Message: [QUOTE="Dogbreath2U, post: 2095371, member: 42"] Yep, a whole lot of talent on that roster. If I would pick one team for the best overall roster with the best overall play during one season, I would be torn between 98-99 and 03-04. Here are the usual teams nominated as the best ever at UConn. [B]Which one do you think was the best group that played during that year (not including what a player might later have become)? I know this is a bit of a hijack, but what the hell. [/B] '99: KEA, Moore, Rip, Freeman, Voskuhl, Jones, Saunders, Wane, Mouring, Klaiber, and Harrison. '04: Taliek, Ben, Rashad, Denham, Okafor, Boone, Charlie, Hilton, Marcus Wh., Tooles, (Marcus W.) '94: Ollie, Doron, Donyell, Donny, Ray, Hayward, Knight, King, Fair, Willingham '90: Tate, Chris, Burrell, Henefeld, Sellers, Gwynne, Cyrulik, DePriest, Murray Williams, Macklin, (Pikiell) '06: Marcus W., Rashad, Denham, Rudy, Hilton, Boone, Austrie, Adrien, Nelson, Garrison '09: AJP, Dyson, Stanley, Adrien, Thabeet, Kemba, Austrie, Edwards, Beverly, Haralson I would go with '99. Such a smart team and the subs really contributed at a high level. Saunders played really well for a first year player (he was a soph), Wane gave some very good minutes, and Mouring was a great spark off the bench. This team played great team defense and Ricky Moore was a devastating defensive stopper that year, shutting down one big-time scorer after another. Voskuhl was just a great position defender, smart helper, great outlet passer, and the best screener in the Calhoun era by a mile. Rip and KEA were a deadly scoring duo and KEA was always ready to make the critical basket to stop a run or preserve a lead. They played great defense without a real shotblocker. [/QUOTE]
