Message: [QUOTE="Gonzo, post: 146164, member: 814"] So the common thread, other than the absence of higher profile road games, seems to involve a perception that we don't pass the "sniff test" with our skeptics. It is almost like Billy Beane and his more objective analysis versus the traditional scouts who based much of their evaluations on "the Look" of players in Moneyball. Now, with Kentucky there are likely more future pros on the Wildcat roster but with clearly less experience than SU. But with Ohio State, other than Sullinger as a dominant player, is there anyone on the Buckeyes roster who is heads above our top top players? Perhaps UNC has a better balance of apparent pros in the making and experience but they haven't exactly been a juggernaut so far this year. I would have no argument with anyone who says that we are equal contenders for the Championship as these three teams but just cannot see how some assert we are a notch below them. [/QUOTE]
