    Realistic current roster going into the portal opening

    I might be in the minority on this board, but I am not concerned if Bell leaves. Great shooter (when he can get the ball) but really lacking in every other area. I think we need to upgrade his spot with a more well rounded player who can shoot. This years team couldn't rebound and played zero...

    I will always remember getting All American status during the 2024 NIT Bracketology thread!

    NIT Bracketology

    And so be it. He was a project to begin with, with very little P5 production. I am tired of the projects we take on. Let guys develop elsewhere and then scoop them up. I am tired of the project centers, I just want another Christmas :(

    NIT Bracketology

    You all are hysterical. This is what the majority of the board wanted all year, major roster overhaul. I see this as a positive. How many guys on the current roster get playing time on our past teams? Maybe 2-3 as role players. This is an opportunity to do what we have neglected to do the last 5...

    NIT Bracketology

    Was at that game, fans really showed up for that team in support.

    NIT Bracketology

    It’s no different than bowl games these days. What’s the risk vs reward? The reward is you win the NIT. The risk is you get injured playing in a mostly meaningless tournament and lose money, draft status, etc.

    NIT Bracketology

    Love watching SU basketball. The season is a litmus test to make the NCAA tourney. We have been on such a downslide for so long this just feels like an extension of that. We are historically one of the greatest college programs of all time. I just don’t care about the NIT. If that makes me nuts...

    NIT Bracketology

    I could be completely off based here, and my personal opinion is we should bail as well. With that being said, the comments made publicly by some of the players after the game coupled with Red wanting more games/experience leads me to believe we would accept a bid. Like many others have said...

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    Precisely. That’s my point. We need to quit taking on projects and get starters out of the portal. No more excuses. The time is now to turn it around.

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    I like JJ and Brown as key pieces. I think the rest of the starting lineup should be guys that aren’t currently on the team.

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    I do believe that. We started a forward at center and a small forward/2 guard at the 4 who averaged like 4 ppg in conference play. Bell can be a great scorer but I’m not as bullish on him as some because his defense is a net negative most games. This is Syracuse Basketball, if we can’t pull in...

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    I love Q as a 6th man and spark off the bench. He doesn’t play more than 15-20 mins per game on a solid tourney team. He doesn’t shoot the ball well enough for a guard and he’s turnover prone. Qs replaceable and as much as I hate to see him leave, this shows me that Red is serious about...

    Poll: Do We Even Want To Be In The NIT?

    The portal opens on March 18th. The priority right now should be the roster. This isn’t 2008 where you want to get freshman and younger guys more game time for next season. Fix the roster, the NIT has no benefit to P5 programs in 2024.

    Players Returning Next Year

    The success of Red and the immediate success of this program is heavily dependent on major roster changes. This roster as is, cannot successfully compete the way Red wants to play. When I listen to Red, I believe he has a vision on how he wants Syracuse Basketball to look. I think back to...

    NC State opens -1.5 over Cuse…

    I wanted Louisville. It’s tough to beat any team twice, better yet 3 times. People questioning who we’d rather play is silly. The 8 win team is the answer. Clark had 30+ points and Ville shot the lights out and still lost. I expect Horne will play. Tough game, hope the guys are ready.

    ACCT Games for Mar 12

    Beating NC State or Louisville does nothing. We just have to survive and advance. Wins over Duke and Virginia would give us a shot I would think. Think Louisville is an easier team for us to beat a 3rd time.

    Clemson Postgame Thoughts 2

    I was just reading through Mike Waters social media posts. One from yesterday piqued my interest so I was reading the comments. It turned into a family member of a certain player on our team calling Mike a sloppy journalist for having the ACC points per game wrong for this particular player...

    Clemson Postgame Thoughts 2

    Wonder what two ACC tournament wins does for us. I hate feeling like we have to win the whole thing because that’s just not likely. Maybe 2 and we have a shot? It’s doubtful but I’m holding onto a slight sliver of hope.

    What will it take to beat Clemson?

    He’s been good not committing fouls but I believe that has hurt his interior D some. He’s great at getting steals and deflecting passes but I’ve definitely noticed a drop off since Naheem has been out. Can’t blame him for not wanting to contest shots, he needs to be on the court with no suitable...

    What will it take to beat Clemson?

    It’s simple and surprising it hasn’t been mentioned yet. Foul trouble. If Brown gets in foul trouble we have zero chance. It’s my biggest concern.

    Syracuse Bubble/NET/ACC Rooting Guide 2/28 to 3/9

    I have this terrible feeling that one more win even if it is at Clemson, won’t be enough. I don’t agree with us being left out if we have 21 wins but I think we may need at least 2 wins, maybe 3. It ultimately comes down to how much value the committee puts on the NET. Not even being in the last...

    Louisville Postgame Thoughts

    In all honesty, do we want the double bye? Clearly we need a win at Clemson. I believe Wake still gets the 4 seed if they win 1 out of 2 due to the tiebreaker. I really want UVA, they can’t score.

    Virginia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Beat Louisville and the Clemson game becomes a potential play in. We still have a shot, all we can ask for.

    ND post game

    It’s really all about each individual fans expectations for the season. If you just wanted to see a competitive team that wins more than they lose, you’re satisfied. I don’t love the NET, unfortunately it is what the committee is using so it’s a relevant discussion topic for a bubble team.

    ND post game

    Oh I’m not saying that the players are without fault here. Certainly makes you wonder what the minute distribution would be if we had everyone available. Devils advocate is that we are 30 games into a season. This team gets labeled as “young” but most of them have significant playing time in...

    ND post game

    You’re not wrong, but I think we can both acknowledge squandered opportunities. A close win is always better than a loss. My perspective is that Red hasn’t figured out how to get his team refocused when things start slipping. It’s not just in large blown leads that end up wins, but in losses...

    Never said he was a bad coach. I’ve observed a pattern with this team which I think coaching has something to do with. I just said I’d like to see more before I form an opinion. One season isn’t enough. It’s okay to root for the guy, but point out bad trends/games. Not everything has to be...

    ND post game

    You fail to mention that what we’ve been discussing for weeks is the NET. Our win margin and loss margin is why our NET is so poor and why we are not squarely on the bubble. Beating a 10 win team at home by 3 does nothing for us. Those margins matter.

    We won. That is all that matters right now

    Always happy to win. It is okay to be critical sometimes. This team has some serious flaws, and overall have probably met expectations. Red and the team have had some some good days and some bad ones. Today I think was a poor coaching job. Giving up 20+ point leads have happened several times...

    Really great job by everyone on the tribute. The video pulled at some heartstrings.

    ND post game

    I might be in the minority here, but Red has been really bad in many games. This team has blown huge leads in a few games which is coaching. We have played a good 40 minute game twice all season against UNC and Oregon. A win is a win, but having a 29 point lead evaporate against a 10 win team...

    where can we finish

    I believe we still have a path to the double bye. It’s not probable, but that’s why the games are played.

    Ehhh so do we. Nova is 3-6 against Quad 1. Right now we are 3-7. They are 5-2 against Quad 2 and we are 3-1. Their good wins were in November. We have a better overall record and have improved. One of their good wins was a team we also beat. They are also 2-3 against Quad 3 where we are 6-2. I...

    Keats is my least favorite coach.

    I can't dislike someone who never beats us. I dislike Hurley on principle, and his screaming and running around are a bit much. Keats does not beat us, therefore I enjoy seeing him on the sidelines.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    If we won out, double bye is still in play. We would have the tiebreaker with Pitt. Wake still has to play Duke and Clemson. Not super realistic, but there is a chance.

    The first month of the season I thought this roster would be fun to watch no matter what. Boy was I wrong, this is the end of the JB era with just more man to man. Gross basketball.

    Clemson Postgame Thoughts

    Don’t think Red coached a bad game. I do think he should have utilized a timeout when we tied the game. The guys were gassed at that point. Would have been a nice time to get a breather with under 4 to go.

    No more bubble talk please

    Masked by some tourney runs as double digit seeds. Been an argument on here for a while. Some people say the only thing that matters is the tournament, which I don’t agree with. Since the Ennis team fell apart at the end we’ve been on a steady decline. It started with recruiting misses and...

    No more bubble talk please

    All about impact transfers. You’ve seen the splash SU football has made. Basketball needs to follow suit and get P5 contributors. Feel like we’ve been relying on potential for too long. When potential doesn’t pan out this happens.

    BC Postgame Thoughts

    It’s been a rough few years for us. I just want the program to be elite again. Have to believe Red knows what’s expected of him and will shakeup the roster next year, especially if we miss the tournament. It’s nothing personal against our players, there are just too many guys on this roster who...

    What is it with these rotations?

    I like Red and he has had some well coached games. Thought he fumbled the rotation tonight and really put us in a hole. We need to start Q and give Bell spurt minutes if he’s on. I’ve seen enough of the starting lineup. We’re constantly waiting for subs to turn the game for us. It’s time to stop...

    So @Wake is now a must win

    We need Wake, Clemson, and UNC. It’s not happening with this team. I don’t like being the overreaction guy, but I just don’t see any way we make it.
