It is amazing to me to see how many idiots there are reporting for national media outlets nowadays.

Many, many people were angry and upset that they had to watch the style of basketball that was on display during our game.

Instead of crediting a team for having a superior defensive game plan and playing to its (few) strengths, you have Nicole Auerbach & Dana O'Neil openly complaining on Twitter that this is too ugly to watch.

Well, I have some news for you: It works. And it wins. And that's the bottom line of the game. How about appreciating that the defense on display is some of the best in the country, zone or man. I'm sure if it was Virginia playing a 40-minute rock fight, people would laud Tony Bennett as being so damn good and so damn smart.

Yet we have Gene Wojciechowski saying things like "This is what I've seen from teams "attacking'' the Syracuse zone this tournament: pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, dribble a little, pass, pass...oh, holy crap, we've got to jack a shot up now!"

Like it's the easiest thing in the world to play against, on two days notice.

Sorry for the rant. Just super annoying and frustrating to see all of these outlets give no credit to Boeheim when this is one of the top coaching jobs he has ever done with one of the least talented teams he's ever had.
