    Non-sports cards also blowing up over the past few years. Pokemon MTG amongst others. Yes, I know, - NERD Alert!

    Boeheim's Army / TBT 2021

    Has there been any further announcement on this? Do we know which region BA will be in?

    I felt compelled to write this...

    There have been many critical posts of JB of late and over recent years. Many expecting things to improve when JB retires. I have seen posts on how difficult it is to follow a HOF coach and how few actually improve on the formers records, winning % etc. but I felt compelled to write this that...

    Boeheim's Army vs Men of Mackey

    1-7 from 3 - Greene in form - imagine how good he'd be if he played with control of Devo? That said - We don't win without him today IMO - how many steals and charges did he take?

    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

    Very bad indeed - The quality of the NCAA product will suffer significantly. I was thinking the same last night as the dog was barking at 3AM. What does a team like Kentucky do if all of the sudden their recruiting class opts for G-League? Or Duke? Do the next recruits in line break from...

    The Most Fun You Can Have in Ten Minutes

    This was the SU team I fell in love with - I have been a lifelong fan but man is that fun to watch. The fast break, run outs intensity - amazing. This past year was a bit better for sure, but how many dunks do you think our teams have had in the past few years? 25% as many as that classic team?

    Class of 2022 PG JJ Starling (Baldwinsville / La Lumiere) Offered

    Man Dior is good! - I just hope he doesn't get a technical every time he taunts a kid - in a game he'd have fouled out a quarter through this video! Maybe this is just a pick-up type game - which it looks like it is but man - getting up in someone chest on every play? Love he is confident and...

    I'm sure others have mentioned as well but I can't help but wonder...

    How good this team could be with Stewart? Imagine what just one quality beefy interior player would do for this specific team. Would solve so many issues to force a team to decide what to take away. Collapse on Stewart and leave even better looks for interior players. High low or "big" to...

    This one is on the coach

    If anything - I thought the pivotal play was Hughes missing that late layup. Tough and off balance yes but one I have grown accustomed to him making with relative ease.

    Tough Stretch but...

    I was reading some of the posts regarding the tough times SU is currently experiencing stating it is time for JB to step aside and let someone else take the reigns - it really does show how most of us today live in the absolute now. I saw a suggestions that Brey or Beilein would certainly do...

    It's all about the A...

    Yes it is early but I find it very interesting the way our team is distributing the ball this year. Five games into the year, and including the worst offensive showing in SU dome history, we have the following: SU is averaging 17.6 assists per game an incredible stat again considering the...

    Assists

    Last year SU averaged 12 assists per game ranking 276/351. So far in exhibition, SU has had 18, and 18 with many players tallying an assist. If SU could average 18 assists this year we'd all be smiling. Last year that'd be top 5 in the country good with likes of Belmont, UNC, MSU, And Gonzaga...

    Time to make your 12th annual IGGY AWARD selections

    Here is my stab... 1) Regular season record. There are 31 regular season games. 19-12 2) ACC regular season record. There are 20 ACC games. 11-9 3) ACC Tournament record. The most we could play is five games and depending on our seed, we could max out at three or five games. Or, of course, we...

    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

    His vision and control is off the charts good. It's hard for me to envision just how loud the Dome could get with some of these moves and finishes. Imagine the roof coming off as opposing coaches shrug their shoulders and shake their heads calling frustration TOs and the Dome would Rock on...

    SU vs Carleton (Exhibition): Tues Oct 29

    I think this was a very good move by JB and intentionally done to get the guys as much preparation as possible ahead of our season opening test. Carleton has a long history of excellence and will give SU a good challenge IMO.

    Etan is one reason that makes me proud of my status as an alumnus.

    The entirety of this situation makes me sad. I love college football and basketball. I've always loved the passion these kids have and the energy the fans can generate at the collegiate level. For me, pro althetes (aside from the playoffs), too often appear to be going through the motions...

    Italy Game #2 (SU 103-54)

    Does anyone know if the game 2 replay will be available on FloSports? I can't find it - game one was posted when I got home Monday night.

    Schedule, times, sites for Syracuse basketball trip to Italy

    Looks like the games will be streamed. My question is will they be available for replay with paid subscription. Does anyone know?

    Thoughts on TBT...

    Others may have a different view but as someone who doesn't get to as many games as I'd like, I have to say that this event was an SU dream for me. I'm a lifelong fan but have never had that kind of opportunity to meet and greet so many players. Over the three days I had the honor to meet...

    I posted a separate thread on coming up this weekend but can anyone recommend a place with fantastic burgers? I have limited time and am looking for the best.

    Roll Call TBT...

    I plan on bringing my boys up from Pittsburgh this weekend. I bought Tix for the whole weekend. Who else is in from the board? It might be nice to meet up. I've been on this board for a long time. My SU fandom runs deep back to early 80s but I don't get to Syracuse often. I really like...

    Boeheim’s Army Roster

    It would be interesting to see what would happen if Melo committed. I bet remaining Tix would sell out in less than and hour.

    NEW PLAYER: 500 More Votes for Boeheims Army to add Andrew White III!- Please vote!

    The followers column can be sorted - BA leads by a wide margin - next closest is WVU at 1727. If it is sorted by social media CP3's team runs away with it - looks like they might have more followers than the rest of the field combined.

    SU vs Carleton (Exhibition): Tues Oct 29

    And decidedly. Some of those scores are ugly. Agree with all, this will be a huge test. Like a sweet sixteen caliber team preseason. I like it.

    Looking back at Syracuse basketball's 2003 NCAA Tournament title run

    Gerry's comments made me laugh. I also remember running aimlessly that night - just around the house instead of the Superdome. That was a high that took a while to come down from. It was a hard earned and well earned run I will never forget. I have signed copies of both magazines shown early in...

    Friday Sweet 16 schedule is a who's who of dirty programs

    Doesn't send the best message about cheating does it? For a true Sinful Sixteen Kansas and Arizona would also be represented here.

    Whatever this team does at halftime

    To your point - this is so discouraging I decided to see by the numbers what is happening. Taking our conference season we have: Outscored opponents in 12/18 first halves with a total of +45pts in 1st halves. We have led at halftime in 7 of our last 8 games including UVA, UNC, and Duke. Been...

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    If he comes here - our recent trajectory changes in a hurry. Talent recruits talent. Success follows success. Let's hope this one goes our way.

    Pomeroy ratings question...

    We are now what I would say a fairly significant way through the season - half way through the schedules of many teams and a start to the conference season at least. I saw SU was hovering in the low 30's for some time after the back-to-back losses at home. I didn't look after the GT loss but...
  34. Ptzburghcuse

    My Take

    I completely agree with this. I am not sure why they revert to passing the ball side to side around the arc ending up with a forced deep shot or a one-on-one prayer. I think we have seen to best of this team in limited portions of the past couple games. For zone - flash to the foul line and...

    The G league games have tens of people in the stands. It must be sad for someone to go from a packed dome to that.

    There were signs

    I love our team in so many ways but damn, I wish we moved the ball on offense. I wonder how high this teams ceiling would be if we made the extra pass for open looks. Way too many late clock heaves and forced shots. Marek doesn’t always look comfortable, but he has a knack for finding guys. I...

    ACC will be brutal this year...

    Not exactly a news flash. Just looking at current Pomeroy ratings... ACC has five (5) of the top ten (10) teams in the country in overall rank (SU currently 7th), four (4) of the top ten (10) offenses (SU #23) in the nation, and and has four (4) of the top six (6) in ranked defenses with...
