7-1 the rest of the way, or bust

[blust2i3d4]

Only acceptable loss is at Clemson. Everyone else sucks except for Duke and that’s a Saturday home game with 30,000. Gotta be a win, no excuses.

Enough is enough. Get to 20-11 and then try to make an ACC tourney run to solidify a bid. Absolutely nothing else is remotely acceptable. This is still Syracuse.

Must be 8-0. Even a loss to Clemson is not acceptable.

We need to talk about Boston College. They are as capable as anybody after Clemson. Momentum demands our attention.

And winning every game by at least 44.

I miss the days when people would be pissed because we weren't winning games in dominant enough fashion for their liking.

The conference is historically bad. We have a chance in every game. Clemson is not good.

We will probably have a lead with 4 minutes to go and then blow it.

Well, positive sentiments are nice and all but...

Only acceptable if they go 7-1 and win the ACCT to get into the dance.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

If that’s the choice, I’m picking “or bust”

 

[721Comstock]

Bust.

And not even the good kind.

 

[Newhouser]

Sad commentary but I think our best shot is in beating the good teams in the league who may be looking beyond us.

Agreed. As for JB…. Would I like him to lean into analytics and run a more dynamic and complex offense? Yes. Would I like the 100 percent zone defense to go away? Yes of course. But I’m less annoyed about JB’s in-season coaching and more annoyed about his off-season moves and the continued failure of roster construction. It was the height of malpractice to go into this season with a small forward rotation consisting of Bell and Taylor. They both have nice upside but they’re FRESHMAN. Come on, JB. Pitch Cole Swider on coming back this year with NIL dough and we’re easily a solid tourney squad. Or better yet, add a athletic, high-level small forward from the portal who can knock down 3s and attack off the bounce, and we’re competing for an ACC title. It’s not that difficult. But JB continues to be utterly complacent in putting together a high-level roster in the off-season that can compete for ACC titles.

This is why there's apathy.

Thanks for posting this. Made me smile.

Id like to see the kids and staff finish a few we are due.

I've officially entered the land of no more expectations. I'm just going to drink a lot before and during games and try to enjoy myself as best as possible. Drunk and happy if we win, numb and forgetful if we lose.

I have taken the next step of no expectations -- Forgetting they are playing several times.

The conference is not that bad. ACC has the win over B1G on the ACC-B1G challenge. The only bad is the bottom two teams were winless for a while. The other 13 teams are about equal to other P5 schools except Big 12. But the overall conference ratings is dragged by Louisville and Florida State.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Bust it is then

Clemson would be a great win for this team, finally get a road win against a decent team. Hunter Tyson and PJ Hall will be a load though
