Our 07 team.
Better than any UK team from the 90's, whether you like it or not BluegrassBelle.

It's tough as hell to make a list for UK.

I'd think you gotta make a case for Jamal Mashburn too. I don't know that I could pick just 5. May have to think about this when I get home from work.

There's no way just 5 could be picked for UK. They've been great for so long, it's transcended eras of basketball.

With UK, I think you'd pick the line up based on match ups with other teams. I mean, at point guard, they're stacked with Rondo, Wall and Macy depending on whether you needed a floor general or scoring. The shooting guard could be Delk for shooting or Chapman for all around play. At the three, you have Mashburn for his offense or MKG for defense purposes. At the four, you could have Issel or Davis or Walker or Walker. At the five, you could go with Bowie or Cousins if you needed an enforcer. I think he is someone who wouldn't back down from Shaq.

And those are just players in the past 30 years. I haven't even touched on players who played for Rupp since its hard to compare them nowadays.

Though, I would contend UK could have the best player/coach in Pat Riley

Gotta be honest, the only A&M basketball player I even remotely can name is AC Law.

**can't even spell it. Acie Law.

Don't be absurd. I think either the '96 or 2012 team beat Noah and sons.

If you're going by college career, Reggie Miller probably wouldnt be included on that team. He had a much better pro career than college one.

Bill Walton should probably be included, or Don MacLean, the all time leading scorer in Pac 10 history.

Dude he never played at Arkansas.

He was committed here but decommitted when Nolan was fired and went to Arizona instead.

That firing also cost us JJ Sullinger who transferred to Ohio St which in turn cost us Jared Sullinger down the road.

They lost to the best State team ever (a Final Four team).

But they went undefeated in regular season conference play. Which your boys couldn't do.
