I'm 29 and watched that game a few times.  It's hard to compare era's, but obviously those teams had a ton of talent on the floor.  The game back then was played at a faster pace than it is today.  It was definately more fluid and we seemed to move more on offense. I think the biggest difference in basketball today compared to then is now even big guys want to play facing the basket.  There aren't many post players like Seikaly anymore.  Even in the NBA.

I'm not saying those teams didn't play defense, but the games now seem much more physical.  I am sure that is because over time the Officials get more lenient in enforcing the rules.  As talented as that team was, they still only really had one shooter playing, and this is one complaint I have had about Boeheims teams.  For the most part we have relied on one shooter with exception of 08-09 (Rautins and Devendorf), and 09-10 (Rautins and Johnson)

I agree offense was a lot better back then, but defense is better today.
