Message: [QUOTE="Mr. March, post: 4615289, member: 12736"] You know, before this tournament i wouldnt put this team in our top 5 teams all time regardless of titles but now im second guessing that because of one huge factor. DEFENSE! This team played a level of defense in the tourney that they had not played all season even during their hot stretch in Nov-Dec. They held 4 of their 6 opponenents under 60 points!!! Miami had scored nearly 90 points in 3 games leading to the final 4 against teams that were slouches. Gonzaga was the highest scoring team in the country. They out defensed SDSU who many said was the best defensive team in the tournament. They were wrong. That being said based only on how well the teams played at their peak id have to put this team top 3 and although i put #1 2004 and #2 1999 ahead of them based on defense 2023 wouldve given both those teams a fight. I think this was the best defensive UConn team since 1990. [/QUOTE]
