Syracuse Basketball

Coming into this season, I thought I was going to see some magic out of the Orange that I hadn't seen since 2003. They have two great freshman, Donte Green and Johnny Flynn, and also a sophomore star in Paul Harris. This lineup is very similar to Syracuse's 2003 national title team when freshmen Carmelo Anthony and Gerry McNamara worked along with sophomore sensation Hakim Warrick. Melo and company did it back in 2003, so why couldn't it happen in 2008? One thing different is that Donte Green thinks he is a superstar and a master three point shooter. He averages a ton of threes and makes very little of them. I think if he can either get his shot down, or stop shooting as much, Syracuse will have a shot next year, because this year was obviously not their year.
