The only team on this list not to win the National Championship. With a stacked roster that included Larry Johnson, Anderson Hunt, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony, the Rebels were the defending national champs and undefeated heading into the NCAA Tournament. UNLV pretty much rolled into the semifinals, where they faced Duke, who lost to the Rebels by 30 in the ’90 title game. This time, the Blue Devils were much tougher, winning 79-77 to end UNLV’s 45-game winning streak.
