Syracuse - Colgate Observations

Syracuse and Colgate played something that could loosely be described as a basketball game tonight. Not surprisingly, the Orange won handily 92-58. As we do after every game, here are some observations from the game.

Observations

Colgate sucks. They are putrid. They have a team of small, unathletic white guys. That's not a formula for success. They haven't won a game all year. I suspect it will be a while before they do.

The game was a blow out from the start, there wasn't much more to be learned from it. The Orange did play some man to man and 10 guys played at least 10 minutes, so it was good for the young guys to get some playing time -- however, the guys they play against in practice are 10 times better than anyone Colgate has, so how much good it did remains to be seen.

All in all, it was great to see Syracuse come out a destroy an inferior opponent - even if it proved to be a brutally boring game to watch, it was fun in a brutally boring way.

I'll close with this - Colgate basketball is even worse than this horrific video -- and that's saying something.
