In response to Penndemonium
I can't help but think back to the 1994 Bulls. IMHO, it was Phil Jackson's finest moment in coaching. The teamwork on both offense and defense was quite remarkable, especially after losing the best player in the game before the season began.
They didn't make it all the way (no, we've already discussed that phantom foul on Pippen over the years, not going there again) but it was the best Bulls TEAM as a team (other than some of the gritty Bulls squads in the 1970s under Dick Motta). The whole was far greater than the sum of the individual parts.
Frankly, most good Penn teams over the years have relied on the individual brilliance of certain players. I'm not sure how far this particular squad will go, but it relies far more on group cohesion than individualistic exploits.
