I’m glad I get to see this year’s team continue to play. I’ve enjoyed the season, watching the players develop and grow, and to get to know the team’s personality as well as that of the individual players. It was nice to see Buddy Boeheim get his shooting stroke back. For a player like Marek Dolezaj the NCAA tournament gives him the opportunity to showcase what he brings to the table, a guy who always puts the "team first".
It would be great to see either Alan Griffin or Joe Girard get their shot back, and for Quincy Guerrier to be explosive for the whole game. Hopefully Kadary Richmond's knee is comfortable enough for him to display some of his defensive wizardry. And I hope both Robert Braswell and Jesse Edwards get some moments to shine.
The NCAA tournament is designed to give heartbreak to 67 out of 68 teams. I think we all know that, but we all don’t accept that. The key to me is for the Orange to play well, represent themselves well, and see where things fall.
Hopefully the Orange picked up no rust with their week off, and they can remember the game flow nuances that help them on both ends of the court.
I have no idea how tonight's game will go. This season has shown that anybody can beat anyone by any margin on a given night. I hope the Orange bring their 'A' game tonight. That is all I can ask.
Go Orange!
