I was a grown man running around like a giddy child when we won the championship in 2003 - I have watched SU basketball since the late 1970's and never have I been so frustrated as to watch SU allow COLGATE to drive continuously down the lane for layups without any help defense - at all - ever.

I can find no other word to describe it but [B]embarrassing[/B]...It appears that no one on the team has a defensive mindset.  No one seems to have a killer aggressive attitude.

To build a 13pt lead and then almost immediately lose it - Devo put it right - you build a double digit lead, then find out what it takes to move from 13 to 15 then to 20 - not take your foot off the gas and coast!

And the end was also a circus.  THREE missed front ends?!?!?!

SU did not deserve to win this game and most teams we face will not miss the opportunities to bury us.

I fear this will be a losing campaign and it could be very, very ugly if they team gives up after the losses start piling up.

I would love nothing more than someone to call me out later this season as to how misguided this post was and that our current team was simply finding itself, but I fear there will be no follow-up.
