I'm feeling old as I say this, but I feel like this is the type of thing that a team that is full of second year players would be really understandable to deal with as fans as we grew with them thinking they'd all be back next year that then becomes less tolerable not knowing that's realistic.

2 for me.

2 for me.

2 for me... can't wait to see everyone.

I laughed at referencing Candor. Of all the small schools in the state to say JGIII's game works against... Candor.

I did something similar by hand this morning, and I keep staring at it and seeing how we have the best Net, 2nd best KenPom, 2nd best SAG, and best BPI amongst all these teams. How we are not more discussed as having the last byes more than being last four in is actually besides me. These...

If he's here the year after Buddy, it has a feel of Boeheim finishing his last year with his son and then going all in for one year Duke / Kentucky style for his swan song. Even if he doesn't end up here, you won't know that until Summer 2022, so this will give us almost like a second team to...

1 to start, will update once I know what I'm doing with my other tickets.

I've never met Adam Weitsman, but I've honestly seen nothing that indicates anything other than a true spirit of philanthropy. I think he wants to make a true mark on lives and sees this as a way to blend a passion with leaving that mark. I wouldn't be surprised if he saw some of the inspiring...

Tommy Devito is a fantastic talent. But behind this offensive line he has literally had no shot. If he is in fact out for the year, I'm completely abandoning any hope of a miracle finish to six wins and a bowl.

I would have said I'd pull the trigger on the $370 right now, because when I bought last year, I got $525 (before fees), and they never got lower after I bought them in mid December. However, last year's game was a Saturday, and this year's is a Monday. I started a thread before I went last...

E. A little more selective with how much I plan around it versus family needs. For instance, my Daughter's 7th birthday is tomorrow. If we go to lunch, and we were playing at 2, I'd insist we plan to be back in time. Now, I'll not worry and let them decide naturally the schedule. Another...

In all honesty, I'm as high on the program as I have been all season this morning, and certainly an amazing amount more than just two weeks ago. Pfister1 made a few great points, but I'll expand with a few of my own. The returners can and will improve. - Dolezaj will get more strength and...

"You want to play for a team like this, especially with the guys we have coming in."

Syracuse basketball forward Oshae Brissett discusses future (video) Watch the actual to get the tone instead of quotes from tweets and draw your own conclusion. I feel pretty good after seeing it.

Supp, to me, if you say everyone stays it's National Championship caliber, then even if Battle and Brissett goes, I think it's not a stretch to say it's a non worry in the tourney team. I don't see how a Howard/Hughes or Carey/Dolezaj/Bazeley/Chukwu or Sidibe lineup misses with Boeheim...

Bees hits this head on with the "Why are great shooting teams off vs us? Defense. Franks a big part of that" quote. Another thing that should be pointed out is that if you thought Dolezaj was the key in the middle of the zone offensively, go back and look at how may of those entry passes to...

You can't ever understand an individual kid's personal situation, so it's stupid to put your emotional opinion on these things. With that said, with the fact that this is a loaded lottery, along with the fact that Oshae has clear things to work on that will unquestionably get better, I think he...

We've been burnt with the year too early exits lately (what if Tyler Lydon was playing tonight?), but this team will be a non worry tournament team next year even if both Battle and Brissett go. If neither does though, holy crap this team is loaded.

If you're looking at mock drafts to say Tyus shouldn't go, you're not thinking about it right. Once he works out, he's going to impress the hell out of a lot of teams. He's probably the best offensive two guard they've had in quite some time. Dion had more potential, but actual college...

You can't convince me that both aren't great coaches. As JB said, look at Pitt without Dixon. I will say that TCU does not yet have the Pittsburgh toughness and that may have been more of the mismatch issue over the 21 JB/Dixon games than Dixon's in game coaching per se. We've always...

The short answer on this one is yes. Which is exactly why there should be literally zero debate of our resume against either MTSU or St.Mary's. Take those out, that those two would definitely go 0-6 against, and then you're comparing our 20-7 record against their records.

I don't have a photographic memory, but I'm pretty sure you're right, as there were two female fans near me in that second row. They would have been on the other side of the stairs from me. I was Section 1, two seats from the aisle, and they were one section to my left. Small world for...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I wanted to post a summary because it was a fun thing to do, but also in case anyone else does it and searches for Duke trip on the site. On Friday, we got into town around 5 or so. We checked into the hotel, I watched some golf, and then we headed to...

Thats good to hear from all that have been. Are there any good Durham breweries that you know of? For RaleighSUFan, I like all kinds of food. The more unique to the area the better. As for JoeySimz...you're pretty much right, but then again, I'm going to the Syracuse game in a week, so...

My best friend is a Duke fan, and both of us turn 40 this year. His birthday was last week, and I had decided to surprise him and get us two tickets to the game next Saturday down at Cameron Indoor. He's going to get a bucket list item out of this. With that said, has anyone on the board...

Honestly, as a parent, you couldn't ask for a cooler moment than when CBS put on Noah's feed for a few minutes. He has to continue to work hard and has some improvements that can be made, but it wasn't hard to squint and see the potential to see the next great broadcaster. He held a few...

Between his contributions as a player and all that he brought as an assistant coach, you can make the case that Hop deserves to be in the discussion for the hypothetical Syracuse Mount Rushmore. 4 gritty years as a player and then 4 Final Fours as an assistant. I know that it's tough to...

I try to avoid the hot take and emotion, and in the end I'm more upset about Syracuse not getting in for the meaning to myself and the program than who did. That said...Providence is the one I would have the most issue with. 20Plus did a great job above. Plus, 10-8 in the Big East isn't...

There's no mention of Syracuse at all in this article, but there are three point guards mentioned here as possibilities to come over to the States next year. The next Lauri Markkanen? International prospects to watch in 2017 The first guy, Joel Ayayi from France sounds interesting. It...

I am also very short on time and have a list of podcasts that I try to squeeze in every week on my way to and from work. For the Francis podcast, I will say that you can easily put it 1 1/2 x and still understand him in full. A lot of my others need to stay on that 1X speed, but in this case...

Thanks again for doing this. I looked at schedules to go and it's worth noting that Virginia Tech as the best chance to get ahead of us, as they 3 of 4 at home and none of the elite teams (Clemson, @BC, Miami, and Wake), while Miami will have a tough time holding the 7 seed (@UVA, Duke...

Thanks for doing this Alsacs. I have to fly on the 8th in the afternoon, and I'm trying to figure out whether to gamble about being on a plane for the 2PM game or the 7PM game. I'm actually thinking of mapping out schedules of all the teams to determine likely seeds. Yeah...that'll work.

I've often wondered at my age, what it all means to be in to sports as much as I am, when certain things in life matter so much more. Why do we sometimes root and get attached to people that wouldn't give us the time of day in the real world? Why did I wake up yesterday in the morning...

Here's a NYPost article on Muhammad and Naz Reid. St. John’s, Seton Hall battle for pair of elite New Jersey recruits | New York Post On Reid, it states that he'll be down to Seton Hall, St. John's, Rutgers, and Syracuse, although Kansas has jumped in.

Here's a NYPost article on Muhammad and Naz Reid. The specific mention on Muhammad and Syracuse is brief and consistent with what's written above. http://nypost.com/2017/01/20/st-johns-seton-hall-battle-for-pair-of-elite-new-jersey-recruits/ On Reid, it states that he'll be down to Seton...

So, I wonder if this thread is worth updating a check in now as to where Howard Washington is at if Quade to Kentucky might be real.

I checked this on a break at work at 2:30. I now just had to turn on two episodes of Daniel Tiger for my daughter to catch up on all the posts. I'm 38, not parenting a 3 year old so I can read about an 18 year old. #Parenthood

I only saw each a handful of times in HS, but I feel that Waiters and Richardson's shots jumped two scouting grades after getting to Syracuse and I'm starting to think that Battle's may have too. Independent of that thought, I wouldn't turn down Diallo or not want him when you literally have...

I think Malachi has more grounds to leave than Ennis or Grant did. The people saying that he would be D-league if he went are a bit biased. He could play in a rotation next year. That said, right now, he's probably in the 15 to 25 range and I think he can only go up. Tyler was never...

Or not so quick :) Well done. Although, I am probably on the opposite end of you regarding 3 point defense versus 3 point offense. You see it as glass half full, where SU's defense can shut down great 3 point shooting teams. I tend to worry before the game in a completely opposite way...

If that was tweeted while doing a game, that means he really can't get over us.

I think this for me is the most surprised going into a two round set to see Syracuse get out of it in my NCAA tournament fandom history. I go back to the late 80's. I'm not sure if I have recency bias or not, but I just spent an hour thinking about and I'm still more shocked to get out of...

I think TheOrangeBuddha makes a great point. In this system, defensively, the 3 and the 4 are the same, just a different side. That provides a ton of flexibility in my eyes to play the best two forwards you have when they're more 3's and than 4's. Because, while synonymous defensively, it...

I sincerely would love for this to be something we get to annually follow with ex Syracuse guys. I have legitimately loved this. Pretty soon we'll be speculating on who could be playing each year…. will Scoop join? CJ Fair? Brandon Triche?

It has to be us flooding the Boeheim's Army feed. The other game looks fine to me.

The feed is horrible. Its not even watchable. It freezes and then picks up for a second. I have had it on the whole time and haven't seen any of the baskets made.

I thought this as well as after reading the Malachi article on OrangeFizz http://orangefizz.net/2015/03/does-malachi-richardson-deserve-to-start-next-year/ Whether it is mistake or intentional, McCullough is left out of the starting lineup.

I hope all posters were able to get home safely. I left Syracuse thinking things were okay-ish. But from Exit 15 to Exit 13 on 81-S, it was just horrific. It took me two and a half hours to get to Apalachin, which is normally 1 hr. 15. min. I hope it was fine to the north, but that...

I have used this before, but my wife has been due with two little girls that were born in March 2011 and March 2014 respectively. Both times, I prayed and wished anything for the health of the babies and my wife. Both years, UConn won the National title. I like to joke that God has a...
