But, Bayside, what fun would that be?

Surely you realize that for many of the critics on here, including some self-confessed "basketball experts:, the fun here is all about demonstrating their smarts.

It's frustrating for them to sit there and watch the Orange lose because they are sitting there in their den being able to see what the answer is.

"Cooney's gassed. they say, "It's Boeheim's fault for not having more than a six or seven man rotation.?

"So," they continue, "If Boeheim played more guys he wouldn't have to leave gassed players on the court and Cooney would have had enough gs left in the tank to get a hand in Arci's face."

Of course, the critic is guessing at Cooney's gas level. And he certainly doesn't really understand why those 8th and 9th guys are not getting more playing time. Nor does he know what the score at the end of the game would have been if the 8th and 9th player had gotten significant minutes.

This is a team that has not jelled yet. It contains some very good players many better than what we are used to seeing in Orange. But they don't play well together yet.  Playing 8 or 9 or 10 guys doesn't seem like the recipe for solving this problem. There are an increasing number of instances look like good team play. But still not enough.

Two weeks ago the conversation on here was whether we would win 29 or 30 games this year supported by lots of logic. The question now ought to be can a team be created that allows SU to win the majority of the ACC games.
