I really believe next year will be a significant watershed year in SU basketball

[rwhitne9]

The football team's interest is rising and the basketball is the contrast. Will we see a period where the basketball team goes through years of losing like the football team did? I hope not!!

Here come the 0-18 ACC threads.

I consider the idea of Syracuse basketball having a losing season to go into the same box as Lebron not making the finals or the Pats not winning the AFC East. But at least one of those things is going to happen this year so that’s something I guess.

Like if I was a betting guy I’d put a significant amount of money on having another 18-22 win season that’s become a hallmark of this era.

Started by people I’ve never seen before.

They all come out of the woodwork.

If we had a winning season with senior rak’s team on probation, we can do it again next year.

let's see:
one coach has had exactly one winning season here
the other has never had a losing season

Haven’t had a losing season in 50 years. Next year will not be that year.

Also, in case you weren’t aware, basketball and football are fully independent sports. They can both be good at the same time.

Nah, we still have Pitt and BC to prop us up

Won't happen. Can't happen. The ACC is going to a 20 game schedule.

I'm predicting an insignificant watershed year.

I used to get annoyed 5-7 years ago when “old timers”on the board would lament the loss of posters from years before. But now I really miss a lot of the posters from that 2012-2014 era. There have been some great new additions, but so many drive by H0T Takes.

Su bball is a brand I don't see it ever getting as bad as football was in the grob error.

Yes that's an absurd comparison at this point. GRob didn't even sniff a winning record.

 

[hoopsupstate]

SU will be a better TEAM next year. There should be less isolation and better ball movement. We don’t have any iso players next year. The trip to Italy is huge for the development of next year’s team. Let’s hope the NCAA doesn’t delay any of our new players from arriving on campus.

What's the bet?

I know which stock I'd buy.

I think we ll be better too!!! Better offense and more shooting than this year with girard, goodine and Guerrier coming in!!! Need a big man to hold there own and make layups, dunks and put backs!

Rwhitney9 has been reading to many posts by the drama queens and kings, those in a near panic, and those convinced that JB is pulling the program down.

A steady diet of that results in warped ideas. As long as JB is here, that won’t happen.

After that, it’s anyones guess what happens.

Reminds me of the “Top Ten All Year” predictions after Tyus announced he was coming back.

What could possibly go wrong?

The good news is that in basketball, its much easier to turn a program around then in football. One dynamic player can make all the difference in the world. I think we will be fine, but our brand of basketball is pretty boring right now...IMOP.
