every year there are young teams that struggle out of the gate but end up gelling late in the season and playing their best basketball when it matters most.

the way syracuse responded tonight after going down 10 points so late in the game was remarkable, and i'd like to think that the team has a chance of being at least sort of relevant come march.

however, i haven't heard any commentators say such a thing.  tonight's announcers, for example, talked a lot about how young syracuse is, but they said nothing about the team potentially being dangerous as the year progresses.

i realize the season's only two weeks old, so i'm not saying that experts should be making their final four picks right now.  still, though, with the exception of chris mccullough, there just doesn't seem to be much excitement about the other underclassmen.

i'm interested in what other fans think.  does this team have any shot of making noise this year?  also, even if these players develop a stride together, won't next year be another start-from-zero season when jb has to figure out how to replace his two best scorers from this year?
