Sorry if not clear but I was really only challenging the claim that they have one of the best defenses in the country. I don't think there is any concrete evidence that Syracuse has a better D but I think there's also no evidence that GTown is better there than Cuse, for the reasons already discussed. Last mutual opponent was the 2019 Loyola team. GTown let in 16 and we let in 15 which is a wash. Nothing solid to go off in 2020 and there have been a good amount of personnel changes for both. The season was barely underway. It's possible they are better, but not enough there to make a remotely definitive call on it.

If I throw out some take like "those Hoyas are a failing basketball school who will never beat the mighty Orange in lax! 10 rings 2020 national champs WHOOO go orange!" then by all means bring me back down to earth with a comment. No need when I'm discussing things calmly with evidence, but it's all good. I'm not exactly without sin when it comes to being a little sassy on here. Dang I will even concede that I did not know Smith's stats were quite that bonkers. Yes stats tell less of the whole story for defense than offense, but you don't put up those numbers without being a serious talent, even if he is on every single faceoff wing. Will watch for him more closely in the future. Last full games of the Hoyas I saw were the Loyola and Yale games in 2019.
