they were playing with scrubs at Kansas/Duke. On the other hand, UConn may not have been as star-studded, but they played like a team and won March Madness.
The Spurs don't have a transcendent player currently, but they easily won the NBA championship.
This is a huge reason why I'm so high on the LP3 making deep runs come March Madness. Not only are they each so talented individually, but they've been playing together for years and years, so they already have an on-court chemistry that most teams won't.
