5-0 in title games is Powerball winning stuff.

A couple of those I remember they had no business winning, Kentucky a decade ago for 1.


They beat that Duke team that had Trajan Langdon, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, and Shane Battier. Might have been one of the top 3 Duke teams ever. UConn is nails in the final, like LSU baseball was.

Was an elite Duke team. UCONN that year was better. Wasn't luck they beat that Duke team. Was the clash everyone wanted from about midpoint of the season. Rip Hamilton, El-Amin, Voskhul, defensive wizard Ricky Moore and a slew of athletic wings/big guys that gave good minutes. Duke more talented, UCONN the better team.
Calhouns recipe of dominant lead guards, athletic shooting wings and a bunch of bigs that rebound and intimidate around the goal still works. Biggest difference is that the bigs can shoot now.
