Best news I've heard in a long time. Man, how I enjoyed watching Wes & Andy and that gang in 2009-10.

That's good, but with a faster game and minimal subbing, our guys will get the rubber legs even faster than they did this year.

This is a poor job of writing and reporting.

Take Boeheim's line (that we didn't push last season because opponents operate their own offense slowly against the zone) at face value, include an average number of seconds spent by opponents on offense to go with that claim, but offer no context by giving average seconds that opponents burned on offense in previous seasons?

It's a glaring omission; three seasons' of numbers related to percentage of offense generated via transition are given.

That's either a lazy effort or fear of poking Boeheim with a sharp stick. Either way, Donna should give a more complete effort and her editor should wake up.
