The best starting team does not necessarily always win Championships (we know that all too well on both sides).  At UConn we've had some formidable starting teams.

I know a lot of youngun's won't know about the beginning but that 1989-90 squad was to me the best starting 5 [U]collectively[/U].  They played defense that has never been duplicated.  We had an offense to match.  Perhaps no superstars outside of Smitty, (had 3 NBAers) but teamwise this 5 could have beaten any UConn team.  They played so well together (chemistry) with such exciting games.  They just beat every giant in their way, and was the beginning of our blood color change.  Also this team set up our culture going forward.

Beat this team, you better have a minimum of 2 starting point guards.  Admittingly Rod is my only concern.  [B]One game - everyone is playing A game, bench players do not count.[/B]
