[Observing]

I realize this, '90 UNLV has no place in this discussion as they were not even the best team that season in my opinion. They lost to OU and KU who were both better than them that year, and to some teams that were average at best. I also feel like Georgetown, while they were best team that year('84), is just another product of the early 80's shot-clockLESS era. They grinded games out as opposed to dominating them convincingly. Had 1991 UNLV won the title, I would have no problem saying they were the best team ever because they were truly dominant all season up until that last game and because there is no way to prove who is right and who is wrong, but they didn't win. I can not say that a team was the greatest ever that couldn't win the big game.

Your point about Gtown and the shot clock era is a good one. But overall
I can't see making a case for them being better than '84 UK. They
were better at full court pressure D, but UK was actually probably
a little sounder, though less thugish in half court D. Bowie, Turpin,
Walker and Bennett made a FORMIDABLE front line.
And offensively, there's NO comparison. UK had players that were
actually GOOD on that end of the floor. Gtown struggled on
the offensive end.

For 30 years the media has portrayed that gmae as big bad Gtown
smacking the Cats down. All the while ignoring that A. UK snuffed
Gtown in the first half and held a lead. B. Gtown's "devastating"
press botherd UK not at all C. UK was missing OPEN shots. It
wasn't that UK was getting blocked, or shots were being altered,
they were missing OPEN SHOTS.
