The crazy thing about this team is that I can't tell if we have no hope of hitting .500 or if we are just about to be pretty good. I think we can all agree, this has looked like the worst Syracuse team in memory and in reality it might very well be that. However, they really were one play away from beating both Michigan and Villanova on the road. Both of those games took almost impossible screwups (multiple screwups) for us to lose. I did not see the St. John's game so I can't speak to that.

But as close as we were yesterday and against Michigan, we have seen enough of the team to know that those collapses weren't totally unexpected and were exactly within character for this team. As I said before the Nova game - we're too broken to win right now even with stellar play from a few guys - that is exactly what we saw yesterday. The question is whether they figure out how to eliminate that last couple screwups and actually close a couple of these games out. If they do, we have every reason to expect a tournament berth. If they continue as they have, then .500 in the ACC will indeed be a reasonable goal. Just don't know what to expect right now.
