Our fans booing Craig Forth.
Assuming you are talking about the '95 Arkansas game, Lawrence Moten called the time out. Luke Jackson had the ball.
1. All those ridiculous calls against us vs Ohio State. Its not even close. Fab wouldn't have made a difference the refs were not going to let us win that one.
2. Getting screwed out of a bid in 2007. I think that team would have done well in the dance.
3. 2010 and 2014 were the best regular seasons we ever had (that I can remember) so I am still utterly disgusted by who ended up winning both those seasons.
I was too young to be fully invested at the time of Smart’s shot (though at twelve, SU was already my school of choice).
I’d go:
-Winfred Walton fiasco (that was before I understood that one player shouldn’t make or break things)
-moton to
-Vermont awfulness
It's amazing that this is still an issue.
Bernie Fine was fired after this tape became public.
It was a tape that did not even contain his voice.
Syracuse University fired him...without even a fig leaf of due process.
And Bernie Fine never seriously contested the firing (the brief legal case notwithstanding).
That scenario suggests:
1. There was more to this than has ever been made public.
2. Bernie Fine failed to fight for his reputation for a reason.
If the allegations were false it's hard to imagine situation in which someone wouldn't fight...especially someone with the financial resources to wage a fight.
I was only 5 years old in 1987 thank the lord, so for me it's definitely Moten's timeout. I was absolutely devastated.
That one didn't really surprise me. While we were still undefeated there were a number of concerns about that team that seemed obvious to me, and we finished the season in a slump, losing 5 of our last 7 leading up to the tournament.Some of the other things that people mentioned were awful, but some out of the teams control and some after a hard fought and grueling season.
I’m going with our loss to Dayton in the 25-0 season, that team had talent and we literally fell off a cliff and our final game was one of the most piss poor efforts from the players and coaching staff. It was disappointing most to me because we should’ve been so much better.
My most disappointing moment BY FAR was Arkansas 1995. I was not a fan in 1987 and was a frosh that year. It still stings to this day b/c we had that game in the bag and could have made a run for the final four the way the bracket broke down.
Yup. I know a lot of us just never thought he'd be out. I guess that's what happens when the school really isn't forced to give info. Honestly what was even his injury? Quad? Knee? ACL? I have no idea.Oh yeah and Arinze. The worst part IMO was lying that he would probably be able to play. Hated the karma.
Really? With that team's body of work and the way they were slumping into the off-season -- it shouldn't have surprised anyone that they got bounced early. Regression to the mean.Some of the other things that people mentioned were awful, but some out of the teams control and some after a hard fought and grueling season.

For me it will always be '87. I was 10 and just becoming a fan, followed by Richmond, and then '96. '96 doesn't sting quite as much because we had no business hanging with that KU team. That was a great tourney run.
It was a quad injury. I would think a tear considering he missed three tournament games but I’m not sure.
That's how I've always felt about the 96 title game. Sure it hurts to lose at that stage but I was pretty realistic going into that game. It was a great run and a hell of an effort against a Kentucky team stacked with McDonald's All Americans

respectfully, at 12 i was as fully vested in Cuse sports as possible. im slightly less vested as a 33 yr old.
i was a dream come true for my dad. he knew he would be able to watch or go to every game because i woulrather go to a cuse game than literally anything else.
