Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I found the games in Honolulu to be pretty much what many of us expected.  Two very difficult games against very good teams that would and did expose our weaknesses.  The first half of the Tennesse game was as good a half as I have seen Syracuse play in a few years. I thought our D was exceptional.  We played extremely hard that game and we were in the game with less than 4 minutes left.  I considered it an excellent effort.  The Zags had us from the opening Tip and the kids seemed lethargic and played poorly.  
Chaminade was as Bill Walton said just what you need when you need to get well.  Can't take much from that game other than I really liked how Judah played. He actually looked like a PG for once. Did an excellent job distributing and getting guys involved. 
This team has talent but we lack some very important tools. Namely top notch forwards.  Benny and Bell are ok and i do think they will improve as the season goes on. They will never be game changers and their ceiling is limited.  They and that position are the weak link that will hold us back against top teams.

I thought that Red did well. His substitutions for the most part worked, and the kids played hard. I like that he is being tough on Benny, and it is obvious that he had a chat with Judah about what he expects out of a PG.

We will finish above 500 and possibly make the dance.  We need forwards and another shooter both of which signed a few days ago.  This will be a fun year one that I believe will have us back on a good path.

Looking forward to next week's games.

Go Cuse!
