We posted a losing record, and a losing conference record in a year when the ACC was extremely down.  We went 0-10 in games against Tier 1 opponents.  We went 2-5 in games against Tier 3 opponents.

The statistics may have shifted slightly by the end of the year, so forgive me if these are slightly off -- but at one point late in the season we were 358th out of 358 teams in giving up three point attempts per game, and 357th out of 358 in opponent three pointers made.  We rated 322 out of 358 in giving up defensive rebounds, and 335th out of 358 in field goals opportunities allowed.

We had what was probably our worst non-conference performance in the Jim Boeheim era.  We lost to a Georgetown team that went o-fer in the Big East.  In our last 8 losses, we got beaten by 20, 11, 12, 10, 25, 9, 3, and 9.  In the game that we lost by 3, we had a 17 point lead in the second half of the game and squandered it away in OT.

The data doesn't support that we were "competitive."  Neither does our record.
