02-03 Horns vs. 07-08 Horns (basketball)

PB noted this in a thread, but this is the best a UT basketball team has played since TJ Ford's sophomore year.  Will this year's team go farther?  Well, we have to grow a lot first, and we shouldn't act like wins against UCLA and Tennessee mean we'll definitely get there.  However, no one can argue that this team doesn't have the same caliber of potential as that team.

My two cents, the edge in each important category for final four teams:
Ability to slow down other team's runs: so far, 02-03
Rebounding: 02-03
Depth: 02-03
Scoring: 07-08
Defense: ?
Point Guard: Wash? (I'm happy to say that)
Outside Shooting: 07-08 (barely)
Star Power: 07-08 (AJ qualifies as a second star because defenses have to adjust to play him)
Rebounding: 02-03
Free-throw shooting: 07-08
Athleticism: wash
Clutch time: ?
Hair gel: 02-03
