Thinking something similar.  Throw out the offense.  We actually played a real 3 min stretch of offense at the end of the Clemson game to get us back in it.  11 points of just running and quick decisions to Donnie or getting in the paint.  That's the tape to rewatch and rewatch.

Telling Autry and his staff to install more halfcourt and run more crap when they can't run the basics this year is foolish.

This is what google AI says about our tempo.

[I]Syracuse men's basketball's adjusted offensive tempo (AdjT) is approximately [B]68.4 possessions per 40 minutes[/B], which ranks as the [B]124th fastest[/B] in the country this season. This places them in the medium-to-slow tempo range relative to the national average. [/I]

If we want to win we need to play faster.  Our guards are a mess in the slow paced slogs.  Obvi better and more physical defenses will make us play slow and keep putting us on the line, but the only chance this team has is to just run full stop 40 mins a game on both ends.  With Donnie back it should be possible.
