UCLA - how many years in a row?
Testify.
UNLV
The thread isn't the best dynasty...THE BEST INDIVIDUAL TEAM. And if you can remember the biotch smack they put on Duke...lol..UNLV was untouchable.
that UNLV team would have beaten half the NBA champions from then until now
Who played for the 90 UNLV team?
Augmon, Johnson, Anthony, Ackles, and a few other future pros...one obvious one I have left out as well.
Here's a good write up on em: http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?s...vals&type=lgns That average margin of victory for 34 games being 27.3 points is unreal.

That is basically the same team UNLV beat by 30 in 1990...and that 30 could have been alot worse if the starters hadn't been clowning around on the bench for the last 10 minutes of the game...lol.

This UNLV team is also the same team that Duke beat in 1991 by one to win the first of back to back titles. But I would also have to say they weren't quite as talented as UNLV. But they won.
2008 Tarheels!
Modern Era, UNLV you go old school and you got to pick one of the UCLA teams.
In 91 UNLV had lost role players...they were nowhere near as good as in 1990.
I would still like to have seen what Loyola Marymount would have done had Gathers not died during the conference tourny. THey were awesome too. Back then you had a ton of 100+ point games.
At the time Loyola was one of the best in the tournament. They could shoot the 3.
heart attack hank and bo kimble were no joke........but there was no way in hell that team would have beaten unlv
True....I don't think any NCAA team since I've been alive would have anything for that team..they were unreal. Vs. Duke, it was over with 30 minutes left to play in the game....Duke was humiliated worse than the 1985 New England Patriots..lol

Same team. Johnson, Augmon, Ackles, Anthony, Hunt, Gray, and Spencer.
Went 34-0 till title game. I am not saying they were not the better team. I believe they were. But Duke put'em down. That counts for something.

the issue is that UNLV wasnt used to a team hanging around and couldnt put it away at the......give puke credit for hanging around to put the rebels in that position
puke was in no way the better team though

I think UNLV had more talent than that Duke team. But if they played ACC schedule they would have had a few more losses. And their average margin of victory would have been alot less. But I do think if they played ACC schedule they would have won two titles instead of one. Duke did that.
