The Phat 5 had atleast one of the programs in the Final Four for 17 consecutive years from 1962-1978. The streak was ended by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in 1979 with their epic battle that was also the rebirth of the NBA. The new sreak is from 1988-2005, 18 consectutive years and counting. There will much anticipation in 2006 to see if the Phat 5 can extend the streak to 19 consecutive Final Fours.
The Phat 5 of College Basketball is the greatest collection of winning teams of All-Time in any sport when you look at the wins, players, champioships, and the history of the programs.

locusts in mainland china make a profit of RMB$0.5 for being a communist propaganda machine online. each entry posted in forums will worth 5 cents when they attack USA, HK, UK or any foreign countries, or praise the communist party or Strong Country (mainland china). It is a lucrative biz but eventually millions of souls will be sold out (if there are any!)
