Just curious--and I don't mean this in a disrespectful manner-- how old are you?  Because the opinion you're expressing makes me guess that you weren't around to see the 1989 team.

That team made the elite 8, and came close to making the final four.  They were the best TEAM we've had--not just a collection of talented, individual components--even if the record alone doesn't establish that.  And that's a pretty poor barometer to base everything on, given how different the college game is now compared to what it was then, when you had stars staying 3 and sometimes all 4 years.

And I love the 2012 squad.  And the 2010 squad.

But when you weren't around to see DC, you don't know what he was.  Or how incredible Sherman Douglas was.  Or how superlatively talented Billy Owens was.  And how versatile that group was, and how well they did just about everything other than shoot threes.  Holy smokes -- hard to believe that was nearly 30 years ago.
