Can you answer two questions for me.
1. What school has had more talent, across the board (not just two centers!), than UNC, EVER?
2. In your opinion, is the amount of trophies in line with the amount of talent.
Keep in mind, I'm a Hoosier; the team that won three with a "crazy" coach, a little talent and a whole bunch of guys destined for blue-collar jobs instead of NBA jobs.

#1. Kentucky 1996...10 players in the NBA, 7 first rounders. 8 of the 10 have held spots on NBA rosters at least until 2005 and only 2 had short NBA careers.
Antoine Walker
Walter McCarty
Tony Delk
Mark Pope
Ron Mercer
Derek Anderson
Nazr Mohammed
Jeff Sheppard

Hard to beat that lineup (as their opponents found in 1996 with an average point differential of 22 for the season. That was also the year in which UK passed UNC in most games won (they were already substantially ahead in win %...UNC has several more losses).
