"Inconceivably," ..." last team in" (Lunardi)

[cto]

That is Joe's latest spouting about SU.

I mean 2 weeks ago? We were firmly out. I’d say this is decent progression. This team reminds me a little of 2005

2006? 2005 we went 27-6.

 

[orangenauburn]

We are better than five of the seven he has immediately ahead of us

 

[Cusefan0307]

Starting to think we are going to get in and it’s not going to be nearly as close as the bracket experts think. We are playing some of the best ball of anyone right now.

 

[Orangezoo]

Louisville is not still a bye. That is just lazy to have them there. I have us over Boise, Ville and Drake.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s as close as people think either... I think we’re the 1st 12 anyway.

 

[JRHEETER]

Lunardi is a joke when it comes to Cuse

Yes we are but it’s the total season that counts.

 

[UpstateSM]

Think this fits here

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Technically he didn’t say Syracuse itself getting in was inconceivable... but the ACC getting 8 teams was .. I know .. I know ... splitting the hairs Linardi doesn’t have

 

[Orangezoo]

True but we lost barely to Rutgers down two key players, Pitt shortly after a pause and are one of the only teams who didn't get a home quad 1 game. Our Road losses are all quad 1 except Pitt. So our Quad 1 is deceiving and thus when you look at the whole season and resume it's a little different than just a number.

Fixed for you

The question I have is how closely does the selection committee take into account the factors you mentioned? We lost to Rutgers down 2 players. Does the committee really go that deep into such possible reasons for a loss?

Gutierrez made a lot of rookie mistakes trying to cover this team. He needs a mentor to teach him how to be a good journalist.

Inconceivable to someone who knows little about college basketball...

Well if they don't then they see the bad losses and massive amounts of Q3 and Q4 wins for teams supposedly above us and then it's no question. Way too much stock being given to the talking heads. So either way we are better positioned than many think. Everyone is banking on Quad 1 being 100 pct the answer to whose in or out. It has never been like that and this year is different and will force them to go deeper.

I think he could use some time covering a team in a little less intense environment. Syracuse is a tough place to learn on the fly.

Yes. We don't know things that they don't know. these guys really try to do a good job.

 

[Orangello]

You need this Joebag

 

[Orangezoo]

Yes. We don't know things that they don't know. these guys really try to do a good job.

Exactly plus if you listen to interviews from two years ago the level of detail they went into was impressive.

Never go up against a Boeheim when a bid is on the line

He should cover a six foot and under league!!!!

It's exactly what he meant, given the kind of year the ACC had.

I'm not his biggest fan, but it's not a crazy quote.
