A great season but next year will be even better

[rrlbees]

We won't have a better record because it is so tough to go through a full season with just 3 losses, but we will go to the F4 next year. Bank on it.

 

[orangemass]

On I'm on board

 

[skurey]

It's always next year with this team

 

[Guinness]

It wasn't next year in 2003

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Kentucky will win the title and Noel will head there. Then, they'll win again next year...

 

[jdubs30]

One Final Four since 2003 clearly proves that theory. The tourney is a show and we could go 35-1 in the reg season and lose in the 2nd round; the thread is pointless

 

[orangenauburn]

agreed bees ... i love scoop and kjo, but are most clutch players were not seniors

 

[OrangeBlood]

I love the optimism. I hope MCW, Triche and Cooney can run it. If we land Noel, we will be VERY TALENTED.

it's always next year for most teams - all of them but one.

How so, Bees? Sounds as though we are losing a lot. I know we have two freshmen coming in, but where is the leadership coming from? Don't see Brandon taking that role?

This is one of the reasons the BCS has supporters.

 

[longislandcuse]

If the Brandon Triche that played tonight is what were getting next season then im already excited!

 

[Deano]

If you can guarantee no soap opera drama and NN comes to SU I'm on board.

MCW. If he played more often he would have been our leader.

you and a couple others should go find another team to root for or go back and post on syracuse.com.

I'm on board with bees. Next year we will have leaders...

I will miss scoop.. I will not miss jojo. Kris joseph disappeared when it mattered most. Sad, but true.

 

[longislandcuse]

Leadership from our guards which is where you want it to come from. MCW and Brandon. Brandon showed me ALOT tonight. Add that to a dominating frontline that "could" be one of the best frontcourts ever and an actual shooter off the bench which we lacked until Southerland came on this year.

Leadership is overrated, and difficult to quantify...just because you are a senior, or play alot doesn't make you a leader

We sure as won't miss Joseph. Soft as charmin.

We'll miss good Scoop and it's gonna be incredibly hard to replace Dion.

We proved we can play inside without Melo and adding Coleman will be a nice big body that we now lack.

Cooney will add a shooter.

I think the season will really ride on Triche, Southerland and Fair.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Backcourt of Brandon, MCW, and Cooney. Maybe even some Mookie.

Front line of Rak, DC2, Fair, Dirty, Baye, Grant, and hopefully Noel.

 

[wink91wink]

Why are we already assuming Dion won't be back?

Clown, Go root for Kentucky then

That train sailed in December bro.

I wish Dion would come back for that reason alone, but that's probably a pipe dream. I'm hoping Brandon will surprise. He is a tough hombre, but he'll have to lead by example because he's not a cheerleader.-VBOF
