It's pretty early to say who is going to actually be great this year when comparing teams to how they were playing in the tournament in the 80s and 90s, but I think there are plenty of recent examples of teams that could hold their own with those teams. No, not even close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 5 hours ago, BGleas said: It's an interesting question. For the sake of discussion, let's take style of play and access to strength and conditioning between the 80's/90's and today out of it. I was all ready to reply in defense of Scott on this one, but then I actually went back and looked at the list of champions form the last 30-40 years. I do think there was a heyday from 1990-92. IMO, those UNLV and Duke teams are considerably better than just about any team from the last decade or so. I also think teams like the Jordan UNC teams and the Ewing Georgetown team, etc., are all-time great teams. I also think last year was a pretty down year for college basketball. I don't think that Baylor team holds up. With all of that said, I don't think there is anything all that special about teams like the '93 UNC team, the '88 Kansas team, the '95 UCLA team, or gasp, even the '87 Indiana team. There are better teams than those from 2000-present. The answer IMO is that it's a mixed bag and closer than what some of the older posters probably think, but generally I'd lean toward the more experienced teams from when even NBA players stayed 3-4 years. UM in 89 had far superior talent then teams today. I also think the Arkansas teams in the 90's were a lot more talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 4 hours ago, IUFLA said: 87 maybe, and 81 at the first of that year, but in the tournament that team won by an average of 23 ppg, and their closest call was in the NC game by 13 points against a team that had Al Wood, James Worthy, and Sam Perkins... That UK team would have lost by at least 15 to our 81 team. That Maryland team we beat by 35 had two first round draft picks. That UNC team had Perkins, Worthy and Al Wood who was there best player that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the recent UNC teams, Nova teams, 2012 UK and the Florida teams could play with any of those teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the recent UNC teams, Nova teams, 2012 UK and the Florida teams could play with any of those teams. UM had 4 1st round picks in Rice, Robinson, Mills and Caught. For the people always bring up how much more athletic today's kids are didn't care players from the 70's-90's. You act like everyone was a slow big white guy who ran out the picket fence. The play and pace was faster then than it is now. Go watch the dunk contest with guys like Jordan and Wilkins and Larry Nance. Even earlier you had David Thompson and Dr. J so those players were as athletic than any player today. Like I said yesterday the main difference is th great players don't stay more than han a year. If all of the great players today stayed 3 or 4 years then the game would be as good as it was back then. Just look at us this year if Romeo was still on the team. How different would 13-14 season would have been if Cody and Victor would have stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '81 IU team was probably closer to today's teams in terms of how it was put together. Great athleticism and one of the best point guards of all time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVille shooting was equally bad, but they only shot three FTs. Rebounds and TOs were basically even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kind of surprised the Yum Center was that empty, their fans usually pack it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
