I gotta say I am really impressed with Rak.  McCullough too.  Both are ahead of where I thought they would be.  I hope McCullough has the desire to throw down some hammers when he's around the rim.  This could be an annoying trend if he keeps settling for weak layup attemps.  I am not really seeing it as a strength issue.  He is just choosing not to dunk.  That is the ONLY thing that bothers me about him.  He is way more active and alert out there generally than I thought he would be.

Too early but I would like to see better plays being run for Cooney to get him free.  Seems like other teams can get their shooter/sniper good looks pretty much at will except when you start playing against good defensive teams.

I thought this would be a tough game based on what Autry said in the scouting video and that, also, it seems like teams (at least against us) do well with crazy travel scenarios.  Somebody last year (NC St?) or the year before came into Syracuse a few hours before tipoff and we barely escaped.  Those teams dealing with the travel delays come in and play good basketball.  Nothing to lose I guess.  SU showed some grit and toughness.  Good win but again, I can't really tell where we are.  We'll know more after MSG.  I think Cal is going to be a very tough game.  Cuonzo Martin was running a VERY aggressive M2M defense if I remember correctly at Tennessee.
