Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 138356, member: 237"] Definitely Yes.. but agree about the injury statement. Outside of Yancy Gates and to a lesser extent Cooley at ND.. not one of those teams has a low post threat that is going to be enough of a difference maker. If we can dominate shooting under 40 percent... I don't expect a bunch of teams (only of which is a top 25 team) that we have at one point in the past five years struggled with is going trip us up. The teams I think that could give us trouble this year are the ville, Uconn and Gtown. And I think we possible lose to 2/3 of that group and finish the Regular season with 2 losses. This years group is too difficult to match up with inside and is able to extend on the shooters. The depth allows JB to simply pull the plug on whoever does not want to play defense or take care of the ball. Hopefully we can start fast against the Friars and get Rak some minutes. Want to keep Baye healthy for the stretch run. Outside of ND and Pitt (ball movement) I dont see any teams who are going to be able to do more than hit jumpers. If six of our 10 play awfully ,we dont rebound and the refs start calling phantom fouls against Fab - then yes we could leave January with a loss or three. Not to go on a rant.. but does anyone else not even notice we are undefeated? Often times its the 15-0, 16-0.. how long can we stretch it conversation. This year its more like.. who is going to beat us the way we are playing.. and if we do lose.. its going to take a monumental effort to do so now with the way the team is clicking. Give me Carolina or UK.. nobody (thanks to the improvements of Dion/Fab) is able to come at you with as much attacking prowess, aggressive defense and individual talent as SU other than the buckeyes. On that note.. other than Bufords lights out shooting abilities I think we are a tough matchup for them as well. This team is making teams look bad.. competition has a little to do with that.. but we have seen stretches of play to show how this team simply hits another gear when its needed. Waiters, Kris and CJ have been big in looking to turn the tide.. with scoop and Trich adding some polish, leaving Melo to deflower opponents time and time again as they try to get easy buckets.
