Yeah, Gerry McNamara Stinks

Last week, Sports Illustrated informed us that two Big East players tied in a vote for the most overrated player in the league. While Rudy Gay has done nothing but prove he was worth the honor, Gerry McNamara decided to actually play.

McNamara has almost single handedly led Syracuse through the Big East tournament this week and at the same time cemented a spot in the NCAA tournament for his previously on the bubble squad.

The Orange will try to become the first team in league history to win the tournament after playing on four consecutive days.

No matter what happens Saturday night, they will go into the NCAA’s as one of the hottest teams in the country, hoping to improve upon their first round exit last season.

They have what it takes to make a little run once they get there as well. McNamara is one of the most talented guards in the country and if he lights it up, the Cuse is as good as anyone. He’s deadly from beyond the arc and doesn’t miss free throws.

Basically, he’s J.J. Redick in orange.
