I'm sure a question like this has been asked. But Darryl's post about the best UK coaches got me thinking about this a bit. I'm a bit on the younger side so may not have some of the teams that others will have. AND....I have no doubt I am going to change my mind by the end of this thread and reading other's comments.
But, here are my most enjoyable seasons (first game through last tourney game) as a UK basketball fan:
1. 1996 - was amazing from beginning to end. I loved the coaching. I loved the team. I loved how we stomped everyone.
2. 2010 - the 2nd resurrection. I loved Wall and Cousins. I loved Cal's passion. Heartbreaking ending but man Wall was something special.
3. 2012
4. 1993 - I loved this team. Maybe my favorite assembly of players since I loved Mash and Delk so much.
5. 2017 - Fox and Monk were just special. And vs UNC in Vegas was the best game I have ever seen live.
6. 1992 - It meant so much watching these guys. And the Duke game is one of the best basketball games I've ever seen in my life.
7. 1995 - Ugh at how it ended
8. 2003
9. 1998
10. 2011 - I loved Brandon Knight. And I loved watching Harrellson get better. And that tourney was flat awesome. Also, this was the first year I was able to watch with my boys. They were 5 and 3 and just getting old enough to cheer the team on.
You will notice 2015 is not on this list. That team was one of the best college teams I have ever seen. But I didn't enjoy much of that season. I hated Platooning. I was stressed the last 10 games. And I HATED how we lost to Wisconsin and allowed Duke another title.
So, what say all of you?
