I was going to say the same thing as well. However, I actually think Villanueva is a better fit with that lineup than Boone.Boone started over Villanueva...
04 wins 8 out of 10...maybe all 10.
It would also depend from era are the officials.

I have my opinion, but need some healthy opinions from the crowd to support an argument with a friend.
You wouldn’t think that if Taliek guarded Newton for the 10 games.I'll go with 6-4 for 2024.
I think biggest gap between the players head to head is Newton over Taliek.
I don't know about that. Boone was a really good defender and much bigger than Karaban. But not sure how he would have guarded Karaban out on the perimeter since he never did back then. Boone wasn't much of an offensive player but that's not what he was needed for on that team.I feel like the Karaban-Boone matchup favors 2024 pretty strongly.
Taliek was a very good defender but in terms of perimeter defense he's well below the Castle Moore level of perimeter defender. Newton was first team AA and lit up Kansas with Harris who is a very similar defender to TaliekYou wouldn’t think that if Taliek guarded Newton for the 10 games.
He guarded Luol Deng in the Final 4I don't know about that. Boone was a really good defender and much bigger than Karaban. But not sure how he would have guarded Karaban out on the perimeter since he never did back then. Boone wasn't much of an offensive player but that's not what he was needed for on that team.
I usually favor the more modern athletes, but I think 04 is a terrible match up for 24. But we will never know.I don't think there's a college basketball team in the 21st century, and probably further back, that's doing that against last year's team. And 10-0? Absurd.
JC would do something insane like play a zone to neutralize Hurley's screening and motion offense.Here’s a question…Calhoun and Hurley both seem or have seemed to want to take away one key thing from what their opponent does best that really makes their engine run. What would Calhoun try to take away from the 2024 team and what would Hurley try to take away from the 2004 team in their game planning?
