60. Can Kemba's Champions Overcome Villanueva's Gigantic Crew? (2011 vs. 2005)

1h 10m | May 11, 2021

Kemba Walker's 2011 national champions and Charlie Villanueva's 2005 Big East regular season champions provide a striking contrast in style. On one side you have an unexpectedly talented, extremely young team that emerged as national champions seemingly out of nowhere. On the other side you have a group physically comparable to the Monstars who set out to defend their title and ultimately fell short.

It's no question which of these teams would win in a popularity contest, but if you stop and think for more than a moment, do we really know which of these teams would come out on top? That's the question Tim Fontenault and I will set out to answer as we discuss the 2011 and 2005 teams in our 4 vs. 13 matchup.
