This team is experiencing the same sorts of losses to 2021 Miami, 2021 Notre Dame, and some 2021 bubble teams instead of Tim Duncan, Randolph Childress, Stackhouse, Wallace, Joe Smith, et alia.
I dunno, throaty. The 1994-95 team featured Cherokee Parks and Erik Meek; sophomore Capel; injured junior Chris Collins; freshmen Wojo, Ricky Price and Trajan. Looked better before the season than afterwards. Probably better than this team -- but it's close.
