Lol oh I'm not worried. Relax. It's only a game and I'm only a fan. But the thread is certainly a valid discussion especially with how SC looked last night and Miss St. looked today.
Perhaps Syracuse was underrated. SC went undefeated in conference, lost by 12 to the far and away best team in the sport, won all of its non-conf games against a plethora of NCAA tourney teams and ran away with its league tourney title... what's the lowest ranking possible for a team that's accomplished said outcomes.. I guess SC deserves that ranking/rating?
You pick any team from any p5 league with those accomplishments and I'll show you a top 5 team.
What that says to me is that Syracuse was underrated. Perhaps Miss State was overrated, but if UCONN doesn't want the praise that comes with beating the #15 team by 60 points then fine by me... I guess beating the #18 team by that margin is better... As long as said team is "properly ranked".
In the end, I just think Syracuse did a fine job of exposing and magnifying SC's weaknesses and UCONN did what UCONN does best... beat you in the first 3 minutes. Teams don't get to the Sweet 16 by being overrated.
