If were going to make a run

Maybe we will if JB plays today's starting five. The first half had all the hallmarks of good Syracuse basketball!

Although SB appears to be a bad basketball team this year, I'll agree that our flow on O was much better with Dolezaj in the starting lineup. We got off to one of our better starts in a long time, and our D was better as well. I like how MD tries to get position vs. our other bigs just attempting to swat, while out of position...usually fouling to boot.

It really is quite astonishing how poor our recruiting has been at the 5 and having to place a 180 lb MD there because of it. He should be at the 4, especially with his ability to hit the mid-range along with an occasional 3. Come ACC play, it will much more difficult for MD to be as effective due to his slender frame, but I imagine he will be playing at the 5 a lot since our other options at the 5 are seemingly pitiful for an alleged elite program as SU's.
