Then TRob and Tyshawn weren't very talented outside of those two, but mother****er that was a good team. They'd beat anyone any time any place. **** everybody. Those guys won. Until they hit that UK team.
I imagine the 07 team with the same guys less Sherron is somewhere in the top 4. Maybe you can mix them in with the 08 team but they probably would have won the whole thing if UCLA didn't get a home game with refs that allowed rugby.
Then I think you can look at this team. Maybe we're underrating these guys because they won the best conference in the nation by 2 games and have been playing damn fine basketball for a long time now. I think some of it is that guys like Selden, Greene, and Graham will blow the **** up one night and then disappear for a few games. It's hard to say they're as good as TRob and TT because those guys did it every game. Mostly because that's all KU had to work with. This team has enough pieces that can beat you at any time. If they were all clicking all the time they may have never lost but this is a good team. Just not the same as the others, he'll not necessarily the same game to game.

This is a very good assessment of Self's teams. This current team being so deep is going to give the 08 team a good run for their money. But 08, current, then so on.
FWIW, I mentioned after the OU 3 OT game that I felt this team was going to win it all.
