There are 270 players currently participating in the NBA playoffs. Two from SU (Anthony and Hughes). The most representation is Kentucky with 15 followed by Duke with 12.

Hmmm!! Good answer.

Can anyone recall the ACC ever being so weak? Just two teams in the Top 25. The Big Ten has twice as many in the Top Ten. What's going on?

The most NBA pros we ever had on one team was 6. This happened twice. 1988-89 Douglas, Thompson, Coleman, Owens, Johnson, Manning 1989-90 Owens, Coleman, Thompson, Ellis, Johnson, Manning (arranged by mins played)

We have had 3 McAA players on the same team 6 times. 1989-90 Owens, Coleman, McRae 1990-91 Owens, Autry, McRae 1992-93 Autry, Wallace, McRae 2007-08 Greene, Flynn, Devendorf 2011-12 Melo, Christmas, Carter-Williams 2012-12 Carter-Williams, Christmas, Coleman

We played their two bottom feeders last year and got spanked. Year before our F4 team didn't do any better. Not much superiority recently . Kids have short memories.

NYC Metro area to Syracuse too far????? My concern it is another indicator that the BE is in re-assendancy with NYC Metro kids.

Indeed. Without Andrew White last year we would have been toast. Andrew is second only to Melo in PPG and yet remains unheralded at SU.

The stats above are old. Also, if you use career averages for PPG it changes the list. This is for the JB era only. 1. Carmelo Anthony 22.2 2. Andrew White III 18.5 3. Billy Owens 17.9 4. Donte Greene 17.7 5. John Wallace 16.7 6. Jonny Flynn 16.6 7. Wes Johnson 16.5 8. Pearl...

No, it was on Jerry Tarkanian :) Check 17:00 Tom Brennan discusses epic win over Syracuse

Terrific job OrangeXtreme in bringing us the details. Thanks.

e e Ah yes. Second year in a row we did not make the NCAA tournament. Knocked out of BET in the first round. Rumors of JB's demise. Yes, we were in a slide then too and that would last one more year (although Red Bruin was a McDAA). Then we captured the Pearl and SU basketball was never...

e Good comments. The one and done thing has certainly thrown a monkey wrench into things and we have indeed had some good success in recent years. Look - the other side of the coin to my post ... JB seems to be wrestling with the problem. He is turning to graduate transfers to recapture...

This is JB's 19th team this century. He had 23 last century. I have seen them all and I think this year's team may be the worst. Brace yourself for rough ride. Check which JB team in the past did not have any McDAAs, had only one 5 star rated recruit, had 4 or less returning players and was...

Marek is 6'-9", less than 200# and a foreigner. My expectations are low. Maybe a fast bloomer and Melo Center hog. Van Horn was a 240# American.

I am only referencing the 89-90 season in this string. The Hoya game I am referring to was played at the Dome March 4, 1990, in front of a national attendance breaking crowd (last reg. game of the season). Michael Edwards played 42 mins in that game, just 1 min. less than Billy Owens. The...

Good post with sound data. No unsubstantiated, loose, opinionated reflections from you :) I actually think JB liked Michael Edwards as PG. I say this because the next season he had other options, yet Edwards still played 5th in minutes. With the arrival the following season (91) of Lawrence...

"The problem was, he wasn't any good." Hmmm. Consider this. Michael Edwards was just 4 points shy of being the only PG in SU history to lead his team to a BE league title and a BE tournament title in the same year. He joins Eddie Moss, the Pearl, the General and Jason Hart in winning the BE...

No, it was a major JB blunder. Frosh Michael Edwards replaced Dave Johnson at the start of BE schedule that year and thereafter started every game (4th in tot. mins played). He led the team to the BE title, beating a super Hoya team of Mourning/Mutombo and Stoudimire in the final game. He was...

Well, your memory here will be a lot sharper than mine, having been at the game. I watched it again. Your criticism of Edwards doesn't hold. He only played 9 mins in the 1st half and we were ahead by 4 at the half. He scored twice as many points as Johnson in half the time and as many as...

Sorry for the delay, only get a few mins here a day. Don't buy your comment. Edwards only played 9 mins - he was not the problem. Sure Lynch and Newbern were much bigger at 6'-5" and 6'-4" respectively. Edwards was just 5'-10" and a Fr. Mike Hopkins was 6'-5" and JB never put him in the...

Dave Johnson, Rich Manning, Tony Scott, Mike Hopkins and Conrad McRae off the bench. With Anderson, four McDAAs. Mind boggling. Without Anderson, we won BE league, lost in the final of BE tourney and in the S16. This team seriously under performed. Can't blame that all on Edwards. Not JB's...

2014-15 - 8th 2015-16 - 10th 2016-17 - 9th That's our record in the ACC the last three years and these were better teams than we will likely have this year. SU basketball is in decline.

More fun stats from that game: Bernie and Ernie and Louis & Bouie all fouled out Bernie and Ernie both had a double/double - with 12 RBs each. The mighty rebounder Bouie had just 2. Louis had 9; neither had a double/double - but we won Darden had 12 Asts, Kindel had 3 - and we won Bernie &...

I expect this is the only surviving game of the 1977 team, albeit with the finish missing. Only other possibility would be the Charlotte S16 game, which I can find no trace of. Although there are a few tiny snippets of the Bonny game out there.

What a find Alsacs. Brilliant. SU playing man, UT playing zone! JB's first season as head coach and still playing Roy's loose, fast, style. Unfortunately missing the OT ending, which we won 93-88. Larry Kelley leading scorer with 22. Got blown out next round (S16) by Charlotte and Cedric...

I was surprised at the sentiment expressed here at HOP's 4-5 record. It would have been totally inappropriate for him to have broken stride with JB's system over a 9 game mid-season stretch. I am sure HOP and JB had that clear understanding. The exact opposite should have been the case. HOP...

The ACC got 9 teams into the tourney this year. But for Roy, the conference blows up. Eight of them flamed out by the 2nd round.

The AAC is a nice conference. 30% of their teams finished with a higher RPI than SU, which at 84 was good enough for the middle of the ACC.

I believe this is the first game he has ever started in the NBA. Played 39 minutes. Somebody has successfully lit a fire under him. Well done Tyler.

About 2012, the hotest guard prospect in the nation (Tony Wroten) from Seattle, told everyone he wanted to come play at SU. His uncle was an old star with the Knicks and the kid wanted to play BE and the Garden. JB never offered him a scholarship, (don't know why), so he went to UW. He's now...

Battle can't do it alone. Lydon chokes under pressure, that will not change.

They will be a handful. Have beaten some good teams - Memphis, Saint Joes, Montana. Lost to Baylor (ranked #5) by 3 and Florida by 7. Everyone is up for the #1 seed.

Agree. Been disappointing. Lacking stamina for the minutes played perhaps and too many minutes at center, not his position. He did have a double/double, so a pretty good performance.

We have played Mississippi State twice and Southern Mississippi once.

Yea, but every weak conference wants to be represented in the tournament, even though they have no chance, and that is their right. We are a +64 team this year and if we could play our way back into the tournament, you could never convince me that this year's team has no chance. It could win 5...

There's room for improvement. Don't expand to 128, but allow the existing "playoff" round to expand and used as a filter, so the prevailing team(s) gain access to the tournament. In other words, the current NIT would screen the +64 crowd. This could be done in about a week.

You are absolutely right. These guys played their hearts out for us. If that last shot of John's had gone in, and it looked good all the way, he would have saved our hides again. Those two guys got us there and deserve all the credit. It took half the season for them to adjust to our system...

Yea we should win. We only lost to the Hoyas by 7 and they lost to them by 22. Wait a minute - we lost at home. They lost on the road. Hmmm. I don't know, ...

Indeed. But for the two mercenaries, we would have been a disaster this year. We got those two because they saw an opportunity.

You are correct. He could do well in the NBDL and if he gets the chance I expect he will grab it. The lack of athletism and JB's proclamation that he is a 40 min. man are linked in my view. If he was being properly subbed, we would see a different Tyler.

I recollect reading at the time his wife was not too happy in Syracuse and was pushing him to return south. The Tulane offer came up and he foolishly jumped.

He can recuse himself. Let Mike do that game.

He's back next year I think. This will allow him to move ahead of Knight to 2nd place behind Mike in wins and not have to be left hoping his 101 vacated wins get restored. Buddy Mike #1 and JB #2. Worth doing another year to achieve. Another thought. In his past 40 seasons, he has never...

We are all hoping we will be in on Sunday, but for the Committee, it comes down to choosing from a handful of close resumes. Sadly, it is hard for me to think they will reward the team that has the worst loss in Dome history. Just can't see it, in spite of some great wins and a team that could...
