Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2975471, member: 519"] For better or worse, pointing to a difficult strength of schedule is just another excuse for not being very good. Back in the day when we never left the friendly confines of the Dome until January, Boeheim used to say that if you're good you're good no matter who you play. Now he says you have to play people. One is a rationale for a good record beating up on cupcakes, the other is an excuse for a mediocre record losing to teams above you. I think he was right the first time...if you're good, then you're good. Did we become a better team this year losing to every team ahead of us in the standings or would we have been better with an easier schedule? The assumption that a difficult schedule makes you better isn't always true. Sometimes it makes you worse. [/QUOTE]
