Fair warning - let's not ruin this thread with "Worst ..." posts.

Start your own thread.

Thanks.

Best team was the 2010 team.
It had post scoring, passing the ball, and shooting.

Best player was 2013 Michael Carter-Williams. Followed by 2012 Dion Waiters, 2010 Wes Johnson, 2011 Rick Jackson, and 2016 Michael Gbinije.

Best defender: Baye Moussa Keita.
My All-Decade team
Best PG: 2013 MCW
Best SG: 2012 Dion Waiters
Best SF: 2014 C.J. Fair
Best PF: 2010 Wes Johnson
Best C: 2011 Rick Jackson
Most underrated player: Brandon Triche

2014: The best game we played was the 2014 Duke game at the Dome.
My favorite was the 2010 Georgetown game at the Dome we fell behind 0-14 and came back and beat them by 20? I believe. That game showed what kind of wagon we were that year.

I was there. Just awful.

I was there. Just awful.

Ditto. One of the worst losses I've experienced in my life.

After Indiana in 87, absolutely.

So 09-10 is included in this time bracket? Wouldn't they technically be the previous decade? Clarifying because the majesty of that team will dominate these answers, if so allowed.

Almost all the games that mattered occurred in 2010 so I say yes.

because seasons split years, you could go either way. to get 10 years, it's either 09-10 through 18-19 or 10-11 through 19-20.

to do a decade ending list in december of 2019, you have to use the former.

Tough to pick best vs. favorite for some of these. Guys like Andy Rautins, CJ Fair, Kris Joseph aren't necessarily the best, but deserve some extra credit for being solid 4 year guys who improved each and every year.

But if I'm picking best single seasons from 2009-2010 season to now:

best season 2010
best player Wes Johnson
best defender MCW
best pg MCW
best sg Tyus Battle
best sf Wes Johnson
best pf Jerami Grant
best c Rakeem Christmas
best game 2016 comeback vs. Virginia to make the final four (after coming back the game before against Gonzaga)

 

[Wrinkle]

MCW
Dion
CJ
Big Ol Rick
Onuaku

Underrated is scoop

09-10 best team, without question

 

[Trueblue25]
