Sports InsideOut

The Syracuse vs. Duke game this past weekend lived up to the hype.  I feel everyone is focusing on the charge call and the Jim Boeheim ejection, while instead they should be focusing on how well both teams played, and how it was such a great game until the final 15 or so seconds.  This game even further entrenched Florida into the number one spot, and there is really no team you can put there.  Florida looks like far and away the best at this point, and why shouldn't they, they've been phenomenal lately, winning 19 in a row.  In this stretch, they've beaten Kansas, Memphis, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee twice.  The only real close call has been Arkansas on the road, and they have beaten South Carolina by 16, Georgia by 22, Tennessee by 26, and Texas A&M by 33.  The talent on this team surpasses every other team in the country.  Easily.  Billy Donnovan is a great coach, turning this team around after starting 6-2 (if you call that...

Providence Last year, Providence had two of the top young freshman in the country going...
