#1:  The offense must run through Tyler Lydon.  Up until last game Lydon had done one thing...set picks for the guards to free them up for shots.   This lead to AW3 taking 20 shots a game...if he continues to take this many shots we will continue to lose.  Lydon must take 12-15 shots per game for this team to be successful.

#2:  Defense, defense, defense.  The new guys must learn how this zone operates.  I was at the Cornell game and for the first time this year noticed a change on the defensive side...guys being in the right spots, attacking shooters, etc.   Btw, our zone is much better when Roberson is in because his defensive positioning is probably the best on the team.

#3:  Taurean Thompson:  This guy is dynamite inside.  Great footwork and passing skills that are off the charts.   If we can get he and Lydon on the same page consistently it will lead to an extremely efficient inside game and open up things for the shooters on the outside.

All this being said, I still don't know what to make of this team.  They are so talented and so lost at the same time..which is very rare to say about a JB team.   Practice can only help this team so hopefully four days of instruction will continue to get them on the same page.

Sadly this year's squad could finish with a record of 12-18 or they could go on a historic run and win the NCAA title.   I've been a Syracuse fan since 1982 and have never seen a team like this.

Thoughts?
