The 2nd to last year of the Kentucky 90s dynasty. In 8 seasons from 92-99 they made the elite 8 seven times, made four final 4s, three finals and won it twice... that's a great run spanning nearly an entire decade

@@zackerytracy3197 in my opinion, a stacked team is one that is loaded with talent AND experience. Cal never had the experience. The 1990s teams were way more stacked. If Cal's players stayed as juniors and seniors, he would have 6 or 7 titles.

'98 Utah is up there with '15 Wisconsin in terms of the caliber of teams they had to face to become the runner-up. Having to face defending champion Arizona (which basically had the whole team back), uber-stacked North Carolina and Kentucky in 3 straight games was just a bit too much. And don't forget they had to get past Arkansas, which was a Top 15 team that season, way back in the second round.

You are outside of your mind. Tell me you know nothing about basketball without saying you know nothing about basketball. We beat Utah for 3-4 years for practice. Rick Majerus and Utah never beat the Cats once in a tournament setting. This wasn’t even our best team of the 90s either. The 96 team would have beat the 98 team by 10 points or more.

I understand it from both sides but I wish they would leave him alone when he is in Lexington.

Just to be clear, one of the announcers suggests that Alabama was the 1st in the SEC to have a black (basketball) player which is NOT true. Vanderbilt was 1st and Kentucky was 2nd. Adolph Rupp wanted to recruit black players but the SEC wouldn't let him. Also, the other idiot announcer keeps trying to make racial issues where there were none.
