Pitarresi: Anything possible for Orange now

Just a few weeks ago, Syracuse University’s basketball team looked dead in the water.

 

Whatever Jim Boeheim says now about his very resilient, tough team, he indeed was very worried with the way the Orange were playing through January and into February.

 

Now, after that phenomenal six-overtime win over Connecticut and tonight’s overtime win over West Virginia, anything can happen.

 

Again, this is a very talented offensive team that has some flaws, but what team doesn’t? I was on Jonny Flynn for a lack of generalship when the team was in the doldrums. I guess I can't say anything bad about him now ... or anybody else on the team ... especially not my hero, Kristof Ongenaet.

 

I’m not betting on SU to win over Louisville Saturday night, or to go deep into the NCAA tourney, but I’m not betting against them, either. After the last couple of nights, they believe they can do anything, and they just might.
