Most disappointing moment as a fan

[SUFan44]

This is a good summer topic and has been one in the past...

So many memorable cringeworthy moments in the postseason.

Was only 6 when Smart hit the jumper, so can’t really claim that as a personal disappointment.

The Arkansas loss in ‘95 was tough to take - had them beat and had a very good team, in my eyes.

Michigan State during the ‘99-00 season in Sweet 16 with big lead was disappointing. We win that, we have a shot to win the whole thing (which MSU did).

Winfred Walton not qualifying was disappointing. He was supposed to be the next Derrick Coleman/John Wallace. Him, Ramel Lloyd & Lasean Howard were all disappointments.

Arinze & Fab situations are Top 3 in my eyes. Both years we had the goods to win it all. And even without Fab, that Ohio State game was disappointing and right there. Damn refs.

Sanctions & Fine situation, Hopkins leaving, Bazley not coming. All in there somewhere. I would also add the Dayton loss in the tournament with Ennis/Grant/Fair. We go from undefeated and #1 in country to bounced in 2nd round by an A-10 school. Yuck.

Worst loss was the Vermont game.

Worst off the court moment tie between bazely and fab.

Disappointing moment--the smart shot.

Disappointing game--when I realized that the refs were jobbing us against Ohio State in Boston.

 

[Symphony Steve]

I was a lot older than 6. Nothing can/will ever top Smart hitting that jumper. That knife stayed stuck in my heart until Hak blocked the shot and we won the NC.

Boeheim slandering alleged victims of a sexual assault. I realize he was defending a friend, but it was extremely irresponsible, especially for a leader of young men. We all have regrets. I would hope that is among Boeheim’s biggest.

Not for nothing, but has anyone heard from those two again?

Fab and Arinze for me

And did those two turn out to be the least bit credible?

Maybe not, but they had enough of a slander case to get Boeheim to settle.

How do they have a slander case if they were never telling the truth?

 

[donniesyracuse]

I don’t know. Ask Boeheim why he decided to settle.

 

[Briancuse]

I don’t know. Ask Boeheim why he decided to settle.

He probably didn't want to have to deal with a trial. Doesn't mean he was guilty of slander.

Guilty or not, publicly disparaging alleged victims of sexual abuse is not a good look. I believe he admitted it was a bad move.

Guilty or not, publicly disparaging alleged victims of s e xual abuse is not a good look. I believe he admitted it was a bad move.

Lying about sexual abuse is also a bad move.

 

[donniesyracuse]

Lying about s e xual abuse is also a bad move.

Of course, what does that have to do with finding Boeheim’s action disappointing? He could have waited to comment until the facts of the case were established or he could have voiced support for his friend without publicly questioning the motives of the alleged victims. It was not a good move for a leader in my opinion. What is your point of contention?

Maybe he knew all along they were full of stuff.

It doesn’t make it a prudent move.

 

[Briancuse]

It doesn’t make it a prudent move.

Maybe not but considering the accusers were lying it turned out not to be a big deal.

When Keith Smart's shot went in.

I wholeheartedly agree with MSOrange. That’s what I was going to say. Keith F. Smart. We HAD the game! That was even worse than the F.G. Skibbie thing vs. Notre Dame.

 

[Scotch]

Butler in 2010 was brutal. They hit a desperate three pointer from the baseline late in the second half that I swear him rim, backboard, rim again, and went in. That was the shot where I knew we were done and that awesome season was over. Have never, and will never, rewatch that game.

I hate Futler

But they weren't victims. They were scammers.

We're the same age. I was 10 in March 1987 also.

Also 10 in 87

Obviously Keith Smart's shot. No one mentioned yet the offensive foul called on CJ Fair against Duke which cost SU the game.
