From my annual post: The Upside/Downside of JB:

JB is 46-27, (.630) in conference tourney games. I also checked how he did when seeded as a favorite and an underdog. He’s 28-11 as a favorite, (.718) and 18-16, (.529) as an underdog. In the NCAA/NIT he’s 57-35, (.620), 41-12, (.773) as a favorite, (I have nothing on NIT seedings prior to this year and the NCAA began formal seedings only in 1979) but only 7-15 (.318), as an underdog. It should be noted that as an NCAA dog, SU has generally been up against a very high seeded team. The Orange has always been at least an 8 seed. They’ve been that once, a 7 and a 6 twice each, four times a 4 seed, five times a 4 or 2 seed, five times a 3 seed and twice, a #1 seed. JB’s overall post season record is 103-62, (.624), including 69-23 as a higher seed, (.750) and 25-31 as a lower seed (.446). The fact that they’ve been the higher seeded team far more times than the lower seed speaks for itself. He’s pulled off more upsets than he has been upset and in fewer chances. When Jim Boeheim has a chance to pull of an upset, he does so 45% of the time but only gets upset 25% of the time when he’s the favorite.
