Top 7 championship games since 1985

[Travelman6]

Uconn gets a mention for its 2014 victory over Kentucky.

However, I thought Uconn/Duke was a superior game and should have been mentioned over the 2014 victory. Obviously GTech and Butler were anti-climatic compared to the previous games, and Butler was one of the ugliest championship games ever. But I would say Uconn played in 2 of the top 10 title games ever played.

1997 Zona/kentucky OT game should be on here too though. In fact this should just be a top 10 so you can include duke/butler.

I'd also give the nod for UConn/Duke '99 over 2014. Top 2 teams in the country, Dookies 37-1 and seemingly invincible. UConn shocks the world. The most epic of all epic UConn games.

Other title games that are up there (they can only fit 7, but here are more) - 1982 NC/GTown, 1983 NC St/Houston, 1997 Arizona/Kentucky, 1994 Arkansas/Duke, 2003 Syracuse/Kansas, 2010 Duke/Butler

Since 1985. That eliminates 2 of your 6.

1999 game over 2014 for sure. And I don't think that's just because we're UConn fans and it was the first national championship.

You're right - my bad.

Good list but what about last years game?

They already have it up there as #1. My list has just possible additions.

ALL 4 of UConn's NC wins are tops in my book - the others - who cares
