    Naheem McLeod Transferring to Syracuse (5/15/23)

    when we 'dropped the zone back' how did FSU shoot from 3 after that? I honestly dont remember.

    Boeheim’s losingest season ever

    and I was pointing out beating BC, Pitt & Ga Tech twice is not a great accomplishment by any stretch of the imagination and losing to teams you only play once still counts as a loss. We had a real easy conference schedule this year. We get 4 of the other 8 teams in conference 2x next year...

    Boeheim’s losingest season ever

    on the schedule, we had one of the easier, if not the easiest ACC schedule. We played the following teams twice: Virginia Georgia Tech Pitt BC Notre Dame Virginia Tech Outside of Virginia not much there of the upper echelon teams in conference. Also remember we went 0 - 4 against power 5...

    5 ACC losses by 14 points

    the season is losing (getting blown out) to Iowa, Penn St, Oklahoma ST, & Georgetown out of conference. The ACC literally has 1 - 2 quality out of conference wins. I think during today's game they Lunardi had us at 83 in his bracket for what that is worth. We are not even sniffing the bracket.

    Blaming the Wrong Boeheim...

    I guess if we are looking for moral victories this is good. FSU did not play (arguably) their best player the entire game and the guy who was hot early missed 20 minutes or so with a busted lip. But hey. we were close. We are (and have been for years) a very average ACC team (and this year in...

    back to ECAC days (Niagara, Bonnies, Fairfield, Iona, bad Seton Hal & UConn etc), I would agree with you on the worst league we have played in.

    RIP Neil Peart

    First saw Rush at the Onondaga County War Memorial on September 18, 1976. One of the 2 - 3 best drummers of all time. A great human being, very diverse, an author and all around great human being.

    The Road Back

    The biggest thing the program lacks right now is talent. Hughes may be an ACC 2nd or 3rd team talent but nobody else on this team scares anybody. Will they in the future, who knows. The backcourt of Buddy and Girard can shoot but is very limited athletically which is exposed in the zone...

    320th Youngest Team in the Country

    Again, not sure what this stat has to do with anything. Also, I am sure many teams (if not all) go through some injury issues over the course of a season. They are part of the game. Howard still played in 29 games and as noted our top recruit for last year was a relatively highly rated point...

    320th Youngest Team in the Country

    Yes, but not for the entire season. And one of the reasons I said not sure what the stat had to do with anything He only played in 29 games last year and missed one outside of the foot issue due to his own fault. 2018-19 Men's Basketball Cumulative Statistics - Syracuse University Athletics

    320th Youngest Team in the Country

    2017-18 Men's Basketball Cumulative Statistics - Syracuse University Athletics and last year we had 3 returning players that averaged over 38 minutes per game in the 2017-2018 season and 2 more who averaged over 27 minutes in the prior season. We still did not win an NCCA tourney game. not...

    Honest question for the 2020 season - will the "home" games be played locally (ie - CNS or Cornell) or will everything after 3/1 be a true road game? Thanks.

    105 Wins & 73 Losses

    What do you think of Girard? Could he be like the Guy kid from UVA by the time he is finishing his sophomore year or as a junior? Guy is listed at 6'2", 175 and can shoot the lights out. I have read various opinions here on him but he is interesting to me as a shooter which is really what we...

    Unacceptable.

    I said we caught a break in 2016 when the 2 seed got upset, and then took advantage of it, congrats to the team. The four game run to the final four in the last 5 seasons has been really one of only few bright spots in the last 5 years. I think even you would agree the trend is not one of an...

    Unacceptable.

    I agree with your comment, I am saying your argument that a sweet sixteen and final four run are reasons to say the program is not in decline do not support the overall picture. Do you disagree there is a real possibility barring a major turnaround this year, that we will miss the NCAA...

    Unacceptable.

    the 2012 - 2013 team was a solid team, well rounded. The run to the final four in 2015 - 16 was a nice run but the team had a very average regular season and was never really in the game vs UNC in the final four. The team took advantage of a first round upset of the 2 seed and had a couple of...

    Unacceptable.

    I think we can all agree there is and has been offensive problems for a number of years. I think it was 3 years ago JB started Coleman, Roberson and Howard, 3 guys who would shoot a combined 35percent from 5 feet and in. I really wonder if JB watches practice. He recruits for defense but the...

    Nova lost to Furman

    they thought Donte would be back until he was MVP of final four and Spellman. Both were at their max draft value so they left. That happens when you win 2 championships in 3 years. A nice problem to have. Young talent trying to learn for the most part.

    Why do we even play UConn?

    should we have played Oregon today? St Bonaventure this year? Northeastern & Buffalo this year? We are going to be their biggest game of the year. Look, UCONN has a strong infrastructure in place and a hot young coach with strong ties to the northeast (where many of our recruits come from)...

    Why do we even play UConn?

    they last won the national championship in 2010 and 2014. Nova has won 2 of the last 3. You really are clueless how these programs can build with solid 4 year players and an occasional 1- 2 year player.

    Why do we even play UConn?

    not trying to throw water on this discussion but UConn has 4 national championships in the last 20 years. Yes they struggled the past two years but my guess is we are going to be recruiting against more frequently going forward.

    Class of 2019 PF Akok Akok (CT) to UConn

    I remember AJ Price tearing it up and I am not positive but I believe we opted for Josh Wright who may have been more highly rated. They may be off by a year but Wright never ended up doing much at Syracuse. Calhoun had a great eye for talent and chemistry. He pulled some real gems who were...

    on howard

    I have not read much today and probably won't. I completely agree with your post the only problem is the "beefy" center doesn't fit the defense we refuse to change. Ditto for smaller guards who can penetrate or shoot consistently. Right or wrong (my personal opinion is it is wrong) we recruit...

    New rules on transfers may be coming in 2018

    I did not read the entire thread but will throw this out there. Let's face it, the term "student athlete" is garbage at the D1 level. Why not let the kids do what they want to do and go where they choose just like most other college students (assuming they are actually progressing towards a...

    LAX Action for March 24-25

    I would like to take the time to thank the AD at

    That wasn't my point and you are obviously looking to put blame somewhere besides on this team. Quick look at Wake's schedule and I don't see 3 out of conference losses like UConn, Gtown & St Johns. My point on the conference schedule is you can't look at records when teams don't play the same...
  45. O

    I would like to take the time to thank the AD at

    I partially agree with your take on Wake except for 2 things. We beat Wake at home, and that comes from playing uneven schedules in conference play. It is much more fair to play all conference opponents 2 times. We also played Pitt & BC twice and I believe they the two worst teams in conference.

    Feel bad for the fifth year transfers

    quick question as you seem pretty connected to the program - on the starting line up out of the gate - did JB watch preseason practice? That line up had 3 players who were very challenged offensively (I understand the Coleman injury situation). You would literally have to win most games 50 -...

    I would like to take the time to thank the AD at

    last year we got in because we beat a couple of good teams at the Atlantis tournament then had a average conference record. This year early we lost to S Carolina & Wisconsin (not bad losses but still need to win one based on the rest of out of conference record) and lost to St Johns (by 38 at...
