Yes, my team is loaded again this year; in fact, they're probably more
loaded than Duke... and they have only one McDonald's AA. McDonald's
AA isn't the be-all-end-all in talent evaluation; it's more of a
guessing game. We know a lot more about these players now than we did
when had only HS and AAU to go on. If that's all you have to go on to
pick on Coach K, then that's pretty weak. The results speak for
themselves. That being said, Jim Calhoun has done a fabulous job with
the UConn program. Why can you not be satisfied with that?

Duke could make the Final Four with this bunch, but then again George
Mason made the Final Four with their bunch. No team, this year,
"should" make the Final Four. Every #1 seed will have tough
#2 and #3 seeds in their bracket.
