Not being at MSG just adds insult to injury

I would rather be at MSG than anywhere else tonight

Would mean nothing. The team didn’t want to be here obviously

Welcome to the ACC...the big city is too scary. They are comfortable in their comfort zone. MSG ain't happening. They don't want big time. They wan't freaking Greensborogh, or however you spell that jerkwater town. They don't want to compete with the SEC and B10, they want North Freaking Carolina to be the hub of the college athletics world.

Weird to complain when the game was in DC tonight

Weird? No, MSG is where it's at. But, this conference will never have a presence there. They are too tied with the dirty south to ever embrace NYC. Even though that is their best chance to compete with the SEC and B10

Gotta disagree.
The headlines in the Post and Daily News sports sections about this matchup would be more embarrassing than this horrific game was.

I'm more concerned about getting embarrassed tonight and how the roster is going to improve.

Do you think John Thompson III who they showed at the end was thinking “Syracuse season is officially closed”?

If so, he wasn't wrong.

Some people need to see embarrassment to understand we need drastic changes.

Problem is, the second we moved to the ACC, we automatically became, at best, third fiddle in our conference. That’s at best. At worst, we are a perpetually mediocre program.

If you’re the best player in the country and you want to play in the ACC, where are you going to go? You know where and it ain’t Cuse.

We assumed perennial also ran status the split second we joined the ACC and it’s not going to change.

Great, the annual pity party about NYC.

The Garden belongs to Creighton, Butler, and Xavier now!

This is dumb.

the rare times we got bounced early in the BET it was super easy to sell your tickets and spend the money on a great meal in the big apple.

No you wouldn’t. You just miss how good we used to be. Other UConn the Big East is not good.

To me playing NC State today is no different than Butler. But Duke tomorrow? UVA Friday? UNC Saturday?

Marquette has been solid but they are still meh. Nova isn’t the same since Jay Wright. So who do we miss? We never cared about Creighton. ST John’s cuz pitino is there for 2 years?

Outside of UConn none of it is like the old big east

ACC to me has just been much better recently across the board

 

[orangefog]

This is dumb.

To small minds, yes. I agree

And that's it. Get past today and it's Duke in prime-time. Packed house, all the anti-Duke schools rooting for us.

Instead it was piss and moan for 2 hours by a couple of our guys.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What are you advocating for?

 

[Bayside44]

I'm advocating for winning.

I'm advocating for winning.

Ok, expound please, I think that's what we all want. Roster or staff? And then, please expound on details of either or both.

I'm agreeing with jdubs. What he said.

I apologize, I don't understand what any of that means. I just want SU to be the best of the ACC, and I think we have to beat even the ACC refs to be the best in the ACC. But, I think we can. We need guys that care, and we need coaches that care and are capable. I think we lack both, right now.

I wonder if the new Big 12 teams will result in that tournament moving out of a state that only has an SEC program. Have to think everyone other than Kansas and Purple Kansas want to go to T Mobile in Vegas. Denver or Phoenix probably preferable to KC even Dallas makes more sense.
