Just to put this in perspective -- we went 3-11 in the last 14 games...

...and it would have been worse if not for the back-to-back wins we got in mid February against Cal / SMU.

What a grind this season [and last year] have been.

Unbelievable that this is the current state of the program.

 

[Mr. M]

Yes we know and it’s sad. Looking forward to better days ahead

 

[RedtheGOB]

All the more reason to clean house completely. Get Kingz back and send the rest packing. He’ll be 24 next season and doesn’t need his handheld.

This kind of stink needs to be completely erased. You don’t bring back anyone else.

 

[Nicknack]

I'd gladly have Sadiq back as well. Kiyan is the interesting piece. Because I love Melo, I'd like him to stay as well but I don't know if that's going to work very well if he expects to start. I just don't see him as a starter anytime soon (maybe his junior year).

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yeah, uh, I mean... the wheels did fall off.

I have soured on Sadiq not because I don’t like him or his talent. I just don’t think a new coach should be burdened with erasing this staffs funk from him. They should’ve nipped some of his bad habits and now they’ve festered.

Ain’t no bonus points for big dunks then going 3-11 to close the season.

Kiyan plays too slow. There was just a few times when opponents pressed and he had the ball and made some good decisions.

Feels like pacey tempo is not his strength so if Hodgson is the guy it doesn't like the best fit.

 

[gilardino]

but lets keep in the family with our next coach

 

[rocklloyd]

I stopped watching games live. Would watch last 5 minutes.

Many fans don't even realize this because they have stopped paying attention to Syracuse basketball.

It definitely time to go outside the family. I can't wait.

Crazy that our current team basically had the same exact record in the ACC as the 2024-25 disastrous team last year.

Last year we played 20 games and went 7-13. This year we played 18 games and went 6-12.

That is crazy.

The collapse was real.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Just a pathetic job coaching/leading this team. There was way too much talent on this team for them to have a losing record.

In his time as HC Red failed to motivate and be a leader, and as a result each of his teams have collapsed when things got tough.

The real damning fact was this team simply didn't get any better from early season, and, if anything, got worse as the year went on... Especially defensively. While decently coached teams did get better and we struggled to compete.

3 for the last 11 culminating with a home court final season loss to a terrible Capel Pitt team... Truly rancid stuff.
