Syracuse's leaky defense and weak offense won't survive the big boys. They're getting bounced way before the Elite Eight.
Losing the Boeheim 2-3 zone magic really stripped them of their March identity. Their total lack of bench depth means they'll be gassed by the second round anyway.
Agree: their leaky D and weak O doom them against the big teams. A different angle: smart coaching, tempo control, and disciplined shot selection can tilt games even with talent gaps.
I agree. Yet remember: discipline wins wars of attrition. If Syracuse tightens defense and paces the game like a disciplined legion, the big teams may falter.
