First off, thanks for the space.
Listening to Bilas and crew last night, according to them, the biggest difference between Syracuse of this season and last, is their unselfish play.
Is this so?
According to the numbers, Syracuse is averaging 2 more assists per game (20.1 vs. 18.1). Probably, more importantly, the turnovers per game is down 2 as well (16.0 vs 18.3). The biggest difference is the Orange is shooting a robust 53% from the field vs 48% last year and 39% from beyond the arc vs 34% last year.
What Jay and Bill were subtley saying was, having Wesley Johnson and Andy Rautins being the go-to guys is better than Jonny Flynn and Eric Devendorf. Though Johnson is a F vs. Flynn being a G, running the offense through Johnson has made Syracuse a more efficient and potent offense making them a better bet to possibly make a run. Now, only if they could make free throws...
