They have a bunch of wins against no one and like us they were throttled by this boards beloved Duke team. We aren’t even talking about top 25.
Top 40?
What are we freaking Providence or Seton Hall?
Good grief.
Yeah it was close pretty fun game to watch. But we threw everything at them and OT wasn’t close.
That’s one of those games that SU wins with a “normal” team from the last 4-5 years and blows them out with a typical SU team.
We aren't even those teams. We haven't played a ranked conference game since 2014. Both those teams have this year as well as the last few I believe.
Normal team from the last 4-5 years? Well, UNC can play that game as well. Fact is, our "normal" team from the last 4-5 years has had its lunch generally eaten by the Tarheels, as the head to head record suggests. We have been nothing but a middle of the pack, middling team in our conference for 8 years now.
And, these last 8 years of complete and utter mediocrity is our new 'normal.' It's a tough pill to swallow for sure, but we need to get out of that denial stage of who we are, not just in the moment, but for quite an extended period of time. Sad for sure, and next year will, in all probability, simply be more of the same...
