An observation.  Every year fans complain about how bad JB's offense is, how he over plays his best players, doesn't develop young players, he over berates certain players.  And all of it seems true.  However, as pointed out, SU has made more final 4's than any other team in the past 5 years (mostly NCAA punishment years). Scoring is down but the team has averaged a 23.6 - 11.6 record.  The zone troubles many but seems to manage a good shooting percentages on defense despite claims of letting guys go off against SU.  Players have not been running from the program except to go pro.  And his coaching staff is made up of former players so he isn't hated.  Likewise he has many, many supporters in other former players, even ones he seem to be tough on. Recruiting is down, but finally with restrictions gone, the future looks bright. So it is same old, same old.  Same old JB and same old complaints.

And lastly, fans were fooled by the 11-2 start.  The team though short handed was making due with hustle.  Some recognized that MD and Chewy were not strong enough to compete on the boards in the ACC. And that has come about.  If they get stronger on the boards, some of the problems will be mitigated.  And the big 3 need to try and look to pass almost as much as they look to score.
