It's very , very difficult to win a national championship. So many variables inviolved, including luck. There is no guarantee Mark will win a championship here.  In the end,  It really does come down to talent--- elite talent.   This is not a team with elite talent. As Jetpilot said, Chandler, Noah, and Perry would not see the floor on a team loaded with elite talent, like we had with Pitino and Calipari. Having said that,  I have loved watching those freshman play. You'e just not gonna win national titles with those guys getting significant minutes. I mean that  as no knock on them. They are fun to watch. Mark can win a Natty here but only if he can fill the roster with elite talent. At the end of the day, it comes down to having the most talented basketball players. We saw proof positive last night. Alabama is a much more talented basketball team.
