I respectfully disagree... partially.

Yes, without seeing them live, real meaningful game time, it's hard to say what to expect. If game 1 opens up and JJ is getting into the lane and scoring at will, Lampkin is rim running and punishing smaller guys on O, Bell is hitting everything inside of 30 feet, etc... of course, up those expectations. I'm with you there. Or, if the opposite happens, tamper them down.

Here are the two things I'd say:

1) I would assume that if we had Duke's roster (or insert any top 10 team's roster), our expectations would be high. Final Four/Elite Eight, etc etc. I don't think you would be waiting to see them play before making that call.

2) My second one is more of being a Syracuse fan at this point ---- at what point is it ok to have expectations of literally just making the tournament?  That's it. I get we don't have an all world roster. I get we may only have one NBA guy on this team for this year. I'm not asking for the S16. But at what point is expecting to make the tournament ok before seeing the team play in live games? Truly - because I don't think it's outrageous to expect that this year.
