Message: [QUOTE="OrlandoCuse, post: 152268, member: 115"] I actually think last year's team is a better comparison to the 99-00 team. 10-11 team started off 18-0 before hitting a bit of a skid (finished the season 9-8), losing 4 in a row a one point, before going into the NCAAt as a 3 seed. Of course, we got upset by 11 seed Marquette, but it wasn't a giant upset as they had beaten us earlier in the year. We were led by a solid, but not spectacular low post player in Rick Jackson, similar to Etan Thomas in 00. 99-00 started off 19-0 before faltering down the stretch (7-6 to end the season). They entered the NCAAt as a 4 seed, but performed well, imo. This season is different because we have the majority of pieces back from last year, and a great number of them have improved. [/QUOTE]
