Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 891296, member: 652"] In 2003, we were a better program than Pitt, but the gap wasn't that huge. We had been a contender, but had 0 NCs and were coming off an NIT season and Pitt was #2. Syracuse 2003's resume is not Syracuse 2013's resume. Rushing the floor that night against Pitt wasn't that big a deal because we weren't where we are now. Kinda like Florida 2013 or UConn 2013 are different programs than there were in 2003. National Championships elevate your program. If Syracuse had numerous NCAA championships in its past and considered itself a top 5 program then it shouldn't rush the court against programs beneath them even if they are top 5 and undefeated.
