Wiped the smirk from Buddy's face

Give him credit though for playing within his talents, he makes the most of what he has. Cuse and the last few teams are older
and the confidence they play with really shows. Tonight superior hustle on defense made the difference. after the team packed it in against Clemson you have to give credit to the coaches for continuing to play hard despite the shooting percentages

Clemson appears a lot better than Syracuse at this moment.

Syracuse is 9-11 and Pitt is 8-12. Neither team is going anywhere this year.

ACC records are both 3-6,
same with Clemson. Hard
to believe but both are
better than some others.

The ACC is really bad this year. Duke is the only team that has a legit chance to advance beyond the Sweet 16.

Agree, though FSU has come on of late after rocky OOC start. I could see them making a little run.

It sure seems like Jimmy B is now some AAU coach with his sons playing for him and he is there making sure his boys get their points. I have to think the end is near for Boeheim to be coach.

By the way, does Buddy have 3 or 4 more years of eligibility. Because he seems on the Chris Thomas plan where they seem like they have been around for 5 years already.

It is sort of amazing how bad both Syracuse and Pitt are considering where these programs were not long ago. Throw Louisville and ND into that mix as well. Just can't help but think how the worst of the pre-Stallings Pitt teams would crush the rest of the ACC right now.

Unfortunately, I know the current struggles won't help people avoid being bored with any future success, because previous inglorioius stretches in the past haven't prevented that.

Always good to get a win over a long-time rival like the Cuse though.

Here's the ACC's ex-Big East head-to-head against each other so far:
Miami 1-0
Pitt 3-3 (and 1-1 against prior BE outside of ACC)
ND 2-2
BC 2-2
Louisville 2-2 (and 0-1 against prior BE outside of ACC)
Virginia Tech 1-1
Syracuse 1-2 (and 0-2 against prior BE outside of ACC)

Seriously! Same with Girard, these guys seem like they were on the Syracuse roster in 2003!

It is funny that Syracuse now looks more like Cornell in roster composition than the lengthy athleticism that Syracuse teams historically have had.
