Could this year's champ be 'greatest ever?'

Ummm, Mike, teams in this decade win more games because they PLAY more games.

If Memphis builds a 44 point lead in the semifinal game, then wins the final by "only" 23 because they pull the dogs off early, then we can consider whether they are better than the '68 Alcindor team. And if they can retroactively go undefeated for two straight years and have an average margin of victory in a power conference (oops, lets them out) of +/- 30 points a game for the SEASON--like The Walton Gang did one year, then we can start to consider them as the best ever. Until then, nope. Not even close.

Most of the teams mentioned cannot even be considered the "greatest team ever," as THEY DIDN'T GO UNDEFEATED! Given that, the greatest team ever is the 1973 UCLA Bruins, led by Bill Walton. They completed the season 30-0, winning every game by at least six points, and had an average winning margin of more than 20 points over the entire season. Coach John Wooden called it his "best team ever," and that's good enough for me. All other discussion is pointless!

We knew in Memphis when the seasoned started the Tigers could be one of the best ever. People outside of Memphis don't want to give the Tigers any credit. I have been reading people comments about the Tigers. This is the kind of talk I would expect from people from CA and the rest of the country. No one wants to give the Tigers any credit. Most people picked the Tigers to be the first #1 seed to get put out. The band wagon has got full after the Tigers destroyed 2 teams from so called power conferences. The best ever when they win it all is a fair argument.
