'Cuse is perennially dangerous. On any given night they can cause any team to have fits. Even if Coach K has the pukies working against a zone all week, it's doubtful that the Duke B team plays it as well as Syracuse does.

I look at their zone the same way I look at "Press Virginia". It's like going "all in" in an unorthodox strategy. It WILL disrupt how a team plays and then the question becomes how the team adapts to playing against it. With WVU, if you break the press easily, they don't have a ton to fall back on, but if it takes you out of your rhythm and speeds you up, and pulls you out of your comfort zone, they can beat you.

Ditto with Syracuse. If you don't crack the code, it can be a long night. If you do, it's no big deal.
