As Lewis F. Powell once opined about pornography, when you know, you know. And when it comes to Kentucky winning the national championship this season, I know. The last time I was this certain of the Wildcats' fate was in the fall of 1995.

That 1996 Kentucky team had nine future NBA pros on its roster, and its demolition of opponents throughout the season was magical to watch. The Wildcats lost twice that season — once to UMass and once to Mississippi State, both of which were loaded enough to eventually make it to the Final Four.
