Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3358316, member: 1674"] I went back and watched some of those games as well. I was only 11 at the time and the championship year was the first year I ever went to a game so I remember it but not really from an informed observer's perspective. Man that team was so damn good. Some of these teams from the early 2000s up to the MCW Final Four run were just so much more athletic and intense than we are today. It looked like absolute hell trying to score on those two teams in particular, and while I haven't gone back to watch yet, I vividly remember how much joy I got out of watching Fab Melo in the middle of our defense in his breakout year too. Between his shot blocking and charge-drawing abilities, he was one of the best defensive players I've personally seen in college. Edit: This is me mentioning Quincy Ballard in my post. [/QUOTE]
