This year's final four has 4 great teams and any one of them has a realistic shot at winning the national championship. It got me thinking, what year had the best final four teams left?
2001? Duke, Arizona, Michigan State, and Maryland were all very talented teams with great coaches (Izzo, Olsen, Williams and K) and great players including Battier, Williams, Arenas, Richard Jefferson, Jason Richardson, Juan Dixon, etc (so many to list).
This year's final four doesn't come close in terms of coaches but all 4 are high seeds (UCLA is basically a 1 seed in my mind) with a lot of good/great future NBA players.
