You know, I wanted to, you mentioned some of their losses, uh,

They lost to Houston in overtime.

It was a game they absolutely could have won against a really, really good Houston team.

And probably should have won that game.

Yeah.

The game they lost to Kansas just a couple days later was a 50-50, you know, very, very close game with five minutes to go.

Kansas went on a run to, you know, go ahead and wrap that one up and win by nine.

But it was a very, very tight contest in the final minutes.

So this is a Syracuse team that has shown it can play with anybody.

I mean, like, they only lost to Clemson by three games.

A lot of their losses have been very, very competitive.

And as you mentioned, two-game winning streak, they beat two of the ACC bubble teams.

They beat California and SMU this week.

Now, both those games were at home, but still those are both really, really nice wins for Syracuse.

The SMU game, they literally won, you know, functionally on a buzzer beater.

Syracuse is not a team that you should take lightly.

Because they're capable, clearly, of playing with anybody.

You mentioned that...

They're, you know, in like the 60s, 70s in most of the advanced metrics.

Pomeroy projects that this is a game that Duke wins by 19 points, 81 to 62.
