And it's just an ABSURD notion to flip that around and say the same thing would have happened for UNC in the subsequent season?

I guess only UK players get better over the course of the season, or even from year to year?

Actually both UNC teams (2010-2011 and 2011-2012) had Zeller.

UNC was significantly better in 2011-2012 then they were in 2010-2011, because of player improvement. That's not something that only happens at UK.

UNC 2010-2011 beat UK by 2 points at UNC, lost by 7 in the NCAAT.

UNC 2011-2012 lost to UK by 1 point at UK. They never got to play in the NCAAT because injuries derailed our season.

There's an obvious parallel that you're clearly ignoring.

UNC was better than they were the previous year. So was UK. The two teams were EVENLY MATCHED. That's why it was only a 1-point win when they actually played. Again, at UK.


>No he was garbage.

Objectively untrue. He was the best point guard in the country, and averaged 9.8 APG - that's practically the definition of difference-maker.
