Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 27203, member: 27"] Syracuse wasn't the most dominant team every year back then, but they were in the 2 years that they were named national champs. I have seen breakdowns of college basketball programs sorted by victories by decade, and I know SU was in the top 5 range in the 1910s and 1920s. Not far off that in the 1930s as well. We were consistently very good to outstanding. The reason Syracuse is in the top 5 all time in college basketball victories isn't solely because of the incredible job done by JB. Lew Andreas had a terrific record during the long run he had as head coach. He is also in the college basketball hall of fame as a coach. Edmund Dollard and Fred Lewis were two of the best college coaches of their eras as well. [/QUOTE]
