All I can say is that the team displayed an aspect which should be encouraging to all Cuse fans. There can be no argument as to the deficiencies of this team... but yesterday was a demonstration of the teams ability to optimize what they have... it should be noted that they have made significant...

He has the clutch gene...but he's no GMAC

Sorry for your loss. Pets ARE family members for sure.. and obviously your boy was ORANGE!!!!

Hop returning to Cuse would be a win/win for both Hop and Cuse. Hop as HC at Cuse offers so much more on the + side than the -. Hop would reinvigorate the program as a young coach who is perfectly endowed with an understanding of the program, it's traditions, the zone... and no other coach...

He Gone!

Perhaps we will be graced by the re-surfacing of Mantonio or Rockslide7

Welcome aboard! and FWI... hold on to your seat! In all seriousness it is nice to see new people contributing.

Hmm... gotta get Walton's rubber stamp? ...does Hop smoke weed?

This team is not very good. The expectations prior to the season start have not come to fruition. Frank Howard has not shown that he has the ability to run the team on offense and it's a little late to just be attributing that to his ankle injury. I think most people expected that with Battle...

What's not normally taken into account is that we often win some games we aren't expected to win and lose some games that we are expected to win. There is always the possibility of unexpected things happening which help/ hurt us. ( The Duke game injury ). I think the team has demonstrated that...

Fantastic!... In the running for POTY..(post of the year) I think there is nothing more rewarding in life than seeing the success of one's children. Having watched her develop her skills and having it culminate in playing at the collegiate level is in itself a wonderful accomplishment. To have...

It's pretty much an unspoken assumption by all the players... make no brain W-T-F turnovers and you risk getting "Boeheimed"

Interesting to know that. Thanks for pointing that out. He brings things to the team which are very valuable IMHO. His presence on the team is going to continue to pay dividends to the program. As he gains strength and experience he will continue to increase in his importance. Love the kid.

I'm assuming that the stats for the GT game are included in that 40th ranking thus far this year? What was the ranking prior to that game which is arguably an outlier.

I think that it's hard to dispute that this team has shown some marked improvement since the start of the season. I think we may be able to look back at the GT loss as being the turning point for this group. It may be the best loss we have all season if in fact it elicited changes which got...

Walk on, perp walk off. I'm in agreement that it seems rather harsh that someone can be adjudicated guilty in the court of public opinion prior to having their side of the story heard. We live in a time where people are all to willing to allow their own bias, prejudice, and personal beliefs to...

It seems like an exercise in futility to revisit the departure of former players. There doesn't need to be some pervasive flaw in the recruiting process/ talent evaluation. Sometimes is just doesn't work out. It really is as simple as that. Phat Orange referenced the tape which chronicled KJ's...

Me thinks you just had another large one right here.

Actually, no, I don’t believe it is. It’s vastly more important how a team performs at the end of the year than the earlier part of the season. The season provides the opportunity to develop the team and the talent of the individual players into something greater than the sum of its individual...

It was only 9 days ago that I settled in to watch the team that among all of the sports world I love the most and have subjected my emotions to pretty much 365 days a year. Once the season ends I just switch gears and try to dig up every morsel of info as to which high school kids we might get...

I think a tremendous amount of credit should be given to Pascal. His journey has been long an arduous having transferred from PC and then sitting out and committing himself to becoming whatever it was that JB had in store for him. He has worked very hard and there have been times when we have...

He was total Trunk Monkey Madness tonight... Dude deserves max solid props.

Elijah Hughes throws up an impossible hail Mary shot at the 1/2 time buzzer from 80 FT...… That shot doesn't go in... Do we have a chance at all to end up tied at the end of regulation. I THINK NOT... Kudos to Elijah... and the entire team for a gutsy performance like we haven't seen since...

Sadly, much, if not all of what you say is truthful. It's not just that this team is flawed... as you allude, we do not have the talent and worse, our offense is absolutely horrific, predictable, inefficient and boring to watch. One has to wonder what the current state of affairs would be had JB...

This post didn't age well.

Been following Cuse ball since 73... Worst state of the program since Deshaun Williams debacle.

Impressive gutsy performance by the Cuse. Great job and incredible that they came back from down 10 in the first half. Hughes was dynamite.

Most sincere condolences for your loss. The loss of a parent is always life altering. Wishing that you are showered with grace to comfort you and temper your sorrow. I lost my father 23 years ago and a day does not go by that I don't think of him and miss him. I am comforted in seeing his traits...

Green is the one who lost out the most on this. Had he come to Cuse the world would have been his oyster. It's impossible to say what would have happened had he chosen Cuse over KY (jelly) . Would Tyus have returned for this season? Perhaps... but each addition or deletion from a team can have...

For crying out loud... is it so hard to support and stand behind our players? SMH.

As long as our shooters don't come down with "shaky potatoes" I think we'll be alright.

Oh my... I can almost hear the moaning, groaning and gnashing of teeth. I pray we dispense of the Husky scourge.

Impossible to ever forget that game. It seemed crushing at the time. Someone upthread mentioned the lack of the internet chatter back then... it seemed we were starved for information about the team and college basketball in general. But as the season unfolded to become, what for me was the...

My take is... we have an abundance of talent... but this team has a long long way to go in learning how to play together with all the parts. Carey impressed me greatly. Buddy Boy will need time to adjust to this level of play but in time should pay nice dividends. I agree that Frank needs to be...

Well... it wasn't very long ago that a fellow denizen of this board assured me that we would bead Duke every time we played them this season... and I mean he was adamant... as Donald Trump would say... We'll have to wait and see...

1) 27-4 2) 15-3 3) 3-0 4) 6-0 5) Hughes 19.2 6) Hughes 9.7 7) Tyus 34.3 8) Syracuse 85-Duke 79 Tiebreaker-Buddy Boy 43

At 12-1 for Final 4 I know that I'd be nuts not to lay at least a hundred bucks on that. Although making the $ on it would be nice and also ratchet up the level of excitement... the thrill of Syracuse making it to the final 4 and beyond cannot have a $ amount placed on it. It puts spring in my...

I just want to for the record... thank Tyus Battle for choosing to return for his senior year. That decision has galvanized a level of optimism and excitement for Syracuse basketball that frankly, we haven't seen since the teams that climbed to # 1 but who's hopes were dashed by the loss of our...

Steve... always look forward to your posts. Insightful, objective, interesting, and fact based. You are a board treasure!

Brilliant! (and a bonafide knee slapper to boot) well played indeed.

Whoooopie! LGO!!

This...for sure

Bottom line is that the pay side initiation process is steeped in mystery and cloaked with cryptic symbolism and is seemingly more exclusive than even Skull and Bones. Still, it's the best $9.95 a month that I spend. I would never... repeat, never let my membership lapse.

Excellent post!

All I can say is Tyus didn't come back to just get back to a sweet sixteen. He came back to try to win it all. Regardless of whether anyone would dare to say it... SU is going to try to win it all this year... and I believe that they believe...Let the season begin!

Yanks a bitter disappointment. In the end the Sox are a better team. Better starting pitching and better tougher hitters... and did I mention that Boone is a horrible manager?
