Eloquent and excellent, General20.  I'll just add that SU-GT was one of the best defensive games I've seen (not addressing SU's lack of rebounding), and GT guards guarded SU as tightly as any M2M defense.  Kudos to them.  On the other side, I think SU allowed only one of GT's patented back-door plays.  It was a great game to watch.
 
Regarding your comment on running teams having success against SU because they don't give themselves time to make ball-control mistakes -- that's why I fear Missouri the most in a tournament matchup.  It's Nova on speed -- a four-guard offense with lightning-fast, experienced guards who also force a lot of steals.  Supposedly their lack of height will be their undoing, but we know what good outside-shooting teams can do against the zone if they catch fire.  Mizzou has the talent and speed to give the Cuse fits.  Let's just hope KY and MO are in the other side of the bracket and Cuse only has to face one of them along the way  I think SU has answers for the likes of UNC, Duke, OSU and the Spartans.  Kansas could be a problem, especially because they're improving.-VBOF
