#5 played 29 minutes, scored 14 against Duke in the Sweet 16.

You pretty much have to include him and he could make an NBA team. Yes, he was banged up, but getting Duke in the Sweet 16 was an awful awful draw for us even though we almost won. I know they try not to have conference teams play each other in the first two rounds and the ACC had like 3 #1 seeds so the committee was stuck, but we were super close to a #3 seed without #5 getting injured during the season, heck we could have been a 2 perhaps.

You do have a point though as Bede was playing 40 minutes down the stretch some and Wilkins was getting a lot of PT. We were just not at all deep. Our Top 5 were basically all professional players and don't forget Chris Clarke (suspended), Landers Nolley and Tyrece Radford on that team though none contributed.
