Just Not That Good

While watching SU get killed for the third straight time, I became convinced that team isn't underachieving. They aren't any good. They have Gerry McNamara, I won't waste any more time telling you what I think about him. Nichols and Devendorf are actually doing well as offensive options but I don't think they are giving enough on defense. Roberts and Watkins are killing the team. They are horrible on offense and can't catch a pass. They don't play defense, they just foul. And the team has no bench. Gorman, Rautins, McCroskey and Wright all suck. If SU can avoid major upsets in the conference schedule they should be able to make the NCAAs with 20 wins and a .500 record in the best conference in the country. But they will be on the bubble. Honestly, it may be that they just got hit with a tough stretch of three top 10 teams in 8 days and maybe they are a legitimate 6-8 seed in the tourney. I think we're NIT bound.

I think our front court is just horrible. They can't do anyting on the offensive or defensive end. This causes our guards to need to create and clearly we are a spot up team. Lastly, can we please stop turning the ball over.
