If there's a silver lining in this

it's that with Syracuse being so academically tough, it's important for the players to get back to their studies.

Ugh. Now I know what Duke fans feel like.

Losing by 20. Syracuse playing like they were surprised to have to play today.

halftime

and Syracuse has played one of its worst halves of the year. 0-9 on 3s. No energy. No transition game. But missing lay-ups, as usual.

Is it just me or

does the SU-Oklahoma game that we're all definitely watching right now feel weirdly low-energy? I've noticed crowds at these NCAA games are not full. Or maybe it's just the zone play. But Syracuse anyway needs a shot of adrenaline.

Flame retardant uniforms?

I was already nervous about Syracuse's game against Oklahoma, but now I worry for the Orange's safety. See video starting around 25 seconds in... That has to be illegal.

Father Knows Best

Maggie Lou will be thanking you when Villanova beats Pittsburgh.

SuperNova?

Isn't a supernova an imploding star?  I hope the shoe fits.

But from what I've seen, they'll continue to shine.
