I'm going with Knight and Lamb. They both had height and could score the ball. Solid defenders as well.

Funny how this works.
Most talented...Wall and Bledsoe.
Most productive...Knight and Lamb.
Most depth...Aa. Harrison, An. Harrison, Ulis, Booker.
Most accomplished...Teague and Lamb.
The way college basketball is now though, give me Wall and Bledsoe every year and I'll take my chances with the rest working out.
I would've went with Wall and Bledsoe but their shooting during their season here at UK was streaky at best and it cost us a championship.
Oh so the WVU game is all Wall and Bledsoe's fault eh? LMAO.
Ulis and Briscoe. Please guys, learn that Tyler's last name only has ONE L.Ullis and Briscoe
Lol is this even a serious question?
Wall and Bledsoe are NBA Stars.
Knight and Lamb? No way. Knight is solid. Lamb is playing now playing more Twitter than basketball.
The question was whowas UK's best backcourt, which means NBA Allstars is not the measure, success here would be. For me it is either Knight and Lamb, or Teague and Lamb. There is a reason Lamb is in both groups, great college guard, but little NBA potential or work ethic.
Then you have my answer. Ill take the NBA Stars. Far elite players to the rest.
0 from 20 to start the game. 4 of 32 overall. Yes it was their fault.
This thread is all about opinion, and I hear yours. That's not why I quoted you though. I quoted you for the rediculous comment on whether this was a serious question, as if Wall and Bledsoe were just so much better than the other choices. While they were a lot better than some, it is questionable whether they were clearly better than all the other choices. If that tandem was so great, then how did Knight and Lamb take a much less talented team, against a much tougher field, further in the tournament than Wall and Bledsoe? The college game and NBA are drastically different, which is why certain players can be more successful in college than the NBA.
Wall/Bledsoe over Knight/Lamb any day of the week , and twice on Sundays.
Just as a STARTING backcourt, gotta go with Wall/Bledsoe despite inconsistent shooting. For greatest DEPTH, this year's team with Twins/Booker/Ulis takes the cake...HOWEVER, I think we will be able to argue that the upcoming backcourt of Ulis/Briscoe/Mulder if Mulder shoots 40%+ may be more lethal and FOR SURE if we get Jamal Murray to reclassify 2015, the trio of Ulis/Briscoe/Murray is stronger overall to the Wall/Bledsoe or Twins/Ulis/Booker backcourts...
As good as the Twins were in terms of leadership, size/strength, they were mediocre offensive players at best...Ulis and Briscoe will be off the charts with creating off the bounce...

. Gosh I wish they would have finished the Job. Such an explosive, fun team. Full of personality. If they close they are remembered as one of the best teams in our history.
Wall/Bledsoe - end of thread.
The more interesting question would be best frontcourt.
I agree that Teague wasn't the best in the regular season, but my memory is that he was clutch in the Tournament. In particular, I remember Teague and Lamb playing great in the Final Four while hitting multiple big shots. I always thought Lamb should have been named the Final Four MVP.It's close between Knight + Lamb and Ulis + twins + Booker.
Wall is the best guard, but Bledsoe was not terribly productive his freshmen year due to a crippling turnover affliction.
The 2012 team won the title, but Teague was not a very good player. Awesome teammates compensated for his lack of production.
