Just finished watching “Repeat after us” on the SECN (again). Damn near tear up every time I see it. Such a special group of players brought together by our own HOF coach. Man I miss those days.
:sadnanner:

I do tear up every time I watch it to this day.

I was aware at that time that I was witnessing a time that would never be repeated but now I realize even more just how special it was and just how far away we are from that program, those players, and that coach.
Great memories.

It seemed like we wiped everybody off the floor both years except for one nail biter each year. I'm trying to remember who they were against. Georgetown in 06/Purdue in 07 come to mind.

The 06 Georgetown game was great. 07 I can’t remember the close game. I would get so frustrated by them because it felt like in the first half they just cruised, would get down by 10 and then just dominate the second half for a 10-20 point win. Oregon and Purdue come to mind. Second half the would feed Horford and Noah and they just manhandled guys backing them down.

Lee Humphrey was the difference maker in the tourney IMO. He just crushed souls from behind the arc both years. Most complete college hoops team of all time.

I did some research and it was Georgetown that that came within 4 in ‘06. But the ‘06 team was more dominant in the tournament otherwise with an average win margin of 16, including two final four victories of 15 and 16 point differentials.

The 07 team averaged 14 points a game margin of victory, but it was largely buoyed by a 43 point 1st round win over the 16 seed. Purdue, Butler and Oregon were somewhat close with 7-8 point wins.

06 was versus much much much easier teams seed wise 14, 11, 7, 3, 11, 2

07 faced 16, 9, 5, 3, 2, 1

Good area to touch on, deuce. What if fans were kept apprised of coach's recruiting scorecard - something ongoingly revealed to us fans.?
Seems this would enhance recruiting motivation.?
Coach Nap says; "Some GatChat chap blogged out your scorecard with his negative spin. Don't make me regret hiring you. Why can't you be more like ox.?"
