Nah. Every team has a weakness. UC04 beats both those teams by double digits. I think Nova`18 gives us the better game but they better be hot from 3 and not missing a thing because if they do its two going the other way because neither one of those teams is outrebounding UC04 and they will have trouble attacking the basket. Also i forgot to mention one of the greatest coaches and gameplanners in the games history will be on our sideline.
very true about Calhoun's game planning. In some ways he was ahead of his time as his really good or great UConn teams, committed to defense (the 2006 was not committed to defense), knew how to defend the 5 out and 4 out/1 in offenses (99 Gonzaga, 2004 Vanderbilt) well. UConn 2004 could also play the 4 out/1 in offense as well with OK4 in the center, Villanueva, Brown, Anderson, and Gordon, which they did at certain points in many games.
I guess Pomeroy would have to weigh in, but I'm not sure that ratings from one season are necessarily comparable to other seasons. A lot of statistical systems like Massey and Sagarin compare teams and results from their season to one another. Those rankings would be relative to the other teams that played that season, not any other season. Pomeroy's system is different, but I still think it has roots in comparisons between common results in the season.
