I don't want to be a "Debbie Downer" but this team has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. I can't say that I see much forward progress either, of a team that is maturing and coming together as the season progresses. Really, it looks like a collection of the same issues occurring over and over. The two largest and seemingly insurmountable to date are a very stilted and stagnant offense, and a pair of bigs in Chewy and Sidibe that are, let's be charitable, less than satisfactory. And I think Boeheim's substitutions last night betrayed his desperation in trying to find a combination of players that could make something happen on offense. S'not good.
We have a week off and then it is into the meat grinder for four of the next five games- Louisville, Duke, Wake Forest (better whoop them), UNC, and Virginia.
At this point I'd have to rate us as a long-shot to make the NCAA tourney.
It has been a rough season emotionally, and I don't think it is about to get any easier.
