Difference between Florida and UNC is that Florida did it twice with the exact same guys and UNC did it twice with two completely different teams. That being said, KU beat Florida the year they won their second title and well KU destroyed UNC's best a year before UNC won their second.
-
Florida, i say Flordia, they won back to back right?
-
The decade is already over for basketball season...Next years title will be 2010..Thats why the debate is starting right now..
-
I wouldnt count on calling any team the best this decade until this year it out, considered its pretty much between KU and UNC and KU happens to be pretty heavy favorites to win the title...so until its all said an done in 09-10 ill hold judgement.

Youth is only an excuse when you lose like UNC did big time back in 2002 and 2003. KU's youth not only won their conference but made it to the NCAA tourney and defeated the 2 time champions Florida. A product of KU being Dean Smith brought UNC to the heights it maintained. And when/if KU and UNC play again they will most likely bring up the pounding KU gave UNC in 2008 before any other game. And one of those games UNC beat KU,When Roy Williams was at KU there was a major big game chokefactor.

Youth is always an excuse my friend..Also Count UNCs Final 4s from 1980 to now...In fact,you could look at most titles since 1980 also..UNC owns KU in every way...Frank Mguire was let go for his character issues..If it wasnt for that he would have still been coaching at UNC...Not Dean...UNC was becoming a powerhouse already and they took a gamble on Dean Smith...No matter what measuring method you use,KU dont match UNC..
-
Youth isn't an excuse. If it was do you think KU would have made the tourney in 2006 and also winning the Big 12? If youth is your excuse in 2002, what about 2003? Frank McGuire was certainly an entity I give you that and triple OT in 1957 is beyond incredible. But people remember the Dean Smith era for a reason and if I remember he won a championship as a player somewhere... And until UNC proves otherwise, KU's best today is far superior to UNC's best today as the 2008 thrashing demonstrated.

I dont care if we didnt make the tourney that year,because we were yung anyways..When Roy got there we won it all with the same cast of players..Also,UNC had 27 straight tourney appearances before that 2002 season,along with 31 straight 20 win seasons...UNC is not a product of KU either so dont even go there...As a matter of fact we won the title 3 years before Dean Smith got there...KU is older than UNC,but UNC owns them in every category..
-
Well if we're going to go that route, KU beat Florida's two time Championship team with Freshmen and Sophomores in 2006. And made it to the Elite 8 in 2007 as well. Thrashed UNC hard in 2008. Since the year after KUs 1988 championship team has KU missed an NCAA tourney, nope. I believe UNC did not make the tourney in what 2002 and wow 2003, so they didn't really build on beating KU in that pre season tourney... UNC is basically an offshoot of KU anyways. I ran out of characters.

KU made the Fina 4 in 2002
Made it to the Tite game in 2003 and won it all in 2008 whie beating UNC...
UNC made the Fina 4 in 2000,beat KU in Beat KUs runner up 2003 team with freshmen(Mcants,May,Felton)
Won it all in 2005
Elite 8 in 2007
Final 4 in 2008
Won it all in 2009
No matter how you spin it,UNC is clearly above KU in the 80s,90s and 2000s...Your Final 4 beatdown was great for KU but it only counts for one game...Now your only 3-6 against UNC...
2008 national champions jayhawks are best team in country
