I just came here to post this. It was a fun read while in lockdown.

I have a hard time deciding between 1999 and 2004 as the best. The 1999 team was ranked #1 for an awful long time, and they beat an alleged all-time great Duke team. But 2004 had the #2 and #3 picks in the draft.

2014 is difficult to place. They won the whole thing, which would justify them being top four. However, I can't really say I think that team was better than the 1995 team, among others. I agree with 2006 and 2009 being ahead of 2014.

2011 still has to be my favorite team. I don't think anybody will ever surpass that team's March run. Of course, people sometimes forget we were undefeated outside of the Big East that year, as well as undefeated on neutral courts. It was a little less unlikely of a title than some realize.

Every title run has a special place in my heart. 1999 was the first. I was a student in 2004. 2011 was the greatest March run. 2014 was the most unlikely, with a new coach, and a year after a ban.

After James Bouknight surprisingly decides to return for a third year, I can't wait to see where the 2021 team ranks on this list.
