Yeah, when I responded to you I was responding to what I read as a blanket statement.  Maybe I took it the wrong way.  Because the essence of your post I completely agree with:
 
"Winning close games in the grinder has not always been an SU hallmark.  We are doing it now."  (not quoting you, just for emphasis)
 
And as you may or may not have seen in my other post in this thread, the discussion about us not being a Top 10 team or linking the this stretch of close games to past season's tourney flame outs is garbage.  This is a different team and the evidence of that is in the record and in the fact that we are winning games that SU teams in the past would have lost (circular reference but...see: record again).  Everything should (discussion wise) should start from us being one of the top 3,4, or 5 teams and what it takes for us to win in that context.  Any other than that does this great season a diservice.
 
I think if I had to sum this up, I would say it this way: I know we are the 2nd best (or potentially best) team in the country.  But we are not playing like it.
