I say yes, without a doubt. The game is more competitive than ever, and no one is remotely close to them.


Not even the best Kentucky team ever

Coach Wooden would "beg to offer." Lots. And did.

I don't think this UK team would have a chance against 96 UK. That being said, 96 UK did lose a couple of games. If this team wins out, well, case closed.

Not really. Wooden got away with killing puppies and stealing from old people. UK got balls to the wall.

Pure as the driven snow now. No need to put players on bogus payrolls. It sells itself.

We are going to need solid QB play to claim that, but we are headed that direction.

absolutely ... as uk was whipping bama the other day, i thought "if they can do this to bama, what could they do to unc/jordan, ucla/jabbar, houston/hakeem, etc" ...

On a serious note, the 95-96 team had more upperclassmen. Delk vs Booker shooting 3's, I think I go with Delk.

Would be a good game to see them play.

Delk is still my all time favorite player. Lord he had a flair for the dramatic three.

Nope and it's not even close. Anybody worth a damn is gone after one year. College basketball as a whole is no where near what it was when everyone stayed for several years.

Plus, KY doesn't have a Lew Alcindor or a Bill Walton, either of which could be called the best college player of all time.

Sometimes I think you guys think life started five years ago. Is KY the best this year? Yes Best all time? Hell no!

To be the best ever, you have to beat Alabama in a mulligan game. That's just how it works.

Not even top 5. This team is good but good God are they over hyped.


If you think they're better than the early 90's UNLV/Duke teams, '02 Duke, '05 UNC, '07 UF, or even '10, '12 UK, then you don't know basketball.

It's not that they think life started five years ago so much as they dont actually watch a lot of basketball (then or now) and are basing stupid "best ever" comments off of the one game they did watch and a couple box scores they scanned over. I wonder if genius OP is aware of UK's ten point win over lowly Columbia or double overtime squeaker over Ole Miss.

(Those games aren't meant to diminish this year's UK team- just the intelligence of the OP).

It was more of Memphis going full Green Bay Packers late in regulation.
