I think the issue is not that we lost and only have two losses on the season, but that this was an indicator game. We haven't played well, consistently, for a long stretch of games. We haven't shot well in back to back MSG/BET games. We're not hot. And, going into the NCAAs, and likely to face a hot team, we've got some issues.
 
Our problems are glaring. We're 31-2, but not playing like a 31-2 team. That's the scary bit. The other scary bit is that i'm not seeing 'end of college career' play from Joseph or Jardine, and Melo seems to have some unwarranted confidence - in both his passing and his jumper. Oh, and the defense has been less than impactful. But, that's all.
 
Credit to Cincy. Cronin's zone had more of an impact on us than ours had on them. And, they neither play it much nor do they play it with all the great 'length' we supposedly need... Credit to Cincy for scheming and executing
 
Demerits to SU. We always seem to take so much for granted. We don't play 'hard' until we get pushed. Tonight, we didn't have enough. It's just so frustrating to see us try to 'turn it on.' It should have been 'on' from the jump. Nothing is a given, and everyone else 'wants it' more than we do.
