Watching today's game was a difficult task. The program is still experiencing the types of difficulties which arise when a program is dealing with the consequences of an NCAA investigation. Essentially, we have struggled to assemble a team with any modicum of depth, talent, and leadership. I try to remain optimistic and grateful for whatever accomplishments the program has had since the sanctions have been in effect. But simply said... it is very difficult to get excited about a team which struggles to mightily to score and the lack of any sense of urgency at the close of this game is the type of thing that makes for empty seats in the dome. And this phenomenon of the inability to score has seemed to settle in on our program. It's not exciting basketball.

Much seemed to have been made about the hustle and cohesiveness that this team was seeming to display at the onset of the season. Not so much as of late. It's hard to watch our program lose to a team without their 2 best players in a game that we should have won. I don't think any player should ever quit... on a play... on a team... on a season... and I feel the same way about fans. So, I'll continue to watch, cheer, hope and support these  kids and this team. The bright thing on the horizon is... help is on the way next year and it looks as though we might return to attracting the types of players that play the brand of Syracuse Basketball that will create excitement and pride ... the way that Syracuse Basketball has been for as long as I can remember.
