I can think of four that have been incredible.
1. Eddie Sutton, 1985-86. We went 32-4 and may have won it all if NCAA hadn't made us beat Alabama AND LSU four times.
2. Rick Pitino, 1989-90. We were only 14-14, but Pitino's Bombinos set the tone for the Pitino Era. After a 121-110 win over us in Freedom Hall, Dean Smith of UNC said he started getting scared when we were giving up twos on one end just to rush down and hit threes on the other.
3. Tubby Smith, 1997-98. We went 35-4 and finished it off with three amazing comeback wins over Duke, Arizona and Utah.
4. John Calipari, 2009-10. I believe we were 35-3. John Wall, Darcus Cousins and Co. were rock stars. Another team screwed by poor seeding in the tournament. Still should have beat WV, though.
