[QUOTE="drwillini, post: 1536104, member: 7762"] I anything can happen in any one game against quality teams, but I think it would have been easier this year. Talent was diluted by early NBA entry between 89 and 05, and even moreso now. There was no team in the NCAA this year close to our level of talent in 05. Shoot I think 05 Arizona could have gone undefeated this year. Let me turn that around, who in the tournament this year would have scared our 05 team? I really disagree that Augie could not match up. The championship game was an anomaly. You knew when the first whistle blew that Augie was going to have a long night against May. In other games Augie held his own. I'd even go so far as to ask you in this year's tournament our current team was scared of? We had a punchers chance in any game. If we shot well, we could beat any team. I think the 05 team dominates this year. [/QUOTE]
