It makes perfect sense really. He’s trying to get to the league and regardless of what anyone thinks of his chances the only path there is to show the ability to shoot on the dribble and attack facing the basket. I wish him well. I would guess Richmond left for a similar reason, he needs to show he has nba quality jump shot.

No. I would never do that on any bet. My offer is 7 1/2 Top 30. I think we will be a bit better but I'm not going to bet out top line. That would be rather dumb. Take the 7 1/2 and like it. I think one of the big differences next year is that if and when we make the sweet 16 or even the final four, we will think we can win any game.
How about 7.
If we are a 7 seed nobody wins.
If we are 6 or better you win.
8 or worse I win?

Pony up the money now, and have a trusted 3rd party hold the bet
I am in the process of a wager with Alsacs if he says yes. For some reason, he wants to buy me a poker entry fee.

Objectively, 7.5 is more than fair
1 7 seed is a top 25 team.
It’s not more than fair when I am saying we won’t be a top 25 team.
That is the whole point of the bet.
Losses don’t matter if you are a top 25 team and beat good teams.
I don’t think we will be a top 25 going into the tournament.
Thus I sat we won’t be a 6 seed.
6 x 4 = 24.
I am willing to concede he wins if we are the top 7 seed and are the 25th team on the S-Curve that the committee releases.
If we aren’t the top 7 seed then we wouldn’t be a top 25 team.

Then just make it top 25 and call it a day. Either poll.
Top 25 in the S-Curve released by the committee.
I would do.
No no no. All you talk about is how far we have fallen. How bad our roster management is. I say we are top 30. To bet anything above that is betting at the top end of my range. 7 1/2 is more than fair. you must believe that we will be a top 30 team, no sweat. Okay, just say that. Or take the bet. I am the one at risk. Someone key on our team could get hurt. With our history, ...
No. Top 30 7 1/2 seed. Last I looked, this is my bet, not yours. And top 25 would be higher than even he was asking. 6 1/2 would be top 26. the fair bet is top 30 7 1/2 seed. That is the bet. Take it or leave it. But if you leave it, it flies in the face about where you see us next year.
I am not giving you top 30.
That isn’t top 25.
I said I will do top 25 of the S-Curve released by the committee.
You aren’t getting top 30 that isn’t the top 25.
Top 25 team is the bet.
I am not changing what I have said.
Which has been we won’t be a top 25 team.
Then you don't see us being bad next year. Just say that. Top 25 is top of the range considering our difficult schedule. The toughest schedule of my lifetime as a Syracuse fan. 6 real tough OOC games plus 10 ACC road games. 7 1/2 seed is the bet. Take it or leave it. But if you leave it, along with singing I'm a little tea cup in the middle of the poker room at Mohegan, you have to say you are sorry to everyone on this board. Bees included. I await your response.
That simply is not true.
If you aren’t top 25 it means you aren’t a good seed.
I am not giving you 5 extra spots because you know how to negotiate.
The top 25 is more than fair.
You can’t even tell me without looking who were 26-30 last year.
Top 25 is NC contenders. I won’t do what you say because you want a buffer.
If we aren’t top 25 going into the tournament then it’s another mediocre season.
I am not giving you 5 extra slots.
The nonconference schedule doesn’t affect our seed ranking if we play a tough schedule.
You can lose nonconference games and if you play a hard schedule get rewarded.
Then we don't have a bet. I am not betting the top of the range. No one thinks we are top 17 or 18. That means you want me to narrow my range, and you have said over and over, we aren't that good. That Jb has mismanaged the roster. That losing Q for Jimmy is terrible . That losing Kadary and having Joe as the pt is a killer. Despite all of that, I am willing to take 7 1/2 seed. When is the last year we were that high? And I'm asking too much? I was born at night but not last night.
Top 25 has been my point.
Not that we won’t be a bubble team or a tournament team.
JB teams are always on the bubble even when we suck.
I want to be relevant again.
Relevancy is top 25.
That has been my position the whole time.
If you don’t think we are top 25 team next year that is fine.
Playing a hard schedule actually helps your side.
We can lose those games and it doesn’t kill you.
If you win them then they are banked for the committee.
If we lose to Villanova or 2 games in Bahamas it won’t kill us if we play a tough schedule.

I have a response to this that's far more amusing than any post so far in the thread...

Wow. That will be weird to see. Not looking forward to one of our premier players in another uniform.

Last I looked, this is Alsacs’ bet, not mine.

The point is minutes at what position. Read through the entire thread. Q will play the 3 in the pros, he wasn't going to get minutes there at SU.
Of course it does. You get rewarded by making the tournament. Not by getting a higher seed.
