I like Dearth a lot. I know he hasn't done much, but he plays bigger than Lane even though he is not. Dearth absolutely killed a guy on a bull dodge, that was called a ward incorrectly.
Also thought the officiating was terrible on Saturday. Once again the pace at the X is inconsistent. Making guys wait longer, then shorter, then longer, etc. before the whistle is blown, that certainly did no favors for Delisle or Varello. Lots of crappy loose ball push calls as well.
If there was one positive for Syracuse I thought they were the much more physical team, which cost them so man up's but I personally love to see the aggression, and feel that if some of our defense's in the past played with the physicality that this one does there would have been some championships won with Rice, Donahue, Staats.
