The all-time low point of my SU basketball fandom, at least in the JB era was the 2008 loss to UMASS in the NIT. It was the second time we'd lost in the Dome to them that season! We had a 24 point lead in the second half and I was thinking that this should shut up the critics for a while. I thought maybe we were finally going to win the NIT, something we'd never done and which used to be a big deal, (I'm still angry about what the refs did to us against Tulsa in '81). Then the lead began to melt away like a snowman on a rainy day and, incredibly, completely disappeared. It was along, sad trip home because I knew the board would be like a pool of piranha fish, waiting to strip JB and the team to the bone with criticism and anybody with a note of optimism or respect would be shouted off the board.  I scraped together an "Upside " to go with the "Downside", (I have no idea what I said), posted it and stayed off the board for about a week.
