Flaws and uncharacteristic errors too much to overcome

March 10, 2012 Robbie Gillies

Syracuse has battled through a lot of adversity this year. I’m not even talking about the various scandals. I’m talking about on the court. Certain players have gone through dismal stretches. They’ve been out-rebounded, out-hustled, shoot poorly from the free throw line, struggled offensively, but they have always found a way to win nearly every time. Against Cincinnati they certainly had their chances but some glaring faults they’ve had all season combined with uncharacteristic play was just too much to overcome.

Newfound depth bodes well for tournament

I’m tired of every analyst saying what Syracuse has to do or what they have to fix to win. This team is as unique as any in recent memory and while they do have a couple big issues with a mediocre half-court offense and sub-par rebounding, it’s clear by their 31-1 record that these don’t necessarily have to be fixed for the Orange to win.
