Last night on ESPN, six talking heads, Tim Welsh, Bob Valvano, Miles Simon, Joe Lunardi, Dino Gaudio and Adrian Branch moderated by SU grad Anish Sharoff discussed the tournament for three hours. They were going round by round and had us playing Vanderbildt
 
Welsh has SU going all the way. Simon said our zone is going to give Vandy trouble. Branch said the problem with SU is that they don't change defenses. Valvano countered and said that's not true, Syracuse has about four variations in the zone. Gaudio said he went to a clinic of JB's. Someone asked him what kind of team gives the zone problems. Boeheim answered, one with a very athletic point guard.
 
Welsh said that in the game against Cincy, SU failed to crowd the three point line. He said you won't see that again. He also mentioned that in the latter part of the season everyone, including UConn, slowed the game down against us to have a chance of winning by keeping the game in the 50's & 60's.
 
Valvano said that Louisville had solved the Syracuse zone and beaten us 7 of the last 8 times. Anish, Welsh and Lunardi and the rest of the panel all missed that. That was true before our last two wins against the Cardinals. Please don't take away those hard fought victories!
