After the 39-point drubbing Depaul handed to Syracuse last year, everyone was thinking pretty much along the same lines: young team, athletic, inconsistent, flashes of brilliance, one proven leader…with a little maturity, they’ll be good in ‘06-’07. ESPN’s Andy Katz wrote an entire article about their sleeper status.
Oops.
The Blue Demons are 0-2, with losses to Butler (58-78) and perennial Big 11 doormat Northwestern (39-49).
Looks like they’ll be just like last year’s team. A squad with the ability to catch fire at any moment and beat just about anybody, but without the ability to play disciplined, consistent basketball day in and day out.
