Elite 8 Two Years in a Row

[Orangemen]

That's a big deal.

That's a big deal.

Let's complain about it.

That's a big deal.

Definitely!

im glad we get marquette too- time to get them back- going back to the final four is a real possibility - should have a partisan crowd too!!

 

[obliterata]

That's a big deal.

A very big deal. It's hard to make it this far even for the best of programs.

 

[BostonOrange]

That's a big deal.

Considering we'd been twice in the previous 21 years I would say it is ginormous.

Matt Park just tweeted it's the first time in program history we have gotten to the Elite 8 two years in a row. Can that possibly be true? Because wow.

That's a big deal.

Get this man a beer. Not only did we make it to 2 straight Elite 8's, we did it with a sh!tload of turnover from last year. We lost 2 first round picks (Waiters and Fab) as well as Joseph and Scoop. Those 4 were easily our best 4 last year yet JB has us back in the Elite 8. Would be gunning for back to back final 4's if Fab would have went to class

Yes it's true. Prior to the last 2 years SU had only been this far 7 times: 1957, 1966, 1975, 1987, 1989, 1996, and 2003.

Don't worry. Igor and Blue Curtain are sharpening their knives praying for a SU loss.

That's a big deal.

Yeah, Godzilla big.

Actually Igor was quite bullish on NCAA prospects.
