[B]2.  Syracuse (3-0)[/B]
While Hopkins has garnered a lot of attention for jumping out to a 3-0 start vs. ranked teams, the Orange matched the Blue Jays record on Monday night. While their performances have gotten a lot of shine, I don’t think the record has been properly appreciated. Yes, all three wins came in the confines of the Dome (as opposed to on the back of a trans-continental trip), but ’Cuse has yet to be tested vs. a slate that included a 2024 NCAA Tournament team and two perennial conference title contenders. All I’m saying is that the Orange have already proven more to me than they have to others.

And what have they proven? That they’re the bonafide title contender that we thought they were in the preseason. Now, there really isn’t much space between that and winning an NCAA Quarterfinal game, so there are only potholes between now and the third week in May as far as my opinion of Gary Gait’s team is concerned. So we watch to see if they can avoid them.

(As an aside, is there anything worse than the moment when you hit a terrible pothole and have to wait to feel whether you popped a tire. Terrifying.)
