Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 1455330, member: 5195"] We'd be better off in the present, probably, yes. But Melo does not tarnish my memory of that regular season. The greatest regular season ever, I might add. We either should have sat his ass on the bench with the first signs of trouble or played him all the way through. In hindsight we should have rode that hand all the way to a title bout with Kentucky, and maybe we win the whole thing. What was the NCAA going to do? Ban us for 2 years? We wouldn't have made the tourney last year, and we may not make it this year either. Strip us of a 2012 title? Who the cares - let the NCAA declare whatever they want post-mortem, that doesn't erase happy memories. [/QUOTE]
