much better than people thought? it was hard to find people here that weren't calling them a top 10 team with some saying they were top 5. that's why i always rip this team and call them overrated, because the fans always say stuff like that or that they are a legit title contender. they say this year after year.

are they a terrible team? no. they beat most of the teams they are supposed to beat. they lose to some bad teams and haven't beat a team that i think has any shot of going further than the sweet 16, but i do think syracuse is definitely a top 30 team. i think that's a fair ranking. not positive they should be in the top 25, but i won't argue too much on that. once they start getting called top 15, or top 10 though, that's way over the top imo.

memphis is a team that on any given night can play with most teams in the country, good or bad. not sure they can play with the absolute best teams, but they can play with most because of their defense. they can also play with teams like ark little rock because of their horrendeous offense.

yes the kansas game was in kansas city, but im pretty sure it was you that always said at the beginning of the year "the most important thing about HCA is that these kids practice there and are used to the rims and the court, not the actual fans or city". correct me if im wrong there, but you said something along those lines many times and now youre arguing that KU playing in kansas city away from their actual home court is the same? cant have it both ways.

overall i think you are being fair with your team now. you knew it wasn't smart to be playing them right now because tthey haven't played well recently, and i think you're right more times than not when saying the best play of a cuse game. i think you do overrate the talent level of this team a little bit, but overall your ranking of them has come down and i can respect that.

and you are right, even at home ville is not a bad loss. they are a great team anywhere you play. that loss to me was only considered bad because it's not a loss you have if you are trying to call yourself a top 10 team. if you're ready to say they're just top 25, then fine that's not a bad loss at all. either is really getting beat up by pitt because most top 25 teams would IMO

you are correct that is what i say about HCA, but Kansas usually plays there a few times a year, so throw in shoot arounds and what not the upper classmen on that team have had many more opportunities to get familiar with the surroundings then Syracuse done. Also fans do have some impact. Nothing major, but they do give you a nice lift and certainly don't hurt, but this is a small thing so really pointless to discuss.

As far as my ranking of Syracuse I have never been one to tout this team if I don't see fit. At the time I started the discussion with the whole top 5 thing, at the time I felt they were a top 5 team. They had the resume to back them up, and the talent to back up their resume. I also liked the balance of the team. They had an inside presence with Arinze, and a great pg in Flynn. I really didn't see anyone else in the country at that time that had as many good wins, with that talent level. They do have 3 McDonald's all americans and basically all top 40 recruits on the team. But I am always the first to say not to play this team if I don't feel good about them. I actually picked them not to cover against Rutgers, a tam they eventually covered against. I think I am very fair with my analysis of the Orange, and know this team better than almost anybody on here. I have been the first to say they are not a good team right now. You must play defense to be considered good, and until tonight they just haven't been doing that.

Bohiem always does this and I can't stand it. Whenever he has a big lead he pulls the plug WAY to early. He will start holding the ball with 5 minutes to go. Unreal, keep the pressure on them
