I don't think anyone except people who have been watching since the 80's should awnser this question.
 
I am only a true watcher since 01. Since then.
 
we were a nit team and deserving.
then a nation champion.
then we played bama in the sweet 16 in a tough game could have went either way.
then we layed a egg against vermont. How the heck that happened was unbelievable.
then we went to the nit for two straight seasons.
then we got a bad matchup against a one seed OK who may have been the second best team in teh country.
 
Then we lost all our chemistry when we lost AO. Those 18 mpg without him derailed our first half offense and we built such a hole we couldn't get rolling against butler. Our offense was just putrid that game and they focused on our perimeter offense which was our bread and butter without AO. Rick had to go to the low post at center and lost all his low post PF minutes as well. With no low post threat KJO's isolation was derailed.
 
Then we could have beat MU infact we kinda had the game won. Some foul calls went MU way and we missed some shots and had a costly late turnover or two.
This year we are as dangerous as syracuse has ever been. Don't want to understate us by using the word ?Maybe" our most dangerous team ever.
 
One observation I have had is look at our upperclassmens numbers in those games we lost. They have been shockingly bad.
Another thing Maybe bad matchups set up by the ncaa leads to that some. Can't leave that out.
 
 No AO against Butler doesn't exactly make us the favorite. I don't know the other four off the top of my head. I know we can take that one of the 6 games we are favorite away. Heck they made the championship game beat MSU and KSU and played duke down to the final bucket.
