Hell of a season so far. Really saw a lot of potential early on. On paper we had all the tools to experiment with.

On paper we had all the distractions and excuses to under-perform. On paper we had a stubborn coach who prefers a short bench.
Some had uncertainty about our post play others had concerns about our point guard.
Even others had concerns how Joseph would rebound from last season, would he have that explosiveness and improved jump shot.

Now with the regular season closed out we have found some answers. We have a hall of fame coach and a hall of fame staff.

We have a 5th year senior point guard who really takes care of the ball while throwing as many awesome lobs as your blood pressure can handle.

We found our project at center was actually a likely first round pick and the 2nd best shot blocker in the country. Who draws more charges than any big man that matters.
.
We found that our small forward is one of the best 5 in the country. Probably the most diverse small forward out there. We found he can shoot, dunk and wow even post up better than most SF.

You can talk about 5-6 impressive characteristics and 4-5 very impressive players on this team and not even talk about our most talented player or even mention the future NBA talent coming off the bench.

Just an unbelieveable season and an almost unthinkable run of three seasons. We all knew on paper with the momentum building the last 4 years we were poised to become elite.

Now we know we are the elite amongst the elite right now.

Really has been a remarkable year
These guys bought in on D and play unselfishly
We made 3 or 4 stops today when UL could have cut it to 7 or 8 pt lead
They have done that all yr
Find a way to win and a different star every game

Glory Days...in the wink of a young girls eyes, Glory Days

But down deep the true Syracuse fan is worrying about how bad he will feel next year if we only lose 3 games.

Remember how daunting the end of the regular season looked as we saw it in December? 2 games each vs UConn (2011 Champs) and Louisville (our nemesis for the ages). And we won them all!
Did anybody think we could do that? Not only we went 30-1 but we had legitimate obstacles in our way to get there.
