Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 4188401, member: 559"] Please. I am not defending the state of the program. I am simply saying that dismissing post season success as a fluke as many have is equally imbalanced. Don’t think I should have to rationalize eliminating the Covid year from my position as an anomaly, even though we were coming off our most impressive win of the year and by no means completely outside the conversation for a Tourney invitation. And I agree. The postseason ban year was a convenient exclusion. I felt a ten year sample was a non arbitrary size but no issue with any disagreement if you feel I should look at longer or shorter periods. And I have stated continuously that I am not satisfied with our standing as of March 1, 2022. I simply don’t think it is fair to minimize 7 Sweet 16s including 2 Final Fours - a resume that 95% of D1 teams would kill for - as irrelevant to an overall assessment of Syracuse basketball [/QUOTE]
