Most people here aren't looking exclusively at the score of our games to make their assessments positive or negative about what the season holds in store.   They are looking at what they believe to be the individual player's potential; improvement or lack of improvement in individual ability from last season; the way we appear to be playing the game; how Boeheim appears to be utilizing the resources he has available; our expectations for how JB will or won't be able to wring improvement out of what we are seeing - based on years of observing JB coaches teams.

Does it really pain you so much when someone looks at this team and makes a negative assessment that you have to go out and  rationalize their assessment by pointing to other teams.   Why can't that assessment just stand on its own merits or lack thereof.

When someone says we are going to be a great 3 point shooting team this year and an offensive juggernaut as a result, people don't go out and point to some low RPI team that had a night where they went 15-28 from 3 and say  Aha you must think that so and so low RPI team is going to be a NC contender.    I mean who cares what Maryland did against Rider or that Duke stuggled with Georgetown?    How is that relevant to what people see from this team.
