[scorecard]

Regardless of the mixed feelings about Dawkins, I have no ambivalence about rooting for this team to win, especially for our seniors.  Despite the frustrations, I would hate for their college careers to end without ever going to the Big Dance.  The boys deserve the support in this last run.  The team is showing some improvement (stupid turnovers be damned), and we are finally using some guys off the bench for more than 2 minute spurts.  And hey, if we get into the Dance, who knows what might happen?  It's a Jekyll/Hyde team for sure, but who isn't this year?  Syracuse lost to 7-20 Boston College.  There are no unbeatable teams in college basketball anymore.  The one missing ingredient might be Ray Lewis pre-game speeches, so maybe that would be another use for Shaw's robot...
