Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 4632240, member: 6357"] When fans here connect Cuse’s decline to not being in the Big East and not playing many of our old traditional rivals anymore, I always point to West Virginia’s situation. Huggy has managed to keep the Mountaineers relevant and contending for regular tourney bids and top 25 finishes, despite them playing in a conference outside their geographic base and being thousands of miles from all of their conference foes. And WVU is a much lesser basketball program than Cuse with fewer resources and not much of a recruiting base. It really shouldn’t have been hard for Syracuse to continue winning like we always did once we joined the ACC. JB had a lot of excuses but he’s largely to blame for the decline. He stopped putting in the work and stubbornly refused to change the way he did anything. [/QUOTE]
