January 17, 201214 yr I know this may sound ridiculous but I think this team is very good. Is it impossible to go undefeated in the Big East?
January 17, 201214 yr No. I have doubts that any team will ever go undefeated in a major conference again, let alone in the Big freaking East.
January 17, 201214 yr Dicky V thinks so. That's what he said during the KU v. Baylor game. So no, they won't. Too difficult. they haven't played a tough road game yet either IMO. They are really good though. Unless UK works on there zone offense, I think they would be in a world of hurtin' against the 'Cuse.
January 17, 201214 yr Author They have very nice balance. Seven guys over 7 pts per game. Joseph, Waiters, Triche, Jardine and a condor in Melo in the underbelly of that zone. They just grind it out and if you get behind you are in trouble.

I actually started to make this thread and the next thing I know Dickie says the same thing on TV.
January 17, 201214 yr Id was really odd. I actually started to make this thread and the next thing I know Dickie says the same thing on TV. It wasn't but a minute after this was posted he said that lol. Good timing! :thumb:
January 17, 201214 yr It might have been Jimmy Dykes, who I currenlty loathe haha, but I think that he said he'd take Kentucky's top 5. However, he then said he'd take Syracuse's top 8-10.

January 17, 201214 yr I say no, but man did the BEast schedule makers make this an easy season for the Orange....
January 17, 201214 yr I'll take the field. I agree but have to add that they are likely the most complete team I have seen in the conference over the last 6 or 7 years. An off night will get them at some point, but they have very few weak spots if any...
January 17, 201214 yr Who is the second best team in the Big East? Better yet, who do you feel like out of this group has the best chance of knocking off the Orange(men)? No team really scares you on the list besides UConn in my book.

An off night will get them at some point, but they have very few weak spots if any... Maybe I'm mistaken, or maybe it's just the pace of their games due to the zone, but it doesn't seem to me that they rebound the ball all that well. A solid rebounding team that can get the pace of the game up could give them some problems I would think. :idunno:
