Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 182054, member: 716"] Which is what I would say about Syracuse relative to Butler in 2010. It's crazy that this "we had no shot without AO" theme has gotten such play around here. We'd had two weeks to practice and win two games without him (putting on an offensive clinic against Gonzaga). We were favored over Butler. Everyone on this board that Wednesday and Thursday was predicting a 25-point Syracuse win. And we played our worst game of the year and still led by four with under 4:00 to play. Fast-forward two years and the idea is that we lost to them because we had an injured player. Butler was beatable that night and we gave that game away. Not sure why we get some kind of pass because our starting center got injured two weeks before. [/QUOTE]
