What is hunger? A desire, deep, to accomplish the task at hand. Sweat, blood, tears, all that jazz.
I think there’s a difference between schools like Clemson and schools like Syracuse when it comes to this. And I also think it’s a characteristic / trait that is very undervalued.
The expectation at a school like Clemson during Dabo’s run is that you are the best. You are expected to perform as such. It’s another day at the office.
For a school like Syracuse currently, these players have been on the other end of the spectrum. They’ve been working to climb the ladder. They’re getting up the rungs and the momentum is rolling. They can taste the top of the mountain that they’ve only been able to see from afar.
I’m not saying we win. I’m simply saying that hunger is a very strong variable. I think we all know that we’ll need our best game and maybe a couple of fortuitous bounces. But we’re here. With the opportunity in front of us.
I know we’ll come out swinging. I just hope these guys are able to feel that feeling, what a chance they have.
EAT!
