Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 2300665, member: 1620"] I think at the end of the day both fan bases exaggerate. They seem to have a much stronger dislike for us than we do for them - we have Louisville, Duke, UNC, Pitt, etc. No matter what they say they lost that in the AAC - what they have with Cincy is a pretty solid rivalry. But we've moved on and they still bring us up. To be honest if wasn't for this annual game at the Garden, I don't think they would be on our radar's much anymore. Shabazz had a hell of a run, but they've won 1 tournament game since 2014, and that was vs. 8 seed Colorado. In fact, since 2012, they have 7 tournament wins - the 6 during the 2014 run (which was very impressive) and the 2014 Colorado win. So in the last 5 years sans 1 year - that's 1 tournament win. I know some of them like to downplay our accomplishments (since 4>1), but in the last decade we are top 7 or in accomplishments nationally fairly easily. Since 2010 we have 15 tournament wins, 2 Final 4's and an Elite 8. In that same stretch they have 13 tournament wins - 2 championship runs account for 12 of those wins. You can't make any reasonable argument not trade 1999 - 2014 with UConn. We had our moments too for sure, which they like to severely downplay, but they did win 4 titles. But no sane college basketball fan would rather be UConn than Syracuse for 2017 and going forward. Within the same thread on the Boneyard they bashed on "us" for selling Carey on Bazley, a top 10 recruit, but 2 posts later say they should sell him on playing with Akinjo who just barely cracked the top 100 and Christian Vital. It's a meaningless pissing contest at this point. I'll be at the Garden in December, but other than that night, I'm not sure why we UConn the time of day anymore. We've beat them 7 of our last 10 meetings. Since 2000, we're 6-3 vs. them at the Garden (6-2 in Big East Tournaments). [/QUOTE]
