Agree to disagree man, in 2001 who was the best team? Duke, did they win it? Yes. 2002 who was the best team? Maryland? Check. 2003 you could argue we were the best team but an injury hurt us, so it turned into a crapshoot, and the best player in the tourney took over and won it. 04 best team was uconn, they won it; 05 UNC was the best, they won, I could keep going. Normally, the best team wins it in my opinion.Yes, I'd probably say that UNC was the best team this season. Again, I agree that in general, teams that win it all have "good talent"...................just not necessarily the best. The best team doesn't always win the championship. They just don't. I don't think UConn was the best team a few years back. Just like I don't think Duke was in 2010, nor 2015. UK in 1998? Doubtful.
Saying a team with great talent usually wins is different than saying the most talented or even the best team wins.
This year? Probably.
You are dreaming if you think Cal wins 2 more titles here, if he gets 1 more It will shock me. To much roster turnover, you cant lose every players of worth and even some not of that much worth every year and expect to win one, much less two..lol..now call me a troll and move on.I'll say he wins 1 more. 2 titles, and probably 7-8 Final Fours if he stays 15 years. He is already the 2nd best coach in UK basketball history with 1 title and 4 Final Fours.
Teams without great talent. Starting 30 years ago:Again, please look at the history of the tournament, and educate me on a time when a team without great talent won it all. If you dont think not even reaching the title game in 2015 with the all stars that was on that team, you must be a real loser.
Stopped reading right there... and will put this guy on ignore. I'm scared my eyes my get stuck from rolling back in my head too far.That is bologna, 9 times out of 10 the team with the most overwhelming talent wins it all.
Read his post again. He said 1 more title for 2 total.You are dreaming if you think Cal wins 2 more titles here, if he gets 1 more It will shock me.

titles will he win in the next 8 years?
With the mass exodus of players and a great recruiting class coming in this feels like a halfway mark in Cal's UK tenure.
Assuming he does stay 8 more years will he win one or two more titles in your opinion?
What a hell of a first half of a tenure btw!
That is bologna, 9 times out of 10 the team with the most overwhelming talent wins it all. Now, if it is a year where there is no dominant team, it is a crap-shoot. With that being said however, 2015 we should have been champs...as times goes on and we see about 4 future nba all stars emerge from that team, along several other really good pros, it will be an embarrassment that we did not even reach the title game that year.

It is not necessarily the best teams that wins it all, but it is far from crap shoot. Most of the time the national champion could be narrowed down to five teams. There are some exceptions such as UCONN in 2014 but those are rare.
You do not know college hoops very well obviously.When you make ridiculous exaggerations, you look stupid. 9/10 years there is no team "with the most overwhelming talent," let alone one that wins it all. There was not one this year. Or 2016. Maybe 2015 (although Wisconsin had the #1 offense in all of KenPom's history, and Duke was stacked). 2014? Nope. 2013? Nope. 2012 there were two - UNC was very talented until Marshall went down. 2011? Maybe Ohio State, but they didn't win at all so it doesn't help your argument. 2010? If you argue UK, you're ignoring every metric (for example, UK was far behind Kansas and Duke that year in advanced metrics.. the Wall team had a lot of close wins), and basically equating NBA potential with current college production (which is what the stupid and/or ignorant constantly do). 2009? UNC was stacked, and they won. 2008? Which of the four stacked #1 seeds was "the team with the most overwhelming talent?"
TLR - your take sucks, and you should feel bad for making such an easily discredited argument.

Got it Brian, you love not winning championships. Now we can move on. Randle was injured in 2014? Hmm..I thought he played, school me Brian.Oh, but you are the expert?
9 out of 10 win?
2003 you gave the excuse of injury but 2014 doesnt get the same without WCS and an injured Randle?
You whine about 2015? They won every game and 90% of the final four game... they lost ONE game in the last 4 minutes...
titles will he win in the next 8 years?

I consider myself schooled by the poe. Look guy, Randle played and played fine against Uconn,..please dont try and blame the loss on that. We were twice as talented as that team, if you cant see that then you need to take up tennis. Typical sunshine pumper though, u guys should start a club.Dont start punching above your weight class...
The stupid ass remark that a fan doesnt love championships pretty much sums up your intelligence level.
You will continued to be schooled by more than me on here with your attitude and rudeness.
But here you go:
"Randle struggled with leg cramps"
"Kentucky’s Julius Randle went to the bench three times in the first half, missing 5:01 of game time. The reason for the frequent substitutions was leg cramps, according to an in-game report by the CBS TV broadcast crew."
"Cramps plagued Randle earlier in the season. Over a three-game stretch, starting on Dec. 28 in a win over Louisville, Randle was limited to an average of 22 minutes because of cramps. Randle averaged nearly 32 minutes in the Wildcats’ previous five NCAA Tournament games."
"The performance wasn't great, but it might have been due to an injury he suffered in the Final Four game against Wisconsin. As Pat Forde from Yahoo! Sports pointed out before the game, it appeared that Randle was struggling through warm-ups."
"Eric Crawford of WDRB in Louisville reiterated what CBS officially reported about Randle’s cramping issues"
"Connecticut dominated the early going and built a 15-point lead at one point, largely because Randle was ineffective. The Huskies used their athleticism and speed to beat the hobbled Randle down the floor in transition a number of times, which eliminated his shot-blocking presence."
"Jason McIntyre of the Big Lead and Jeff Borzello of CBS Sports both recognized that Randle looked far from 100 percent in the first half"
Did you even watch the game?
No.Am I the only one that finds the term sunshine pumper completely idiotic?

It seems as if we're almost always one player short.titles will he win in the next 8 years?
