Obviously not a fact based prediction, more of a gut feeling. Good news is I haven’t been right about too much lately .
Great. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Results are trending in a different direction. No matter how much you hate that.

The tourney is about matchups and they are blowing out every team they play. If they win Monday, they are the best team in college basketball for the 5th time, much to our chagrin.

I wish that were true but the expectations and standards have slipped for many Syracuse fans.

Hurley literally kicked off the players that weren’t good enough and replaced with better portal additions/hs recruits. I still cant believe that worked so well.

Kinda wish we did that...
That’s okay. I’d rather drown than have your intelligence.

It’s brave of you to admit that you are not intelligent. I guess there’s a certain level of anonymity on a message board, but still brave of you.
Run along now. Let the intelligent people discuss the topics.

How many programs have a better winning percentage than us over the past decade? That’s the proper comparison, not historical win %.
Program was on a significant decline in the last decade under JB. That’s undeniable. Red has to turn it around to a standard of Top 25 rankings, conference championships, top 4 seeds in the NCAA’s, Final Fours and aiming for National Championships. I’m grateful for the program JB built but he should have retired after the 2013 or 2016 Final Four. We’ve slipped pretty far and need to get back to elite level. The last decade, especially the last 7 years has been some of the worst SU basketball in the past 70 years.

The personal attacks on this thread are not necessary. Enough. And with the hate too. If UConn wins, they deserve it, so be it.

I was attacked first. Fair game as far as I’m concerned.
As for UConn, blah. Can’t stand them and wish them the absolute worst. Go SDSU.

They’re not going away. They have a top five class coming in next year including two five star recruits. I think we have an unranked recruit coming in. They have some elite shooters. SU doesn’t have an elite shooter on the roster. That is still our biggest problem and we aren’t addressing it in the portal.

Uconn about to win their 5th title in 24 years isn’t luck.

You could tell watching them last November they had everything needed to win a national championship. SDSU can’t score enough to win on Monday.

Luck is probably too strong. Fortunate in how things shaped out in 2 of their 4 and somewhat for their 5th? Absolutely. You have to get some breaks to win multiple titles. They have most certainly been one of the richest programs in the country in that sense.
That goes a number of ways. Look at their roster. Without a doubt, while the stats don't jump off the sheet - the contributions from Karaban are massive. Just so happens a local kid from Mass. Then Clingan- literally as just about as local as it gets. That's two key pieces basically dropped onto their doorstep.
Add in- they were the most dominant team early in the year( I posted about this back then) in a season with the least amount quality at the top in a long time. Case in point being just how poor the 1 and 2 seeds really were. Kudos to them for being that one team.. but it's not without being very fortunate too that the season has mostly lacked a top tier.

No one in the final four is close to them they’d beat all by 20. They had similar results in non conference play.
They got incredibly lucky with their path but are in line to win it all without any close games other than Iona.

That’s why I’m concerned that bell is returning. Did red promise him minutes along with Taylor and Cope? These guys need to be 6-7/8th men at best.
