Drawing Pitt is actually our best scenario

[FrancoPizza]

The program snaps back into place next season.

eventually this annual prediction is bound to be correct.

I'm worried because we still won't have a point guard.

This is the type of crap from SU fans that just makes me slap my forehead.

Have we become so spoiled and impatient that anything less than a one-and-done performer is doomed to never being able to contribute to the program? Is a freshman incapable of developing? Frank Howard has improved over the course of the season - which is proven by his increased minutes if nothing else. He's shown plenty of flashes that shows he has potential at the very least. He needs to be smarter with the ball but how many freshmen in the country are always smart with the ball?

Take a deep breath, folks.

The problem is other mediocre teams don't need their A game to beat Pitt.

They match up well against us, it happens.

Other mediocre teams usually have their head coach for their games.

So the lifetime record against Pitt is actually hops fault? Wow this guy can't catch a break.

These last 2 seasons gave us 4 losses and our circumstances more or less were terrible as previously stated.

Pitt vs Syracuse a play in game?

Also, didn't someone on here post about having a dream or something a week ago where we lost to Pitt in the ACCT because Cooney missed 2 FTs than some dude Pitt nailed both of his and we lost by 2?

Yes it was me.

I'm tired of hearing, this is who we are. It's no longer good enough.

What's the alternative?

Get real mad? Fire JAB?

I mean c'mon. One of the board memes I hate is: "we're okay with mediocrity! We don't want to win!"

"We are who we are" is not being okay with it. It's not an approval of how the season is going - it's just reality. Getting real mad is pointless unless you're Mark Coyle.

The fact that we're a 9 seed tells me we shouldn't be in the NCAA's. It's embarrassing. We're accepting less and less every year. Pitt's out of conference schedule is awful. VT is the same, but if they win 2 ACC games, it will give them 12 ACC wins.

Va tech isn't getting in.

I just see a bad trend. We've even lost to 4/5 Big EAst teams we've played (Villanova, GT and SJU twice). The last two lousy teams. We imploded in the last minute against Villanova last year. How many games In a row have we lost to PITT? We've lost our edge. I think we'd be struggling in the Big East too. We beat a Duke team that is having a down year. We haven't been competitive with Virginia, lost to MIami twice and UNC tosses us around like a rag doll. We've lost our last two games to Clemson. Who can we beat in the upper echelon of the ACC? Even after we started 25-0 two years ago, we crashed and burned down the stretch. It's starting to look more like a trend than just a bad stretch. We've become a stale program. I'm hooping next year changes the direction we're going. I'm worried because we still won't have a point guard. You can't win without someone controlling the game at the point. I hope we beat Pitt, but they pretty much do whatever they want against us and I doubt SU will make any adjustments. I'm tired of hearing, this is who we are. It's no longer good enough.

seriously dude?
