[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 791114, member: 274"] I agree that they were better during our game than earlier in the season. But we did not face the same team as the current 5 game stretch. They weren't on any win streak when we played them. They had just gotten smoked by Duke and were 3-2 in their prior 5 games, with closer than expected wins against bad teams in ND and BC. The current streak I'm referencing started when they beat Clemson last game of the regular season, then smacked NC State and took Virginia to the wire in the ACCT. Followed by two solid NCAAT games. I'm dismissing the game prior to Clemson when 'Cuse beat UNC at home because of the way the game was won i.e., poor play by both teams. Some differences in their play now vs. when they played us: [LIST=1] [*]Defensively against us, Syracuse flew out to the 3-point line on shooters like Khalid and Jordan. Love our guys, but that's a losing strategy. They are not doing that now with guys that you want shooting those shots, and there is awareness among all 5 guys who those players are i.e., better communication and focus. [*]Robert Braswell has emerged as a viable front court option and not a last resort. In the current 5 game stretch he's logged 20+ minutes four times, whereas in the entirety of the season beforehand he did that once, due to Quincy Guerrier being in foul trouble. [*]PG Joe Girard has had 7 assists three out of the five games. He did that once in the first 22. [*]Marek Dolezaj played the worst game of his season, if not the worst game of his career, against us. He gathered 5 fouls in 10 minutes and most were unforced. I'm not trying to take anything away from the fouls forced by GT, but he picked up more bonehead fouls in non-competitive situations in our game e.g., in the front court with no press on. He's arguably the best and most important player for Syracuse, and he's been more responsible with the fouls he's gathered over the current stretch. [/LIST] The things that I think are nearly the same include: Moses would still dominate. We controlled Buddy, who was off and running though maybe at a slightly lesser clip (he is now doing it through face guarding and double-teaming). And I still think we (GT) have a better starting five. [/QUOTE]
