You make a good point…I don’t know if last night was more embarrassing than getting thrashed in back to back years by Colgate. Those were pretty frustrating and as a fan I know I felt like I was being held hostage by JB and his outdated zone defense and poor recruiting. I think the frustration, disappointment, embarrassment, etc. that is being expressed now is a culmination of a decade plus of mediocre teams (I know, I know, one final four and two sweet 16s by 3 pretty mediocre teams). When Red got hired, I think everyone got excited because he brought in starling, Westry, etc. and things looked headed in the right direction. Then another mediocre season was chalked up to some malcontents and Red not being able to get “his” guys. Fast forward to this year, again there’s some added excitement with Freeman coming in, some upper class transfers who would bring maturity and a winning attitude, optimism that Bell and Starling take a leap, etc…then we watch the product on the floor the first two games and yeah…it was embarrassing. Low major guards getting to the rim AT WILL with no resistance. So yeah, those two losses to Colgate might have been more embarrassing, but I don’t think feeling embarrassed or frustrated is a hyperbole. This is Syracuse University basketball. Maybe not a blue blood but historically we are in the next tier. We haven’t been ranked in the top 25 in January or February since 2013!!! People have a right to be upset.
