Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 141714, member: 485"] Great debate to have -- two teams that had long win streaks to start the season, got ranked #1, played the right way. The 2009-10 team is my pick, because we all know that unless AO goes down in the BET, we make the final four and have a NC opportunity. It had everything except stellar PG play. This current team has better guard play (despite not matching Andy Rautins in shooting) and that can make a big difference in tight games and tournaments. It is also younger, with emerging stars (Dion and Melo) who have the chance to get better month to month. That 2009-10 team was simply outstanding in November and had mature leadership (AO, Wes and Andy) and dominance on the defensive glass (Rick). Both teams had exceptional #6 and #7 talent, but this team goes deeper with Keita and Southerland. The edge goes to 2009-10 -- unless Melo gets a lot better by March. And he just might. [/QUOTE]
