UK didn't win most of their NCs with five stars. They had superior coaching and a system. Now if you want to argue Pat Riley being a top NBA 50 talent then go ahead.

Outside of Grant Hill, Coach K won those two NCs b/c he had players that fit his system. Sons of coaches with high bball IQs and shot the 3 on the reg. UNC's last NC wasn't that star-studed (Roy had to recruit under ncaa cloud).

Let's overlook Butler going back to back finals (losing to a talentless Duke squad) b/c they had a roster full of gym rats (and NBAer whose name escapes me). Florida won back to back NCs with mainly 4 stars.

When it comes to winning NCs with five stars, UK and Duke have done it a few times. Everyone else had the right chemistry and leadership. Maryland of early aughts come to mind and went toe to toe with Duke's team of Jay Williams and Shane Battier.
