You got one more. You got one more?

Syracuse should change their mascot name from Orangemen to Supermen.  After what was easily one of the top five college basketball games of all time lat night, a six overtime thriller in which they beat UConn, they played tonight and won in overtime.  So for all the mathematicians out there that is seven overtimes in less than 24 hours.  Jonny Flynn has heart and mental toughness, and displayed it.  Last night Flynn played 67 of 70 minutes, and tonight he played every minute.  Now I  don't want to leave out the rest of the team so kudos to; Rautin, Harris, Devendorf, and the rest of the player, all of which put in quality minutes last night.
Syracuse has had a long road to get to the Big East championship game but now they will run into Louisville.   Louisville will be a tough match up for an undoubtedly tired Syracuse team because they like to press.  The Cardinals make you move and work and that may prove tough for the Orangemen.  Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals beat Villanova today by forcing them to make mistakes.  That is the style of basketball Louisville plays, annoying.  Syracuse showed no real signs of fatigue today until overtime but they do have one more.
I have to say I am on the Syracuse bandwagon, I hope they are honored.  The truth is I don't like to see any one work as hard as the Orangemen and not get anything out of it.  It is like taking a virgin to prom and...I digress.  And now I have to give a shout out to high school for the origin of my title.  At a track meet in high school the eloquent coach Rodie came to me after I finished the mile and right before I ran the two mile and made this statement/question.  "Nathan you got one more.  You got one more?"  Live like no one is watching and finish in overtime.
