Message: [QUOTE="Kemba Time, post: 5321727, member: 2962"] Order after No. 1 is tough, but here's where I'm landing on this -- starting 5 only. 1. 2023-24 Tristen Cam Steph AK Donovan The best college basketball starting five of the past 25 years, period. 2. 1998-99 Khalid Ricky Moore Rip K-Free Voskuhl The next team on the list has this one on overall depth, but the pieces have never fit better as a starting lineup than this group and '23-24. This is the starting five you will be able to name in your sleep in 50 years. 3. 2003-04 Taliek BG Rashad/Denham (switched midseason, would go Shad for the sake of this exercise) Boone Okafor Two top-3 NBA pick/All-Americans, another first-rounder and a lights-out shooting wing/pure PG. When these 5 were on the court, there wasn't a team in the country that stood a chance. 4. 2022-23 Newt Hawk A-Jax AK Adama This group has become underrated because of the team that followed it, but every player in this lineup was an absolute matchup nightmare for the opposition and other than '23-24, this lineup was the king of the knockout punch. 5. 2005-06 Marcus Williams Rashad Rudy Gay Boone Hilton Still arguably the most pure talent in UConn history, people forget this team went 30-4 overall and 14-2 in a loaded BE year because of how it ended. Lands here because the roster construction was far from perfect. 6. 1994-95 KO Doron Ray Donny Knight One Hall of Famer leading four future NBA players and you can make a case that the other one, Doron, is better than anyone not named Ray Allen.
