Message: [QUOTE="mantonio, post: 229974, member: 709"] I can agree with this assessment. However, if other teams are able to score at will on the interior, the margin of error for the Syracuse offense becomes microscopically small. Syracuse was able to shoot less than 30% from outside the paint, & still win, because they could hold their opponents to less than 60 points. Without Melo, I am not sure they can do this against the better teams in this tourney. Also, Melo had an ability to fix the misses of our other shooters, by flushing them off the rim. Can RAK do the same? In a close game, those points are critical. Remember the UCONN game in Storrs when Fab scored the winning basket off a missed shot? [/QUOTE]
