Syracuse women's basketball faces massive rebuilding job to remain among the elite[/URL] (PS; Kramer)

[I]The talented group of women's basketball players who have arrived on the Syracuse campus within the past five seasons brought with them great potential and even greater expectations.

Much to their credit, they fulfilled both.

Now their time is done, and the question isn't just how quickly they can be replaced.

Rather, it's can they be replaced at all?

The answer will determine the immediate direction of the program.

Syracuse's 94-64 loss to Connecticut on Monday night in a NCAA Tournament second-round game in Gampel Pavilion sends packing the remnants of perhaps the best collection of players the school has ever had at one time.

The departures actually started with all-time three-point threat Brianna Butler from the SU team that reached last year's national title game. But four senior starters returned from that squad this year: forward Isabella Slim, center Briana Day and guards Alexis Peterson and Brittney Sykes.

Taking in the overlap from last season to this one, those anchors helped drive Syracuse to five straight tournament appearances. Before they pulled on the Orange jersey, Syracuse had four NCAA visits total in program history.
