I suppose everything is relative, but Wisconsin only scored 26 points in the second half and 53 points in regulation.  That's a lot less than Syracuse has been giving up.  Also our turnovers were down.  If Syracuse hadn't shot 35% from the field, 29% from 3, and 55% from the free throw line they win that game easily.

I think Syracuse's two best games of the season were Wisconsin and Georgetown as far as the things you can control (defense, turnovers, hustle, avoiding mental mistakes) unfortunately they were the two worst shooting days Syracuse has had all season.  This Syracuse team is a flawed one, and they need to shoot the ball well to overcome some of those flaws.  While they will never be an elite team, they can improve on some of those flaws, and it seems to me like they are moving in the right direction.  Unfortunately its not an overnight process, this will take the whole season to change and in the mean time we are going to suffer a few losses we shouldn't.

The hope is that we make the tournament, and when we do Coleman is capable of playing 20+ minutes a game, and one of the back up guards has stepped up.  If we do that AND we stay hot from 3 for a few games you never know what may happen.
