I agree with you on most stuff, but just not this. I plan on watching the replay later tonight..but UF just isn't 10-15 points worse than Cuse. In CBB, that's a BIG difference in points.

Think about it...

Florida starting lineup

PG-Erving Walker
SG-Kenny Boynton
SF-Bradley Beal
PF-Will Yeguete
C--Patric Young

Bench players: Mike Rosario, Erik Murphy, Scottie Wilbelkin, Cody Larson

Syracuse starting lineup

PG-Scoop Jardine
SG-Brandon Triche
SF-Kris Joseph
PF-Rakeem Christmas
C--Fab Melo

Bench players: CJ Fair, James Southerland, Dion Waiters, Baye Moussa Keita

Those are two pretty dang even teams, and in my opinion, Florida is better. I haven't even heard of anyone on their bench, and Florida has two guys on the bench that would start on almost any other top 25 team, especially Mike Rosario. Florida also shoots the lights out of it from behind the arc, alot better than Cuse shoots it from there.

In my opinion, Cuse barely wins the PG spot with Scoop. Florida wins at the 2 with Boynton over Triche. Cuse is better at the 3 with Joseph but not much over Beal, I believe Beal is superior in pure talent, but it's not developed right now. Cuse takes the 4 spot, Christmas is easily better than the 1st year starter Yeguete. But the 5-spot is taken by Florida...Fab Melo had all kinds of hype, but like your opinion of Teague, he is WAY, WAY overrated. He should already be dominating, but he's not even close to that...Patric Young is solid, Melo is up and down.

That's 3-2 Cuse. And when you take bench into account, Florida's stomps Syracuse's. That's not 10-15 points better in MOST people's opinions, at least un-biased opinions. Also, this game was at the Dome, one of college basketball's toughest places to play.

My point is, Syracuse isn't 10-15 points better than Florida, and they're definitely not the best team in the country. There's 2 or 3 teams in the top 10 that are better and ranked behind them in my opinion. It's just crazy to say they are that much better than the Gators, and even crazier to say they're the best team in the country when they've not played anyone besides those Gators. The one other team they've played worthy of mention, Va Tech, played them close the entire game, in New York, until Syracuse finally pulled away towards the end of the game.

Syracuse won the game, and rightly so, but the best team isn't always the one who wins.

AND WHO THE HELL IS FLORIDA'S BENCH? SEC HOMER...Thats what I mean..Junk...CJ Fair an Dion Waiters an James S....Really? Who the hell is Florida's bench? You follow Florida because you fear them beating UK. I dont, Not in big east, So dont even use that non-sense....Florida shot the best they will shoot this year. Lost by 4, Got tons of calls, esp bail out calls when Cuse was gonna blow it wide open......Done discussing with you....Your stupidity showed in that post.
