The way I'm seeing it, the only reason why we have a chance to win this one is because this team is much better at [B]rebounding [/B]than the Boeheim teams were that lost to Dixon in the past.  If we can dominate on the boards, we have a good chance.

Of course, defending the three will be a big part of it.  This hasn't been one of our strengths this year, but we have shown against some of the better 3 pt. shooting teams that we [I]can [/I]get it done if Tyus and Frank are determined...

The third reason I see is that this year's team---compared to past Boeheim teams---has shown that it can succeed in the "rock fight" games that always seemed so problematic in the past.  (In fact, it seems to be the only way we can defeat the better teams on the schedule).  Instead of being frustrated by the rock fight type of game, this team seems to embrace it.

Fourth, if the refs can shut down the 'clutch and grab' defense that Dixon prefers, we will definitely have a chance to win.

This is such a young team.  Will they be able to pull it off in spite of their inexperience?  Well, they just might...

If the guys show up mentally locked in and determined to play their best game of the season so far, I believe they can pull it off.

Hoping for another glorious upset NCAAT victory for the Cuse...
