 32 38-1 over rated? Ok I am sorry I can't take you as serious. Good troll job :p

Same team that couldn't drop 60 on mighty Colombia and struggled to beat them. Like I said, if the other team gave you a steady stream of turnovers y'all were great because you could score but, your half-court offense was atrocious. I remember that team very well because my ex and her family wouldn't shut up about them being the greatest team ever, I told them all year they were gonna get beat in the tourney by a team that didn't succumb to their athleticism and guess what? I was right. Your terribly weak conference helped that team look much better than they actually were.

Uk was best team that year and did not win it, happens all the time
Sorry to break it to you, but Champions are the ones who find a way to win, you guys weren't the best team, or a group of champions, you were a large collection of talent, nothing more.

Well, Duke did what they had to do to face KY, but KY didn’t. In the meantime, the banner will remain in Cameron.

I get it in years where a 7 seed goes on a run and wins the tournament. Was Nova better than Georgetown in 84? Probably not given they won 1 out of 4 meetings. But, when a 1 seed wins it all, they’re the best team. You’re acting like Duke squeaked by in 2015. They didn’t.

We’re never going to be able to convince you Duke was the better team in 2015 and you’re never going to be able to convince us otherwise. But, the one thing we can all agree on is that Duke was the 2015 National Champion and KY was not.

We won a championship in 98 but I say without shame, we were not the best team in 98. 96 was a different story. My whole point is the best team doesn't always win it. I have no problem saying, if UK hangs a banner this year, Duke was still the best team

Duke, Michigan, Purdue and Kentucky (yuck).
I like it! U would have to think with that Final Four, Duke has a really really really good shot at cutting down the nets. No uva or unc, zags, or TN! Also it would give Duke a chance to put Brazdekis in his place!

Playing around with brackets, having to go through VT, Louisville, FSU and UNC/VA is in the realm of possibilities. Won't happen, but fun thought.

Didn't we actually beat Kensucky in 2015? As I recall, Cal said they lost when they did because they were looking ahead to Duke. We managed to beat them without even playing them. :)
I thought that was 2010?

I know the SEc has a lil fire this year, but why is it these Kintucky boys don't realize how bad the SEC SUCKED *** those years they brag about their great records? Had you competed in the ACC those years, well, you know the rest of this story JC.
