This is not a crackpot prediction. I really believe Syracuse can and will win the ACCT. How you ask? SU has played much better of late - albeit against inferior competition. The last four games don't matter much relative to the tourney except for seeding. Having comeback to earth after beating inferior opponents the Cuse will likely split the last four tough games. They will be humbled two of the last four games but the psyche of the team going into the tournament will be - "we have nothing to lose" and have the offensive talent to bring home the trophy, as good as anyone else. Don't laugh but the defense has improved and should get a little better, even without Jesse. I'm first to admit the defense has been below average. The only team Syracuse should fear is Duke, yet Duke has shown itself very vulnerable on many occasions even at Cameron and Coach K's last tourney but his team is not close to being invincible. If the shots don't fall they lost. The offense at Cuse is predictable yet fearless. My fearless prognostication is based on a timing hunch - just like the stock market (futures), and perhaps a lot of casino money. This is not pie in the sky trolling. Simply put Cuse has as good a shot as anyone to win the ACCT. I truly believe they have the best shot at 45% shot of winning the ACCT, period exclamation point. They are gearing up as a very dangerous ACCT threat. The elusive ACCT title is at hand.
