2008 national champions jayhawks are best team in country

[ITloco08]

YES I WAS THERE!!!

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.

[jackitup52]

Florida, i say Flordia, they won back to back right?

[balberty9]

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.

[bobolob]

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.

[bobolob]

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 it to the Final 4 twice in the early 2000s when UNC was nowhere to be found and won it all in the late 2008 including a crushing win against UNC in the Final 4. And don't get me started with Duke. The fact that they are number 4 on your list is just irksome I'm sure we can agree on that.

[bobolob]

Duke and Kentucky were also involved in some memorable games. Even though UNC vs. Illinois could have been a spectacular game it was pretty forgettable. And you're correct UNC had some great success, no one can argue against two championships. You'd think getting killed by KU the way the were killed in the 2008 Final Four would mean something too. I don't know it's a pretty circular and endless argument.

[bobolob]

Team = roster of players. 2 different rosters = 2 different teams. Maybe if it had been called Basketball School of the 2000s or something. I guess if being as crappy as UNC was in the early 2000s factors into their decision, maybe as team who was down in the dumps and came back to prominence, then yes go them. Whereas a team like KU never faltered that bad, I think you get my point.

[bobolob]

Florida did it with 1 "Team" hence "TEAM" of the 2000s. Get it? But considering how bad UNC was they deserve it for bouncing back. KU may not have won 2 championships this decade but they didn't get near as bad as Carolina, shouldn't that count for more? I guess if you're Duke you can win as many games as you want just not important ones. Just out of curiosity, who decided these teams anyway?
