What If…

What if the ‘96 UK basketball team played the ‘98 UK basketball team, who would win? For us Northern Kentucky folks, what if a UK basketball team played UC, who would win? What about the ‘85 Bears and ‘72 Dolphins? Or this year’s Red Sox team and the ‘99 Yankees?

WhatIfSports.com allows you to find the answers to those questions. It’s an interesting site that allows you to pick two teams, from a wide range of years, and have them go head-to-head. You get to pick the home and away teams, where the game is played, how much of a home court advantage there is, and not only does it tell the winner and final score, but it also gives a box score. Interesting stuff!

Do you have a dream matchup in mind? Simulate it and post the results in the comments.
