#10. 1996
Kentucky Wildcats
• Used seven players in the championship game who later played in the NBA: Antoine Walker, Derek Anderson, Tony Delk, Ron Mercer, Walter McCarty, Mark Pope and Jeff Sheppard. The first five were first-round picks.
• Scored 535 points in six NCAA Tournament games -- tied for fourth-highest series total (with 1987 Indiana) in history; their
scoring margin of 21.5 points also ranks fourth.
• Were led by Delk, who tied an NCAA record with seven 3-pointers in the championship game and was named most outstanding player at the Final Four.
• Had a reputation as a pressing team, but applying vicious post traps against Wake Forest All-American center Tim Duncan in the Midwest Region championship limited him to 2-of-7 shooting, 14 points and five turnovers in an 83-63 Wildcats win.
• Were so gifted they earned the nickname “the Untouchables ” from coach Rick Pitino, who used 10 players extensively.
