Expectations in Year 1

[OttoinGrotto]

Obviously making the tourney is of paramount importance, but another thing that is extremely important to me is to STOP GETTING BLOWN OUT. It's humiliating how many times under Red I literally would turn the game off mid-second half because it wasn't worth watching anymore. I obviously don't expect to win every game, but I do expect to at least compete in every game.

This past season, it always felt like the minute the lead got to like 8-10 points, we would suddenly be down 20 in the blink of an eye and just gave up.

I'm thinking the blow out thing is unique to Red's coaching, but yes, definitely a huge red flag if it continues.

You think there are people who want GMac to fail?

more so than people who would rather lose with gmac than win with an outsider.

I don’t think that’s true at all.

I think there are some...

They would rather "keep it in the family, it's what makes Syracuse unique!" Regardless of the outcome.

I said before l want a 5 or 6 seed and be in the top 30, preferably top 25. We need to get back to being Syracuse, not one of the
also rans just happy to be in the tournament.
