Florida,

If the Florida team is the closest resemblance to Texas it maybe a good sign for the Horns- 2 years later the Gators won back to back titles.

The Duke team was a sweet 16 team and lost in the finals the next year.

NC was on the way down with Matt Doherty coaching.

I think that Texas is closer to Duke and Fla in talent. They will eventually learn how important hustle is on every play and practice. I expect a final four run or two during the next 3-4 years.
