Same team as ‘08 UNC but with an extra year of experience for a few guys. That team was stomped by ‘08 KU. I’d move ‘08 KU up a few spots and ‘09 UNC down a few. KU ‘08 was better imo. And they won it in a stacked Final Four with four 1 seeds.
UNLV ran roughshod on duke in 1990 in the tourney, the following year the same teams met, exact same personnel except Grant Hill was a freshman, duke won that FF rematch and the next game they won the title.
UNC lost to KU in the FF, the same exact team came back the following year to win the the title. Ed Davis was a freshman and a key contributor to that team so who's to say KU would of won the rematch or they should be rated higher just because they won the year before?
Bottom line different team different year different mindset. Results don't carry over from year to year even if the personnel is virtually the same.
