Derek Anderson if I'm not mistaken started on this team, as did Walter McCarty. Mercer wasn't that big of a contributer on this team, but besides him you had Jeff Shepard, Wayne Turner, Allen Edwards. A lot of people also forget that most of these guys (just like this team) had to give up a lot of their game for the better of the team. I say the 96 team beats the 12 team, but that's just my opinion. The 96 team had to beat a Tim Duncan led Wake Forest team followed by a Marcus Camby led UMASS team. I think they could've gotten the job done against Anthony Davis as well.
