The 1992 team! Dang how could I have forgotten about them. I'm officially changing my pick to the 1992 team. My most beloved UK team ever. A title for the Unforgettables would have been epic.

Which would have included wins over Duke and The Fab Five. One less title for Duke;)

I think there is only one rational answer to this question: 1975.

Kentucky adds a title, UCLA loses one. The Cats are that much closer to the only major achievement held by another program: most NCAA titles. It also would have capped my favorite tournament of all time, and brought greater meaning to the greatest Kentucky win of my lifetime, over Indiana in the Elite 8.

On a purely emotional basis, probably 2015. My son was the perfect age to have celebrated another title with. And that 40-0 perfect season would have probably stood forever as the greatest single season in the sport.

But since the challenge is to pick one, I'll stick with 1975

I agree with you on both of these. 2015 would have a more historical impact probably, going undefeated in the modern era. That would mean more than UCLA’s and Indiana’s undefeated teams.

2014 no doubt without hesitation. 40-0. Probably will never be done. There were so many games we should have lost even that season but pulled them out.

Plus if we win that one then Calapari probably doesn't get broken. He would have went 40-0 keeping the legendary momentum going instead of the fall off. More than likely leading to a couple more titles because he would have kept getting the best.

That changes history the most imo.

This is the only answer.

I agree. People would still be talking today about the greatest season ever in college basketball.

My top contenders:
84 (only my 2nd year as a UK fan)
92 (even though was a 2-seed, would have been an amazing cinderella run)
93 (my 2nd/final year at UK)
97 (3-peat, although I think had we won in 97, may not have won in 98)
15 (40-0, and really I think for that to have happened all it would have taken is no Poythress injury in Dec)

I think I might go with the last (15) one, that being one my son would remember (he barely remembers 12)
