Tough for me to watch Syracuse this year. This is the worst offensive team I can remember in Syracuse history as far as fundamentals go. They are terrible at shooting and passing. Nice to see the guy I saw in high school in Rakeem Christmas finally translate that game over to the college game and I think he will probably be drafted.
Other than that, not many bright spots on the team.

Cuse had a lot of room to grow from where they were in the beginning of the year...had Michigan and Nova beat early on and threw those games away. Actually, I thought that if they could just get a couple big wins and get in the tournament, they could beat anybody with that size. But without McCullough they're done, this is a rebuilding year. You can't go anywhere with a 6 man rotation.
They should be real good next year though...McCullough back, Cooney back, Joseph hopefully will learn how to dribble, Patterson can score if he gets his confidence, Roberson will be a 12-10 guy, heck, maybe even Coleman will finally be healthy enough to play.
Plus they've got a top-10 class next year....4 McD All-Americans and possibly Thomas Bryant as a 5th.
You can say this at pretty much all major programs around the country, but the rebuild won't be a long process for Cuse.
