Message: [QUOTE="Zooper, post: 5452918, member: 8621"] I like the optimism and agree that this year's team has more talent and should be much better than last year's team. But just comparing this year's team to last year's team does little to qualify this team are a "tournament team" much beyond the eye-test and our memory of past Syracuse tournament teams. I think that a better judge of the quality of this year's team and it's ability to make the tournament is to look at how they comare to their competition, not their past. While this too is all speculation at this point, it seems like a reasonable discussion. Comparing Syracuse to other ACC teams, particularly the teams "predicted" to make the tournament seems like a place to start. ESPN and odds makers seem to think that Duke, Louisville, UNC and NCS are likely making the tournament while Clemson, Miami, SMU and Virginia are likely bubble teams. How does SU's roster compare against these teams? [/QUOTE]
