That Duke team was supremely talented, as was that Arizona team. Jason Williams was incredibly athletic. Battier, Dunleavy, Boozer, Duhon all still play in the NBA. And Nate James was a solid player. <br /><br />Kyrie Irving is as talented as Williams, but obviously not as good with the injury this season. Nolan Smith is as talented as Duhon but just had a bad night last night. The current team is deeper. But I'd take Boozer and Dunleavy easily over the current roster. <br /><br />Coach K stopped recruiting a lot of those talented players because they leave early. The Singlers and Plumlees of the world can't guard a Williams from Arizona or a Sullinger from OSU.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955054735802185726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396516873281462306.post-77947336794288870782011-03-25T15:59:36.760-05:002011-03-25T15:59:36.760-05:00Arizona is a better team than Duke and Duke was al...Arizona is a better team than Duke and Duke was also fighting fate. Arizona has a habit of making deep tourney runs when no one expects them to. Then they usually don’t perform up to expectations in the seasons when they are expected to go deep in the tourney. This team’s run reminds me of the ’97 team that caught everyone by surprise. I feel bad for UConn; I think they have no answer for Arizona’s talent. <br /><br /><br /><br />http://theresastatforthat.blogspot.com/2011/03/arizona-always-comes-out-of-nowhere.htmlDRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335978992693050863noreply@blogger.com
