22. 1999-2000 Michigan State Spartans

The Flintstones would be ranked No. 1 on the list if it was for team nicknames alone. Led by Mateen Cleaves, the Spartans won every NCAA Tournament game by double-digits, even when Cleaves had to limp back into the game with an ankle sprain in the title game. Cleaves averaged seven assists per game while getting Jason Richardson and Mo Peterson into the limelight. Michigan State went 32-7 on the year and won the Big Ten with a 13-3 record.
