I haven't really seen this mentioned...We need to realize that we are struggling against BE teams.  Teams that we play every year and know how to play against us offensively (slow the game down, exploit the zone) and defensively.  Once we hit the tourney, we will play against teams that are not used to playing against a zone, especially one like SU's.  Although some of our weaknesses concern me, I believe our strengths greatly outweigh them. 
 
Last night I realized something about this team.  In the past if they started the first 10 min of game down 20-7, I would start channel surfing.  However, with this team I knew they would come back.  They just seem to have this toughness/confidence, where they know that whatever situation they are in, they will win.  That is not something that can be taught or is skill.  That comes from team depth, balanced scoring, trust in each other and an unselfishness to realize who is hot that game and get that player the ball. 
 
I know the pundits keep harping about the rebounding issue, however at some point they will realize that this team can, and has already proven, that it can overcome a rebounding deficit and still win.  From the beginning of the season they were harping about the team not have a go-to guy, I think they have proven that is not an issue, haven't heard the talking heads bring this up in a while.
