I've been wondering about this question since watching the Championship game between Nova and UNC (great game to watch).  How do you think a Syracuse vs. Villanova final would have played out, had the Orange defeated UNC?  Maybe this thread is just coming at a weird time and it will not generate much response, but I'm genuinely interested in hearing how you think the game would have gone, how it would have been played and who would have won.  Let's have it!

My response.  I honestly think Villanova would have won by double digits.  They just seemed to have the right mixture of chemistry and momentum, not matter who they were matched up again.  I think players like Jenkins and Hart are a tough matchup for the Orange, Ochefu's ability to bang around and post up would have been tough as well.  Even if 'cuse would played solid D, the lack of consistent offensive punch for the Orange I believe would have put us in a hole, scrambling in trunk monkey comeback mode to make up the deficit.  Love the Orange, but I think it's an L in the 'ship vs. Nova.

P.S. I hate this LONG wait until next season, cannot wait to see Battle, Moyer, Chukwu & maybe some mystery others suited up for March Madness and those first exhibition games (which will inevitably cost me $10+ on crappy Orange Access;)).
