Okay, so doesn't is seem like Gerry McNamara has been at Syracuse for 6 years? Maybe that's because when Carmelo was lauded for carrying the Orange to a National Title as a freshman, Gerry was also a freshman playing 35 minutes a game and shooting 36% from beyond the arc. But as the talent from the champion season left, Gerry was forced to carry the team and force a lot of shots. So this season, when it looked like 'Cuse might be headed for the NIT, and I saw highlight after highlight of McNamara jumping awkwardly and shooting one handed shots, I thought that he was overrated.
Well if one wasn't enough, Gerry came down and hit last second 3-pointes to beat Cincinnatti and UConn. And now the Orange are headed to the Big Dance, where it seems that anything could happen this year.
Speaking of anything could happen, how about that Pitt/Louisville game. I couldn't believe what I saw when I turned on the game in the first half.
With 11:20 to go in the first half it was Pitt 16-0.
With 4:30 to go in the first half it was 33-5.
Clearly this was not the same Louisville that went to the Final Four last year.
But if I couldn't beleive the score in the first half, I really was shocked to see the score in the 2nd half.
With 23 seconds left in the game Pitt was only up 3, 57-54.
Pitt would hold on to win by 5, but the whole game was madness. Can you imagine going on a 51-28 run to finish the game and lose?
