With only one national title in that span, you can't argue that it's more impressive than UCLA.
But winning at that level then is not the same as now. No one could possibly come close to doing what UCLA did in today's format. Which is why it never happens. Calipari is today's Wooden (in terms of talent acquired) and he's sitting on one title. |

How've things been now that you're in a real conference? I seem to remember WSU fans saying the streak wasn't impressive because they could do the same thing if they had a shot.

Ranking the 14 teams of the streak (from best to worst IMO):
1. 2008: Almost a perfect roster. They could do it all. Shared the conference, won the conference tourney, and won the national title. Best team in the nation in a great year for college basketball. 2. 2010: Loaded roster. Probably the best team Self has had on paper. Best rotation of big men in Kansas history (Aldrich, Morris Twins, T Rob, and Withey). Maybe the only weakness was consistency from 3. **** Farokmanesh Forever. 3. 2017: 16-2 conference record and the National POY. I still think Josh Jackson was the best freshman at KU in my lifetime (I was born in ‘89). 4. 2007: Another loaded roster. Conference champs and conference tourney champs. Very easily could’ve won a national title had they gotten past UCLA. 5. 2016: Very deep roster with a great back court and reliable front court. Conference champs that swept a great OU team with a senior Buddy Hield. Very well could’ve won a title had they not crumbled against Nova. 6. 2018: Hindsight is 20/20. A lot of us complained about them throughout the year, but they accomplished a lot. Conference title, conference tourney title, and a final four. 7. 2012: Conference champs and a final four. I held them down due to having practically no bench. Great starting 5 though. 8. 2011: **** VCU. The field opened up for them to win it all and they didn’t capitalize. 9. 2009: Sherron and Aldrich were awesome in their first years as starters. Beat out Blake Griffin for the conference title (even though he was out when we played). 10. 2013: Really solid starting 5. Withey was awesome all year. The backcourt and bench were inconsistent. Iowa State will forever hate this team. 11. 2014: Big names on this team (Wiggins, Embiid, Selden, Ellis, Mason), but too young and inconsistent. Probably should’ve been better than they were. Far too reliant on Embiid, as we saw once he was out. 12. 2015: They became kind of frustrating, especially Cliff Alexander. He never really seemed to click and then his eligibility issue came up. The Wichita State loss was a kick in the nuts. I liked Oubre though. 13. 2006: Pretty much all freshmen and sophomores. This team wasn’t supposed to win it. They laid the foundation for the 2008 team, but still...Bradley. 14. 2005: The last of the Roy era. Clearly a transitional team. And then...Bucknell. |

Wow. Iowa State has the best chance to win the conference? What happened to them? They’re down 14 at WVU!

It’s easy to forget how much the 2012 team struggled early. They looked horrendous when they lost to Davidson at Sprint Center. I’m judging all of these teams on the totality of their seasons. If I ranked heart, they would probably be number 1. |
