The 1997 Arizona Wildcats. The team that knocked both Carolina and then Kentucky off in the FF, also beat a Roy Williams led Kansas team in the Elite 8. Kansas was in my opinion the vest team in the country and Roy's best team at his 1st stop.
Arizona was dominated by the best guard Corp in the country. Miles Simon, Mike Bibby, Jason Terry were all 3 future long time NBA players. Michael Dickerson was a powerful high scoring wing, and Eugene Edgerson was a defensive and rugged young bench piece.
Zona rotated 3 very young frontcourt players that basically rebounded and defended without being set up within the offense. A.J. Bramlett, Bennett Davidson and Donell Harris were not thought of much like our unheralded frontcourt this season.
I like this team, and their ceiling. I think the 2 keys to the season are Jalen Washington and Cade Tysen. I think Tysen finishes games at the 4 spot each night, the question for me is does Hubert go all in with the small lineup from opening tip?
Never in my lifetime has a starting 5 been so up in the air going into a season.
I think this will be fun to see how it all plays out.
