re: Mike's "Most Experienced Team Ever"...

If not for the refs we beat unc that year as well.

If that had not happened (we were clearly robbed in that game), Mike would have most likely had his Sweet Sixteen and a rematch with a Kentucky team we had just gone to the wire with in a heated,physical game.

And we would still be having this exact same bullshite happening on our boards today except instead of the argument being "no Sweet sixteens", it would be "no elite eights" instead.

That was a very good team. And they took a step backwards themselves the next season as it became the Jalen Barford and others show.

ETA: Actually, the way I see it is that the "No Sweet Sixteen" argument doesn't even hold water to begin with. Arkansas beat that North Carolina team fair and square.
