I know he basically HAS to say stuff like this, but he did tell the Associated Press last month that he knows he has it good at Cornell and that he's not eager to move on.  I figure he can't say, "I'll bolt to a bigger school if I get the chance," though.

No, I totally believe that Cornell was Syracuse's best non-conf win.  First of all, as time went by, it was revealed that North Caroina and Florida really did suck this year.  Secondly, 15 points was the closest anyone had come by the time Cornell played them.  Lastly, Cornell lost the game in about a 5 minute stretch when they switched up a strategy to play from the interior and, well, it didn't work.  Syracuse's lead ballooned to 20 in those five minutes and although Cornell composed itself afterwards to stop the bleeding, it couldn't significantly change the gap.  Other than those few minutes, they played well.  The lead went back and forth in the first half (the 6 point Sryacuse half-time lead was mostly thanks to a 3 at the buzzer).  Overall, Cornell impressed -- so much so that the Syracuse Post wrote a story about Chris Wroblewski, and coach Boeheim praised him by name (as he has continued to do since).  

I honestly think the Brown game was complacency and fatigue.  I have watched almost every game online but shrugged off Brown because what was to be excited about? The 3PT statistic looks awful, though -- 28%, lowest of the season.  Could the problem with Brown simply have been complacency and a bad night from 3, not "we're not as good as we think we are and should stop buying our own press"?
