Watching the final four now

2003 against Texas. Check out these similarities to the game tonight. Texas had the college player of the year 5'10" Ford. Somewhat like Trey Burke. Ford was unable to do much against the zone. And of course the zone, and Texas was favored. And the texas coach coached in the BE against SU previous to that game also. One thing that probable won't be the same. The score. No way does it get to be 95-84

They also had a freshman McDonald's AA goofy white post player (Buckman) on that roster, too, just like McGary.

Yeah, wasn't that (Buckman) the thug who gave Melo a cheap shove on his way down court, or am I thinking of another game?

You're thinking of Oklahoma in the Elite Eight.

Fun fact - somehow Melo was called for a foul on that play.

Ford could not shoot.

Amazed on on how different the zone was then compared to todays. JB has made huge adjustments and the guys are more active. They talked about how big the zoe was then but no comparison to now.
