Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2788779, member: 1251"] I think most fans have a tendency to overrate their own talent. In terms of pre-season expectations, we have people expecting a great season based on a 4 game sample size in a tournament that we almost didn't even make, while ignoring the larger sample size of the other 30+ games. The reality is that the last year's team was poor by Boeheim standards until the final four games in the tourney. Yes, we have the whole team back, but our leading scorers from last year were very inefficient, and inefficacious offensive play is only a route to victory if you have an elite defense. Yes, our defense is (well, should be at least) very good, but it is basketball, after all, and eventually you need to put the ball through the hoop if you want to win. Bottom line is Tyus and Oshae need to be a lot better in order for this team to live up to the fan expectations. [/QUOTE]
