[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1559582, member: 586845"] My thoughts on this: 1. Anyone who was comparing this year's team to 04-05 either never watched 04-05 or has no idea the things that made them who they were. This year's team may have a mix of players that have potential similar to 04-05, but they have nowhere near the level of experience playing together that Dee, Deron, et al. did. Hell, we have a handful of freshmen included in the group some were using to compare this team to 04-05. It was never a good comparison. Maybe by the end of this season our team starts sniffing around in that rarefied air, but certainly not early. 2. I wouldn't say clearly. They were the better team but not by so much that we were entirely outclassed. We had a shot to win this until we had a momentary lapse, and a great team like this Baylor team will sense blood and absolutely kill you if you let up like that. That's something we can fix with more experience. 3. Absolutely. 4. Absolutely. 5. Oskee Wow Wow [/QUOTE]
