i think the PR of having the entire boeheim clan in the tourney plus the perpetual bubble dwelling nature of the team the last decade gvies them a boost in terms of chances of getting in...actually think toureny success as a bubble team has helped SU get in a few years recently as well

so

i think if the team just gets close enough that it is reasonable, they are in

well the offense has been "good" but moslty not good enough to compensate for bad D...

and the reality is that the offense is the area of the team where improvement is and has been possible much more than any other...the defense isnt getting better because slow players arent gonna all of a sudden become fast. they literally cant do the rotations necessary fast enough. that wont change

so, while the offense has been a strength...it hasnt been strong enough...until the last 3 games

in terms of how the team gets better with this roster...to me its to max out even more on offenseive efficiency and become just as lethal against the vcu, duke, uva houston type teams...if those teams cant slow this offense down, then they can truly beat anyone

there is room for improvement in the offense because the scheme itself hasnt been maximizing the talents of the players - they are getting outshot from 3 and not even attempting as many 3s as other teams despite having better shooters

since the problems on O are schematic - and the problems on D are physical limitations - make sense to focus on improving the O and to focus attention on that side of the team over others
