If I am doing the math right (and we can't assume that after my comment above!), LBJ's Zips could have faced UConn, the champion of what would have been his freshman year. Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Pretty solid. They beat Jarrett Jack and Will Bynum's Georgia Tech team in the final.
The LBJ-less Zips were 13-15 that year with Derrick Tarver, Romeo Travis, Drew Joyce and Matt Futch. WMU rep'd the MAC in the tournament.
