Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5211850, member: 175"] I’ve beaten this one to death over the years - but the 2006 team is a myth. We limped into the postseason and never stopped limping. We were tied with a sub .500 Louisville team with a minute to go at home in the finale. Then lost to Syracuse in a 1-8 game in the big east quarters. Then were down 12 to Albany in a 1-16 game. Then barely beat a pedestrian Kentucky team. Then needed a miracle to beat Washington. Then lost to George Mason. They just weren’t that good. Rudy was the only guy who stuck in the NBA … and he wasn’t all that great a college player really. Some of it is that he really didn’t have a true alpha role with the veterans around him - but 15 ppg on 32 percent 3 point shooting with a negative assist to turnover ratio is kinda meh. He wasn’t ever going to carry us. A healthy and unsuspended AJ Price as a sophomore may have changed things. [/QUOTE]
