While Syracuse is likely at a low point talent-wise, I think it is very premature to bury them (or Girard, for that matter) based on just one game played against the defending national champs that are still arguably the best defensive team in the country. I personally thinks that Girard will be OK at the ACC level. Not a star there, but he should be fine. Time will tell.

Part of his struggles is he has no great talent around him so he can blend in. I'm telling you these SU fans are expecting too much from him, and he's going to struggle because of it. He's not good enough to carry a program of this caliber. Jimmy is old, and failing on the recruiting road right now. Not sure how much incentive he has at this stage.

Girard has a big game tonight against ?Seattle? Had 24 points on 5-6 from 3. Good for him. JB scheduling in November is legendary.š

He ll do okay vs the JB notorious soft OOC schedule. Iām worried how he ll do against ACC competition. I hope he proves everyone wrong!

FYI, this year's weak early season schedule includes Virginia, Oklahoma State, Iowa, and Georgetown, so not as lame as some past years.

All the best power 5 programs do the same thing. Pad the win total to get ready for the reality of conference play.

I know, but playing the prior year's NCAA champion in the first game is certainly not a way to pad one's schedule.

I started a thread a day or two earlier āSyracuse Basketballā under the NCAA & MAAC section. Maybe this could be combined with that? I do think the subject does have interest to a majority of the readers/posters.

Girard gaining more confidence every game. Led Syracuse in scoring today in a OT win at Virginia. Was 5-11 from 3 and hit some big shots. Automatic at the FT line. Iām glad heās proving a lot us, including me, wrong. Cuse isnāt very good but Joe is getting 35 min a night to learn, and boy is he. Shocked if heās not a 4 yr starter in central NY.

Watched quite a bit of the game especially the second half and O/T. Girad was playing excellent. Jim B son was also a surprise.
