Four more days until my first live look at this latest version of Orange basketball. Also my first chance in several months to meet with several SU fan friends at The Blarney Rock. I am more than curious to see how this young team will play against an upgrade in competition. Hope Silent G is actually back and in the clear of whatever kept him out of the last game. He is critical to the success of this team, as he represents like three possible sub roles and solid experience. I don't expect this team to run off 25 straight, but I hope I have the opportunity to see this team grow and challenge every team they meet down the road until they become a team other teams would rather not play at a crucial point in the season.
