I wish I could be there but I have a family Christmas to go. That 2000-2001 team should have won it all. A more experienced Self as coach and they would have won it all.

That team was so deep, but college basketball was so deep at that time too.

Look at the Zona team that year

Richard Jefferson, Loren Woods, Luke Walton, Gilbert Arenas,Michael Wright, Jason Gardner

We never should have been in same bracket as Arizona though. I say Iowa St or UNC, but whatever

ANyone going?

I didn't get to see the Flyin Illini' , I think the 01 team was best team I have ever seen. Even better than the 05 team, as great as that team was, they had nothing inside besides Augustine and Powell

The 01 team was deeeeeeep

I’ve said it before, and I still believe it. Self would have won more national titles if he’d stayed at Illinois.

According to Wikipedia (could easily be wrong, obviously) Self only makes 4 million a year. That can’t be right. He had to be making that 10+ years ago.

People criticize Self for his lack of success in the tourney, yea he's had bad losses but hasn't every coach?

It took 14 seasons of coaching for Self to win the national title which is sooner than Coach K, Dean Smith, Jim Boehiem, Jim Calhoun,John Calipari.

Guy had made it to at leats the sweet 16, 12 out of 23 times.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament is all about matchups. More than any other sport, basketball can be dominated by 1 player who can do everything (e.g., no goalie, pitcher, back row rules, etc.). Self deserves sh*t (and the Lute Olson award) for having several highly ranked, high seed & "loaded" rosters choke early in the NCAA Tournament. He's not alone in that regard. 

Dean Smith is the only one who was able to hold Michael Jordan under 20ppg. Given all the talent that Smith recruited to UNC, he definitely underachieved in terms of national championships. How his 1983-84 team -- featuring MJ, Sam Perkins, Kenny Smith & Brad Daugherty -- didn't win it all defies explanation. IMO, that is the best college men's basketball team never to win the national championship.

Indiana beat North Carolina in the 1984 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Bob Knight was a much better coach than Dean Smith.

Walter Young




I remember him from the football team (had a TD ruled incomplete vs #1 Ohio State) but I have no recollection of him playing basketball.

On a team as stacked as that I’m surprised they’d even need him as a practice body.  Wasn’t Arch, Damir, Lucas enough?
