Didn't y'all make the final four in 2006?
Yes. This team is much deeper than that team.
It would be premature to say that this team is better than that one. However its certainly deeper and possibly more talented but its in different spots. 2006 had big baby and tyrus down low. Dmitch, temple and taz were solid players 1-3 but IMO Tim Q, Antonio Blakeny, sampson, Hornsby, gray, Patterson are far better. Simmons is living up to his billing and is playing the 4/point forward role he has the height to get rebounds we will see how he defends against true post guys. Elbert has shown progression but we really need victor to be solid and hold down the 5.
Its early but in todays game I think we will do quite well.

They might be better, but I think you're being swayed by recency bias and are forgetting how good the Mitchells were. Temple and Lazare were solid players as well. That team may not have been as deep as this one, but that was a very solid first 6 guys.
This team is also built on youth, and that can cause some struggles. I mean look at how much talent UK had in 2012 and then in 2013 before finally getting it together in the tournament in the latter year.
