I will die on the hill the 12-13 squad could’ve won the whole thing if Larkin was 100% against Marquette. That team was so well constructed.

I don’t know that we could have won the whole thing. We were so undersized. But I do think we could have made it to the final four.

I’m so superstitious and blamed myself because I ended up in the ER that night and kept trying to watch the game on my phone, but of course I had to go out for tests and missed a bunch of it. Was certain we lost because of me. 🤣

Kadji, Reggie (maybe hurt during that game? I’ve tried to scrub it), and Gamble gave us plenty of interior size, and Scott, McKinney-Jones, and Brown were more than enough on the perimeter imo. I don’t think there was a 2024 UConn type matchup that would eventually kill us with size, but oh well. I loved that team so much lol

That game was during my senior spring break and I didn’t watch from my normal spot. I blamed myself too lol

Yeah, I just looked back and the championship was between Louisville and Michigan, so you might be right about us being okay. I’m old so the years start running together.

And I do remember Reggie being injured a lot too, but don’t remember exactly when. Also loved that team so much!

I agree. Also, the 2002 squad with a different coach and a little more depth could have made a deep run. That was one of our best starting lineups. Darius Rice, John Salmons, James Jones, Elton Tyler, Marcus Barnes. Unfortunately Perry Clark was the coach and we had 1-2 serviceable bench players.

Also, the 2018 team was primed to make a run. If Loyola doesn't make that shot, the bracket was wide open. Also, totally different story if Bruce Brown plays in the NCAAT.

Reggie missed the first like 15+ games of the season and then missed the Sweet 16 game that Larkin had the flu in.

I was 7 so I don’t have much memory of that lol

McClinton made me like Miami hoops. The 12-13 squad made me love it.

Was going to say something similar. That one still hurts. That team had what it takes to win it.

Elton Tyler was my boy! We used to hang out in the dorms. Super nice dude.

100% agree with all of this. Also always wonder how things would have gone if Leonard Hamilton hadn’t gone to FSU.
