Jay,
I hate to point out an obvious flaw with your Fab Five analogy, but (with apologies to Michigan fans), at least a contributing factor in Michigan’s loss to Duke in the finals that year (ok, the main reason Michigan blew it) was Chris Webber’s inexplicable time out call in crunch time when Michigan was out of time outs. Did talent trump experience in that game? Or did an inexperienced but supremely talented player wilt under pressure? Is Sarah Barracuda another C-Webb or is she more Christian (pronounced “Christine” by Raquel Welch in one of my favorite ESPY moments) Laettner?
