years from Rose's credentials (which again, I fail to see why should ever be a relevant argument), automatically assumes we wouldn't have won a tourney game those 2 years when it's possible we could have. It's an unknown, esp bc in this hypothetical scenario w no Jimmer we would have a scholarship available and scoring need.

So we wouldn't have found Jimmer, but the whole mix would be different and likely still a strong team like his Cummard/Plaisted teams.

Clearly Jimmer was a massive difference maker and willed us to those 3 victories.
