[QUOTE="3DegreeIllini, post: 1496875, member: 57858"] I’m with you. I cringed every time someone referenced the 05 Arizona/Illinois game last night. Obviously a big moment for us and in college basketball history. But it’s now been 14 years. A brief look at Arizona’s success since then in terms of tourney appearances, conference championships, recruiting, etc. is proof that the sting of that has completely worn off for them while we are still clinging to it. I like to imagine that each team watched those 05 game highlights to get pumped for last night, but I imagine it was just one team— and it’s the team that lost. For Arizona’s players, it wouldn’t even register a response—anger or otherwise. I’m sure it’s been asked before of other teams, but would we give up that 05 game if it meant we could swap trajectories with them? (Potentially Impending vacated wins and sanctions aside). [/QUOTE]
