Yes, I'm running the same photo I ran yesterday because it fits. The Villanova Wildcats came up big once again, and when faced with a tough opponent, the Syracuse Orange came up small. In the end, its an 89-86 win and a season sweep for Nova.
I'm too tired to do any kind of in-depth recap, but here are a few thoughts:
I'm too tired to do any kind of in-depth recap, but here are a few thoughts:
* Kristof, Kristof, Kristof -- that was the best game the Waffle has played since he arrived in Syracuse last year. If everyone hustled and played as hard as this guy the Orange wouldn't be 7-7 in conference.
* I'm not sure if the guards are incapable of throwing an entry pass, or the big guys are incapable of properly sealing guys off and catching the ball - I'll leave that for you to decide.
* 39 three point attempts - my God. That is an early 1990s Loyola Marymount type of figure.
* Nova was able to win on the road without Scottie Reynolds going off - you have to hand it to them, they are a pretty damn good team.
* Jay Wright may be as good a coach as he is a dresser.
* Apparently Jonny Flynn has been sick - he didn't have a great game - so I can let that slide. What cannot slide is the fact that other guys have to step up when that happens. Being sick also doesn't cause you to repeatedly force drives in the lane when there's nothing there. Jonny did that too many times.
* I'd be willing to bet if each player on every Big East team were entered in a giant one on one tournament, Syracuse would put a couple of guys in the finals - because that's what this team does -- every game.
* I'm done ranting, let's go revel in the misery that is Georgetown basketball instead.

Were Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers on the court yesterday?
When I'm drinking, I always go my first shot left-handed....in honor of Hank.
