Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 2461344, member: 937"] I'll choose to be optimistic about next year. These past years have just been strange. We've been mediocre at best, sometimes just downright bad - very frustrating to watch, missing the tourney, but somehow have two Final 4 appearances. We look ahead and see Duke turning into the Alabama of basketball as an untouchable in a sport where some teams can cheat and others bettter not even think about slightly bending a rule. We clearly know where we fall in that pecking order. But... the optimistic side of me says if anyone can challenge next years Duke team, it's a Syracuse team with Bazley/Carey/Hughes coming in with some promising talent returning. Can Brissett develop a consistent 3 point shot and can Sidibe get healthy?... if so, I'll roll with the talent, size, experience and length of FH/JC/DB/OB/PC/EH/BS etc.. against "$$$ the brotherhood $$$".
