let's please get a grip. Obviously, they are a very good team, and winning the Big Ten regular season title is proof of that. But their recent mediocre play is also proof that they are no juggernaut.
Many people on here are also selling Syracuse short. They beat the #1 overall seed on their home floor, and could have won the other two games against Louisville. Not to mention the win at Arkansas (undefeated at home otherwise), and the W's against Pitt and G'Town in the BET. Point is, while Syracuse has to play well to win on Thursday, let's not pretend they have to play out of their minds, or anything of the sort. IU certainly presents some matchup problems for Syracuse, but trying to matchup with our significantly taller, more athletic lineup will not be a picnic for them either. It should be a great game, and let's be prepared to enjoy it.
