The '97 team lost because of Pitino's fatal mistake of not playing someone that was medically cleared to play. I see that as a huge coaching mistake, it was'nt because of the lack of talent.

We have the talent this year, he just can't get them to work together....

32-4, 27-5 and 28-6....a ton of talent, but nothing to show for it except two losses to Conference USA and one to the Big Ten in the Big Dance....

Yeah we have some good talent, but we also start:
1 Senior
1 Junior
3 Sophs

That's a young team...4 of 5 starters will return next year not to mention the PF we've missed so much in Perry Stevenson and perhaps Phil Jones...

Yeah some bad losses in the big dance those years, but I also see an undefeated SEC season and tournament and two Elite 8 appearances with tough losses to a great Marquette-Dwayne Wade team, and a tough loss in OT to Michigan State who had beat Duke to get to us...
