Best team to lose in the tournament ?

[Plum Street]

What's the best team that was a favorite to win it all and came up short?
Phi slamma jamma in 84?
Georgetown in 85?
Duke in 99?
I am going with UNLV in 91. That was a heck of team, and duke played the game of their lives in that final four game. Larry Johnson should have taken that shot.
I rooted hard for duke that night. Nowadats I hate duke.

Yes. The obvious one I forgot. Hard to argue with that one.

What about the undefeated Kentucky team from a few years ago.

How about best team not to make it? Of course that goes back to pre 1976.
I'd say the 1974 Maryland team with Elmore, Lucas and McMillen.
