Worst loss in JB era?

[OrlandoCuse]

He’s never lost to Colgate. I can’t think of a worse loss under JB. Sure, we’ve had a few bad losses. Cleveland St at the buzzer. But this one seems like the worst because we got completely drilled by a team that we’ve feasted on since for the past 6 decades.

Vermont, Richmond are 1,000x worse. I put this closer to the Lemoyne debacle.

 

[jncuse]

Purely in terms of spread I have to assume there are a fair amount worse than 10.5.

That being said when its a 54 game win streak against a regional "rival" its more painful, and moves up the list quickly.

Going back to 2016 - the loss to a terrible St. John's team by 30+ has to be up there.

 

[CuseCPT]

Vermont and Richmond are way worse because of the context and the fact that those were loaded teams.

Lemoyne didn’t even count.

Vermont and Richmond were at least tourney teams, played on the road basically in front of hostile crowds.

This is freakin Colgate at home, by double digits.

The DePaul loss by 40 was pretty bad.

Colgate is pretty good. We have lost to worse teams than Colgate before. It's just they're a local rival and we've beaten them for 100 years basically.

There have been a lot worse to teams worse than what Colgate is. back in '82 or 83, , we got beat by Fordham.

Yeah, including the tournament makes it way different.

Regular season against a team you've never lost to? Hard to top it.

Worst loss, as in worst loss to a team we were expected to beat and by a semi-blowout level

UVM and Richmond, while bad losses, were NCAA teams. And they weren’t blowouts. They definitely hurt a lot worse.

LeMoyne was an exhibition. Bad, but doesn’t officially count.

Was this the longest winning streak in sports?

You guys have no idea how good that Vermont team truly was. Yes the Su team was better but watching Vermont that year while I was at Binghamton was insane. They dominated. This loss is way worse especially considering the game WAS 17-2

DePaul 2006. St. John’s in the 2017 season. The 2nd UMass loss at the Dome in 07 or 08. We were up big there too.

 

[Madbiker]

That might be the most inept display of defense I have seen in the JB era.
We have been upset in much bigger games but usually because we didn't score or shoot well. We didn't guard Colgate the last 30 minutes of the game. Literally it was just a fest of wide open shots. And when they missed they beat us to the rebounds.

I thought you were in high school now. Thought 04 was your birth year.

That was a really good Syracuse team that was finally playing to its potential. That Vermont game was so depressing.

Big East and A-10 teams though.

Patriot League is not the same level.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Most shocking part to me was the huge lead we blew

Worse thing to happen to us in this game was jumping out 17-2. I actually thought, and I have been worried about this game for a while, that I was glad i didn't go. It's not going to be as tough as I thought it would be, Now, truth be told, I never thought that we would lose the game. Just that it would be a tough game. Sort of like the way they actually won the game tough.

Losing to BC when ranked #1 was a kick in the nads. I think Cuse was a 13 or 14 point favorite that game. At the time it was the biggest upset of a #1 team going according to the point spread.

It does look like it was the longest active winning streak of single matchup in college basketball

Congrats to this version of SU basketball. They made history

 

[GardenOrange]

In JB coaching era, where does this one rank in worst all time Upset defeats? This one has gotta be top 3. Also is that 3 upstate NY losses in 4 years? Shocking.

 

[Janner]

To much hype with this team, way to many weaknesses, its a bubble team, thats the reality.

 

[jncuse]

I think I just saw this exact thread recently.
Could be wrong!

 

[dasher]

I brought up the Fordham game back in the early 80's. and that was a not so good Fordham team. I actually rented a motel room to get the cable to watch that game. I think the Ohio loss in the Carrier classic a few years ago was pretty bad.
