Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 3515371, member: 9355"] I should've included Adrien, you right about that, but we are talking about 2006 Adrien, not the 2009 version which was better. I consider Rudy Gay a wing, but some might consider him a frontcourt player. The 2006 frontcourt was better, and even moreso if you decide to include Gay, but the 2011 frontcourt would've held their own, the 2006 wouldn't have dominated that match up. Hell, do you remember what George Mason's undersized frontcourt did to the 2006 team? That wasn't a fluke. They certainly didn't dominate 16th seeded Albany either. If they managed to get by George Mason, I think they would've lost to Florida. The only wild card in that, is if the 2006 felt the pressure alleviated after making the Final Four, they might have played better ball. That 2006 team peaked on their win vs Villanova where they were eager to avenge an earlier loss and didn't feel the pressure-they were not playing all that great after that game as they couldn't handle the pressure of expectations. I personally think the 2011 and 2009 teams were better than the 2006 team and both of those teams would've beaten George Mason and the 2006 UConn team. [/QUOTE]
