Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 224843, member: 86"] This team and situation remind me soo much of 1986 its ucanny. I certainly hope for a better result, but when you compare the teams its remarkable: Each team had two seniors with somewhat checkered careers (Addison-Alexis, Scooop-Kjo). Each team had a sophomore foreign center just learning the game. (Seikaly - Melo). Each team had a dynamic lead guard who often looked for his own shot more than setting up others (Pearl - Dion). Each team had huge expectations going into the tournament (86 played at the dome, now we are a 1 seed) It even carries over when comparing the following seasons. Each team will hand the PG position to a back up pass first PG.(Sherm-MCW) Each team will return solid role players who play well within the team concept (Monroe- Triche, Fair-Triche). Each team will bring in the #1 rebounder/Shotblocker recruit in the country (fingers crossed) (DC-Noel). Each team will have a Coleman and a Triche. [/QUOTE]
