Agree with a lot of that; it's too bad that our best defensive guard combination gets so little court time.

The use of McCullough at center is the strangest thing I've seen in a lifetime of watching Syracuse basketball. In no universe can this be successful. He tries hard, but he's not a center. And he's about as strong as Billy Celuck. It's difficult to believe that this gives us the best chance to win, today or in March. A team needs two centers. McCullough can't become one.

Christmas...yikes. There's a big difference in his productivity when he's able to post up 3 feet away and when he's pushed out to 8 or 9 feet. He's still got the bad habit of fading away and making shots harder than they should be. And the release isn't consistent. It'd be good to see him kick the ball out of doubles and triples; he's a good passer and I know he's capable. And can't we run something that frees him up? Great high pick and roll to start the game, then I don't think we saw it again. Not a great game for him, though it's nice to see him stay active on defense while everything is chaotic around him.
