None of this makes any sense.
 
#2 Syracuse isn't that good because they didn't blow out #12 Georgetown.
 
Georgetown [I]is[/I] really good because they almost beat Syracuse at home.
 
Which is it? Is Georgetown really good? If Georgetown is really good and Syracuse beat them even though they got outrebounded by a large margin wouldn't that mean that Syracuse is really good?
 
If Georgetown isn't that good, why are they on the cusp of the top ten? I'm guessing that they've beaten some pretty good teams at some point this season, no?
 
Syracuse won that game against a tough team on a night when they were owned on the boards and only Melo and Joseph came to play. And hasn't that been the argument FOR Syracuse all season? That they are deep enough that a few guys can have off nights because odds are all of them won't?
 
Stupid.
 
JB has said that part of the reason the team gets outrebounded is because they don't position themselves for the rebound, they position themselves for the transition bucket by staying out on the wings. what the team lacks in the rebounds they usually make up for in steals. Granted that you don't want to have that much of a discrepency in the numbers but that's part of the reason.
