Are you sure you've watched THIS team THIS year?

Let's recap the losses:

Then #5 Duke - 76-71 (without Gorgui Dieng)
Then #6 Syracuse - 70-68
@ Villanova - 73-64
@ Georgetown - 53-51
@ Notre Dame - 104-101 (5OT)

Our worst loss was to Villanova (a tourney team), and we never lost by double digits.

We're deep as fukk.

Peyton Siva
Russ Smith
Chane Behanan
Luke Hancock
Gorgui Dieng

That's a damn good starting lineup...and we have subs with TONS of minutes and experience that give our guys rest and keep the legs fresh so we can keep the pressure ratcheted up:

Wayne Blackshear (6th man who has started many games this year)
Kevin Ware
Montrezl Harrell
Stephen Van Treese

I don't know who you're rooting for, but we can hang with them. Don't front like they can't surprise ya:

wth how did syracuse end up getitng blown out by 17
:blessed:

these chokers lost 3 in a row and cost me money those 3 games, dominating conference play isn't whoa to me, like i said typical elite 8 or final four flame out
nothnig wrong with that though, but o way they winning it all, when your best scorer is a chucker who struggles to shoot 40% you wont win it all

im always right

Louisville just took over that game vs Syracuse last night :wow: They were down when i turned it on at first and then just dominated the last 11/12 mins

Harrell wasnt playing around out there, they went to the 1-3-1 and tore Syracuse 2-3 apart
