Awesome post SWC! A great read too! This puts everything in perspective. 
I always learn something new from your posts.

It seems that although we have less championships than other top programs, Boeheim teams have actually overacheived on more occasions. Such bad luck in 2010, 2012. If not for Keith Smart (or free throws) maybe history see us differently. Furthermore, if we could have won one in that era, maybe there's a 30for30 about Cuse's fab5 or 6. We had those crazy athletic showtime teams before Michigan had that great freshman class, which makes your point about 1989's lack of accomplishment being an anomoly even more interesting.

I would add that our loss to Michigan in 2013 was marred by 3 terrible foul calls with under 2minutes to go that didn't go our way. Hardaway shoved Mcw to the ground to get out of a double team but a foul was called on Mcw instead, his fourth and our last to give. Then, a play or two later, Mcw is called for an illegal screen, his fifth foul, immediately after handing off to Southy, when it is clear that Hardaway ran into MCW while trying to chasing after Southy. Should have been a no call. And lastly, the infamous charge call on Triche which disqualified him as well. Bilas called the game and he agrees on all three plays. We still nearly completed a great comeback as we were only down two. This game pisses me off the most. Hard not to blame the refs. I loved that team.

Sorry for the rant. Nice post.
