First off, that was a very good team we played...regardless of the conditions, they are crazy athletic and long and play the 2-3 very well already. Unless a team gets really hot from outside, they will be tough to beat. I can see them being a top 5 team all year and possibly beat out Louisville for the BE.
Secondly, they did something they don't normally do which is come out of their comfort zone to play a west coast team that isn't a patsy in their back yard. The conditions favored them in the matchup and they were already probably a better overall team....but to start of the season like this is not normal....and we already know that other blue blood schools (ie. Louisville with Pitino's decree of a permanent veto against scheduling SDSU) wouldn't do this.
Like everyone else, I wish we would have played better and wonder what this game would have been like if we weren't 1-18 from 3PT and abysmal from the line for most the game...but I appreciate that a huge brand name school like Syracuse gave us this game and some national pub anyway.

Yep. Love that the Aztecs were in a game like this. The Orange are real good.

Was there at the game today. Syracuse was well coached and the players listened to the coach. They took the ball inside and did not allow the wind to be a factor. Also, something I saw that I did not like, Jamaal tried to get into a Kemba Walker situation on the sideline again. I don't know if the camera got it or not. It would of been an embarrassment to him and the University if it did. Love Jamaal, understand he had a rough life but the dude needs a little Zen in his life. Prefer to see him smile and enjoy the game for sometimes. Hopefully this is a humbling experience for our players.

No East Coast bias, just a classic butt kickin' by the Orange. Much respect.

Credit to Syracuse, especially their defense. Credit to their coaches for recruiting that length.

They should go Final Four. It'd be awesome if we did, too. I'd like to see a rematch under more favorable conditions - later on in the season.

I dont think any team in the nation would have beat Syracuse under those conditions. Their fans were impressive too. Aztecs are going to be just fine. Shepherd and O'brien are great additions.

That is a solid team. And we played horribly. Hopefully we meet again!
