Taking a tangent from the JI Top 10.

Some real good match ups between what I feel are the two best non-championship yeams., 89-90 and 05-06.

Some basics on match ups.  Scott Burrell vs. Rudy Gay on the wings with Lyman DePriest and Murray Williams vs Denham and Rashad also out there.

Tate George against Marcus Williams at the point.

Sellers, Dove and against Boone and Armstrong up front.

John Gwynn against Craig Austrie off the bench.

Even had a pair of freshmen who might have liked competing against each other - Toraino vs. Adrien.

I think overall I take 89-90 just because of their defensive versatility on the wings.  I think I like George, Smitty, Burrell, DePriest, Dove and Murray taking away what Gay, Brown, Williams and Anderson could do.

05-06 has a bit of a better front court with Armstrong and Boone but Sellers had a way of not being out played.

94-95 is only other team I think could compete against 89-90 amongst non-title winning UConn teams.
I think people have forgotten how smothering the defense was on 89-90 and how versatile they were at all positions.
