gangreenman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 5-0... Well, now you're just trying to be like Villanova. Copycats! Haha. The simple truth is that thus far nobody in the nation has even close to as good of a resume as Syracuse. Oh, and I love how the Big East in a "down year" is still either the best or 2nd best conference in the nation.. 6 in the top 25 and about to be 7 now that Cinci just beat 2 top 25 teams back to back.

PS17 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Syracuse wins again tonight 85-60 vs. Columbia to move to 6-0. Wes Johnson is amazing. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he will win BE POY, and then be a top 5 pick in the draft. He already looks like an NBA player. Scary good.

I'd love to hear this explanation. 1) Flipper Shot and 2) the fact that he won't be an NBA first-rounder and may not get a contract at all and 3) No defense and 4) Takes more shots than AI... most players can score 20+ per game if they're taking 22 shots. For illustration on point 4: Scottie Reynolds took 420 shots last year on a Final Four run (38 games). Harangody took 653 shots over 34 games last season. Maybe I should compare him to another PF to be more fair: Dante Cunningham took 465 shots over 38 games last year. This year 'Gody has taken 89 shots already - Lazar Heyward is the only Big East player to come close at 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year 'Gody has taken 89 shots already - Lazar Heyward is the only Big East player to come close at 77. 1. Flipper shot? What does that even mean. He's expanded his range and has a pretty good jump shot. 2. If he doesn't get drafted in the first round that would mean every single NBA team would be making a mistake. Look how well DeJuan Blair has been doing. 3. He plays defense, he's usually just gurding guys 5 or 6 inches taller than him with big wingspans. He's almost always at a disadvantage height wise. Even so, he rebounds the ball plenty. 4. He has to take a lot of shots because he is the best player and his teammates don't usually score in bunches. They run the offense through him and it definitely shows. He does take a lot of shots, but he also makes a lot of them. He's shooting at a 53% clip right now. None of what you said makes him overrated. Tim Tebow might not get drafted in the first round of the NFL draft. Does that make him an overrated college football player?

nyjunc Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Florida beats Michigan!!! We got some players again, maybe not this year, but the Gators will be good again soon. It's about time. I knew UF would drop a bit after losing the players fromt heir title teams but thye fell off the map completely the last 2 years. That's a great win over a really good MSU team, hopefully for you guys you can build on it. 1) Flipper Shot and 2) the fact that he won't be an NBA first-rounder and may not get a contract at all and 3) No defense and 4) Takes more shots than AI... most players can score 20+ per game if they're taking 22 shots.

This year 'Gody has taken 89 shots already - Lazar Heyward is the only Big East player to come close at 77. Who cares if he is an NBA 1st rounder or not? It's about what he is doing in COLLEGE. He was BE POY 2 years ago, I think he and the program slipped last year but he's still a big time COLLEGE player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 ya, but this is the ONLY year in foreseeable future they may get is once or twice Actually if Singler sticks around(I think K will name him Captain:D) they have a good class coming in next year and they can make a run. They have Irving, Thornton, Hairston, Barnes(oops, they don't have him:D) and Seth Curry becomes eligible. I think they'll have a better chance for a deep run next year. of course next year they'll have to deal w/ a much better Heels squad but I think, for once, they'll have a legit title contending team.

gangreenman Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Syracuse actually got one pollster to put them at #1. Truth be told, no team has played better thus far, IMO. 2nd week in a row... probably the same person. But I agree that Syracuse has been the most impressive of any team so far. Yes, the only two top25 opponents they have faced so far were both somewhat overrated, but we completely dismantled both of them... Florida a week from Thursday is going to be another huge test for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 #3 Villanova Wildcats! Man, hopefully both teams can keep up their success as the season goes along through the Big East schedule...

nyjunc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The heels were great last night, a glimpse at what this young team can become if we have patience.

Drew and Ed Davis played great games last night. Probably the best I've ever seen them play. Davis is going to be an all-American at the end of the year. I agree with Dick Vitale when he said that Davis should be putting up 20 and 12 every night. Still, UNC drove me crazy with the missed free throws at the end of the game. Things might have gotten a bit more interesting if Michigan St. had secured those rebounds instead of letting Graves tip them out to Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
