Maryland head coach Kevin Willard compared this season’s Alabama team to the mid-1990s Kentucky team that featured Antoine Walker and Walter McCarty.
Willard said it was the 1993 Kentucky team, but he meant the 1995 and 1996 teams.
“The is the most talented roster I’ve seen in college basketball since the ’93-94 Kentucky team,” Willard said.
Here is an excerpt:
“This is the most talented roster I’ve seen in college basketball since the ’93-94 Kentucky team,” Willard said Friday. “I think Coach Pitino’s ’93 – with Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty – this team reminds me of that team with the length, athleticism, how unselfish they play, very similar point guards.
“… You can’t focus on (Miller). He didn’t score last night, and they scored 96 points. Like, I haven’t seen that, and that’s why I think this team reminds me of that ‘93-94 team. They had guys that, if one guy didn’t play well, they had two All-Americans coming off the bench.”
