    THE greatest team in the history of men's college basketball!! Beat every team they played. (lost 2 games but played 'umass' and 'miss st' twice, and both made final 4) the juniors and under classmen lost in OT the next yr (w best player out with an injury) and then UK won AGAIN in 98 w these underclassmen. almost 2/3rds of this team went pro. 25 point average margin of victory. no jabaar or walton to dominate for 4 years at a time. Just the greatest TEAM ever!!! GO BIG BLUE...C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS!!

      Did not even need or want another NBAer in Rodrick Rhodes after he left early and tried to come back. Easily the best “team” in NCAA history. Dominant.

    I remember I wanted UMass and Marcus Camby to beat Kentucky I also wouldn't of mind both of them meeting in the 1996 national championship game.Kentucky was to stacked for every college basketball team that year.I gotta give e credit where credit is due.They were a awesome and unstoppable team in 1996.

    Best Basketball team ever assembled and it's not even close. In '97 guys from that team and recruits, after DA messes up his knee in the SEC final, go on to the NCAA final and lose in OT. Ronnie Mercer... Kid put the team on his back in that tourney. ESPECIALLY in that final four game against Minnesota. And then '98... #7thbanner

      @@harolddelaney9323 hahaha man you don't even know. First of all I was 6'1 and I came up to Camby's Chest. I figured I was gonna punch his knees out... And then it was like the Street light went out behind me. Like a solar eclipse and I turn around, and at the time, it was easily the biggest dude I've ever met. So there's that, I figure out it's Lou Rowe so I'm kinda starstruck, and then immediately realize if I fight Camby I'm getting the shit kicked out of me by #15. Funny thing is Camby started the whole thing. Dude was a prick.
