I definitely agree that no matter how good a team is (even UGA 2007),
winning the NCAAs is never easy. Everyone gets pushed at some. I also agree with you about UCLA. They don't really have a true #1 player, but everyone #1-5 is very solid. The problem UCLA presents is that with everyone seemingly close in talent level (and ranking), they can Shuffle (not quite the Stack of last year) their guys around to get matchups against certain teams. It remains such a joke that they sacrificed (I mean played) Thompson at #1 last year in the Conference tournament and NCAAs. |

Dubs point will be a lot more valuable this year without an automatic like SJ -- PTWahoo14 Thu Jan 24 2013 10:49:12 AM |
