Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 3488608, member: 5436"] Ok - maybe "the 2nd most overrated team of the Calhoun era" is a bit of a stretch. But for someone who has been a member for 5 1/2 years and first found this board during the 2010-2011 season, I can say that I have read dozens of posts that have said the 06 team was our best to not win a National Title. And yeah, they had a heck of a lot of individual talent, but they never reached their full potential. And in the end, although they had a gaudy record and did share the Big East regular season title, they lost in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament and then played poorly throughout the NCAA Tournament. The best UConn team to not make it to the Final Four? Not from what I witnessed. Overrated? Yes, and in all of our post season games when it mattered, by quite a bit. They should have beaten both Syracuse and George Mason when it counted, but they didn't... and furthermore they looked uninspired in the 3 post season games that they did win. I will also say I agree mostly with [USER=1522]@superjohn[/USER] about how that team would have fared with a healthy AJ Price. Not sure they would have "no doubt" won, but they definitely would have been the odds-on favorite... and I, like all of you, would have loved to have seen that team go to battle in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
