I rewatched the 94 Syracuse Mizzou sweet 16 matchup last night. Red went off for 31 in the 2nd half.

Obviously the skill level was greater, but what was interesting to me was how much the game flow 'looked' like the game flow that we have become accustomed to.

[LIST=1]
[*]SU battles for 5-10 minutes and keeps it close
[*]The opponent controls the game for 20ish minutes and SU falls behind by double-digits
[*]We look sluggish as heck in the zone
[*]Start pressing a bit and there is a spark, but guys like JW appear like they have never played a M2M D before. 
[*]The same high risk shots we were shooting and missing during the falling behind, those start falling, and over the course of the next 8 minutes we trim a 13 point lead to 1.
[*]Even our best athletes like Luke Jackson are now gassed. 1 star recruits have to come off the bench to spell our studs
[*]Helter skelter for the last 2-3 minutes and we force OT (replace this this year with turnover or bad execution on the last possession)
[*]Etc
[/LIST]
Outside the immense differential in talent and grit between that 94 team and ours, the game flow had some similarities to many games in the 30 years since.
