    Expectations for next season.

    I can't stand what NIL and the transfer portal has become. I am all for players getting compensated for image and likeness, but what its become is really bad for the game. Also what's really bad for the game is the portal. If a player wants to transfer fine, go on to greener pastures, but why...

    I hate:

    I hate that even though there are a million reviews to "get things right", you can't review a bad foul call from the ref... heck even make it a coaches challenge 1 per half under 2 minutes to go.

    GMAC to Siena

    Seeing other teams at the tourny this year, some squads have a million coaches. Take AZ for example, I think half the bench is a coach in one form or another, to say we are anemic in this area is an understatement.

    NCAA 1st Round Games for Fri March 22

    so many bad teams, and we couldn't sniff the bubble. ugh

    NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 21

    BYU beat Iowa State this year, and was in the top 25 for a large portion this season... just played turrable.

    Statement from Red

    I'll clarify: it didn't need to be done in a press release type of announcement... to one up the women's team.

    Statement from Red

    it didn't need to be public, heck communicate it to ESPN, and put it up on the screen as Teams of note that declined participating in the NIT. Done.

    NIT Bracketology

    selfishly would have watched SU in the NIT, as for me, it is fun to see SU in the post-season still playing. Maybe that is a bit of nostalgia for me and times have changed where only the NCAA counts, but it's always sad when the season ends. As for the portal... I think it's silly that anyone...

    Cuse opens as 9 point dogs at Clempson.

    I could see that if we are talking about seeding implications, not from a bubble perspective.

    Cuse opens as 9 point dogs at Clempson.

    a ton of question marks to gauge with that line. Will Clemson play their A game after the ND loss? Will we play hair on fire and for our tourny lives? I see a bunch of twitter folks calling this game a lock for SU to at least cover... not sure what to think lol, so I am staying far away from...

    Lunardi

    does Lunardi still change his bubble teams like an hour before the selection show, where he magically changes a bunch of teams? he's a hack and just does this for clickbait, but honestly throw the last 8-12 teams in a blender as there is not much to sperate any of 'em.

    What will it take to beat Clemson?

    To me the key will be, can Bell knock down some shots? Will the refs call nickle dimer's on us, while letting clemson play bully ball? Will we regress into iso drives to no-where instead of passing/cutting and getting a good shot? I am more worried about the above than anything Clemson will run...

    Another Win. Another Drop in the NET?

    also the fact that we got crushed by FSU at home probably didn't help either

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

    the Dons had a rough first 10 minutes of the second half giving up a 24-3 run.

    Nit/Ncaa chances

    with this team we could go 4-0, or 0-4 or any combination. I think a loss to the ville or ND basically eliminates us from dreaming. Losing to one of Clemson or VT keeps status quo, but most likely will need a deep run in the ACC tourny. If we go 4-0, and get a win in the ACC tourny we are right...

    Nit/Ncaa chances

    remember when "the last 10 games" was a metric used to justify teams getting in? Usually those teams did fairly well in the NCAA's too. I think bringing that narrative back as well as maybe using a sliding scale of efficiencies where if you blow out bad Q3/4 teams (which is more likely than not)...

    ACC to keep 20 conference games, only 15 teams make ACCT

    exactly you could have 17/18 play in for the 16th seed and 15/16 for the 15th seed, really short sited.

    ACC to keep 20 conference games, only 15 teams make ACCT

    I can see only 20 league games, but not every team in the conference tourny? that's some BS right there

    UNC opens -7.5 at Cuse.

    I don't think we give up like last time, but 7.5 seems like a stretch even at full strength with this squad
  22. Marty McFly

    Clemson opens -2 at Cuse.

    This smells like a trap line to me. I expect we are gonna get waxed, but who knows?

    The Talk

    what this team lacks the most is a leader when things go sideways, that's the biggest missing ingredient this year IMHO. Maybe we have that and don't have the pieces to execute well when the chips are down as well, but I have never seen more apathy from a team once they are in a hole against a...

    Brown vs Bacot

    Don't think this is the matchup that will determine the game. I think we need to hit some 3's or even the most herculean effort on Bacot wont mean a dang thing.

    FSU NIL Violations

    NET and KenPom Tracker 23-24 (SU = 84 3/9/24)

    clearly margin of victory is weighted heavily. Keep it close against highly ranked teams and blow out everyone else. At some point you'd think raking up the losses would have some detrimental affect, we'll see.

    Observations

    it seems red has continued the promise of starting to certain folks, ala JB. Not ideal, and if they don't get the quick hook when they don't have it, then we are almost always starting both halves behind the eight ball.
  36. Marty McFly

    Red grade so far

    Hard to judge since we won the games we should have. So I'll say "meets expectations". Red is growing into the role, but the lack of the players intensity (for big parts of games) and rebounding are issues that need correcting and fast. The iso-based offense just isn't working if Judah is out...

    What do the casual fans think of Coach Fran?

    What do the casual fans think of Coach Fran?

    Most folks I know that are casual, seem to ask "who's this Fran Brown guy"? "Is he any good"? I doubt a new coaching change is gonna move the needle in terms of excitement until they see results on the field. I honestly can't blame them.

    St Rose Postgame thoughts

    haven't read through the thread, but offense didn't seem to run "plays" from what I saw. Not to much ball movement. The game would have been a lot closer without that 7 point play by Bell, which basically was the game. Defense was a lot of standing around, lots of reaching and poor positioning.

    Southwest is coming to SYR

    Not sure how important this new route will be. I'd personally rather have delta service back at MSP, or SW to Denver. Not sure if that will ever happen, but Ultra low cost carriers like these don't move the needle for me.
  44. Marty McFly

    Good win but nothing is learned from it...

    the lesson I learned was that we still don't go under center when it's third and a foot, and it almost always results in a loss of yardage or incomplete pass.
