Had exact same reaction. Also the Clemson win and no bad losses help.If they did what he said, based off his comments we are in
Strong SOS and NCSOS
Played a lot of tournament teams
Beat Miami and Louisville on road
They also took into consideration Kansas lack of depth and injury and their accomplishments, so that will matter on some level
But bees said we are the second team out. Not sure how he knows. That is concerning
Yea but wouldn't they be doing that any way with the uncertainty, you know, being proactive and prepared?SU is making NIT plans, so they already know something.
And if SU knows, bees knows.
Contingency?SU is making NIT plans, so they already know something.
Su doesn't know anything until the selection show.SU is making NIT plans, so they already know something.

I have been following college bball and the selection show a long time I have never heard of info leaking before the selection show. Obviously all su fans players and the school know we will be one of the last teams in or out.
Not saying it happens every year or with every team, but word tends to slip out. Not directly to the public (excluding 2016's leak), but to individual schools.
It would not surprise me if Syracuse knows to pay close attention to the URI-Davidson game today.
DISCLAIMER - I have NO inside information here. Just what I have been told in previous years about what was known/not known.

I'm definitely more optimistic about our chances after hearing that interview. The fact that strength of schedule and road wins were both emphasized in that discussion has to be somewhat good for our chances...If they did what he said, based off his comments we are in

The 2016 leak was after the selection show had gone 45 minutes only 2 regions released.

All I know is what I have been told about the past from a very reliable source. If you know better, good for you.The 2016 leak was after the selection show had gone 45 minutes only 2 regions released.
People were pissed with CBS stretching it out.
There is ZERO POINT ZERO chance Syracuse has been told our fate early. The NCAA will tell us to have contingency plans in place but they aren’t leaking that stuff. We have no people on the committee anyway.
It’s total hearsay. If he wasn’t a moderator it would get a lot more crap.
My sr year, yes it was in the past century, I know for a fact that we knew before the official word was out on tv. and we were a bubble team. We had lost to the bonnies in the ECAC.I have been following college bball and the selection show a long time I have never heard of info leaking before the selection show.

If he is right lay the cards out.All I know is what I have been told about the past from a very reliable source. If you know better, good for you.
Do you believe a “source” on the committee told somebody at SU we are the 2nd team out and that source told Bees.My sr year, yes it was in the past century, I know for a fact that we knew before the official word was out on tv. and we were a bubble team. We had lost to the bonnies in the ECAC.
No. I don't believe that Syracuse was told they were the second team out. If someone was to tell syracuse that they are out, and I don't think they would at this point, they wouldn't tell them in my opinion, you were the second team out. Why would they do that? Who cares? Either you are in or out. Where you fell doesn't matter. And did they tell only us? Or other schools. say the team that was the first team out? Do they know?Do you believe a “source” on the committee told somebody at SU we are the 2nd team out and that source told Bees.
I believe your story. I don’t believe that crap. If he is right he should just tell people it’s over see you on Tuesday at the Dome. No reason not to go all-in if you know.
