Message: [QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 193860, member: 742"] That was interesting, newmexicuse. Thanks for posting. I quoted the above point because while we may not like it as Cuse fans, it seems like your friend's opinion that SU is not a slam dunk Final Four team is shared by Boeheim himself. From SWC75's recap of [URL='http://syracusefan.com/threads/the-coachs-show.18184/']the coach's show[/URL]: [COLOR=#000000]“I think people over-rate us. There’s 7-8 teams that can give us a big problem: Kentucky, Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, Michigan State, UNC. We’re not showing right now that we are prepared to beat those teams. Georgetown and West Virginia are just OK compared to them and they gave us a big problem. We are presently not able to compete for a national championship. We have to get better.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]It's possible Boeheim is sandbagging and engaging in coach speak, but I think he's usually honest about evaluating his team when he speaks publicly.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
