Burn it all down. This is rock bottom

Our struggles and being in the ACC are purely coincidental. That move absolutely had to happen.
No and yes. The ACC kills our recruiting but we had no choice.
 
I was a senior in HS (I think) when he played in the tourney. Didn’t he have like 16 blocks in that game?

Don’t remember that but I think they played in the tourney twice and held their own? One was definitely against Kansas, and I want to say they played UConn too?
 
Man a lot of you overreact. Last year Colgate was the better team and would have won any time. This year I fully believe if these 2 teams play in Feb or March that Cuse handles them. We have a very young team. they gave 80 pts 105.. efficient threes.. 50 %... couple of bad rebound mistakes late. I saw nice things from young guys who will improve. I would wager that no teams hits 19 threes vs us all year. And finally you guys say your all fans, when will you realize that just like in FB some teams are bad matchups for others. Like triple option run team is a bad matchup or spread teams. Cuse matches up terrible to very good shooting teams. Just what it is. Colgate prob the best we'll see. They hit 19 threes on not many shots. Is what it is!. Syracuse is more athletic, younger and better team. Although meany of you cannot see it

Do you know who said this quote:

"This is why JB has no losing seasons... He will not let young players hold up winning for the sacrifice of tommorrow... JB coaches like an NBA coach...He is gonna play the best guys to win with and the others need to develop in practice..."
 
WE ARE GOTDAMN SYRACUSE, WE DONT GET BLOWN OUT BY COLGATE TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!

I’d chop off CuseRunner’s hand to avoid this happening again.
Totally agree on first part but no idea why you want to pick on CuseRunner? We can no longer control what happened, only what will happen in the future. My cup is half full, where is yours? Young team with potential and it can still go two ways. Why assume the negative. I have been an Orange fan for ever and I still want to have positive vibes. LGO

Uconn is one I remember and they were 16 seed. I tried finding the stats quick but looks like they played two years in a row. ‘96 and ‘97 my junior/senior year.

Positive vibes don’t change what I just watched though.
 
We almost won the league our first year though.

I think it’s us, that’s the problem. “Normal” Syracuse teams from 1975-2014 would be fine in the ACC. Every bit as fine as we were in the Big East(which was often tougher).

We went on probation and then our coach got old as dirt. That’s all it is, IMO.
Just checked the recruiting ranks. Correct me if I'm wrong but Syracuse was usually a top 15 class year in and year out right? Last 5 years is not even really top half of the ACC.

No offense, but you are delusional.

You, sir….I don’t think you know CuseRunner like some of us know CuseRunner.

He can still drink his Applebees tall boys with his off hand. Probably better than Joe can dribble with his offhand, but I digress.

LMAO nice you researched... Well JB has zero choice this year cause all he has is inexperienced guys. All the freshmen, Benny, Torrance, even Joe playing a new position. That team he put on the floor tonite was better than the team that payed Colgate last year and they would have not had a losing season if Jessie didnt get hurt (or did you forget that)... BTW you can save that :)
 
WOW...this thread is going wild!! Second game of the season with 7 new players, losing top 3 players from last year. Let's fire the coach, bench players, players to portal, etc?? I suggest we get a few more games under our belt before we rush to all these conclusions. Last week you wanted to bench Benny and this week you are praising him! If we do not build from this loss then all you are saying has some truth, but we will not know until several more games are played. You have to admit a good shooting Colgate team was no match for our young, yet to be set defensively, and total lack of experience under fire fire team. I would hope we can improve, get to the NCAAs and play Colgate again if they and we can get there.
Lol. It’s like you haven’t watched the last 5 to 7 years of Syracuse basketball. We’re a middling mid-major caliber program.

If only he could go out and pick his team, and not have to coach what is handed to him….

over reacting to a bad game. Season is young. Be positive, not negative. LGO
