From 2009 to 2013, Triche guided the ‘Cuse to an overall mark of 121-26. That is the most triumphs by a Syracuse player in the program’s long history. He averaged 30 victories per season, against 6.5 losses.
You can’t really ask for anything more than that.
Nah - HERE is the most unbreakable record in Syracuse history:
Winningest player in Syracuse history - Brandon Triche.
What are the odds we ever get a player good enough to start as a Frosh, play every game on teams that average 30 wins a year, and stay all four years??
Never gonna happen again.
Most NCAA tournament wins, Trevor Cooney?Nah - HERE is the most unbreakable record in Syracuse history:

I am always a sucker for articles like this, and I love the rebounds in a game stat. It just goes to show how much different the game was in the 50s and 60s.
34 rebounds by one player in a game; in this past season, we averaged 35.8 rebounds as a team. Just way more missed shots back then. Basketball reference doesnt have our rebounding stats for 52, the first year they have is 1957, we averaged 48.4 rebounds as a team.
Bold Prediction: I think JG3 challenges that before he leaves the hillThat's the reason a lot of career records are very safe right now. Have to think Lawrence Moten's scoring record is pretty secure although Tyus would've had a shot if he had stayed his senior year.

and JGs senior year he’ll be with Dior and at least 1 more 5-star freshman. Alan Griffin and Buddy will get a lot of shots this year.Maybe if he has a Jimmer-like uptick in his scoring [which seems unlikely]. Moten averaged about ~18ppg his freshman year. JG3 is pretty far off of that pace, and it will be difficult to make up ground.

I actually looked up his stats for this past year because he came to mind! JG3 had 398 points this year. Moten had 2334 for his career. JG3 would need another 1,937. If we play 35 games a season, that's roughly 18.5 ppg. I don't think he gets there, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't come in right around 2k for his career.
Hey, like I said bold prediction. It will be tough but if anyone might do it, it’s probably JG3 lol
It makes sense though he's the only su player to be on two final four teams.Most NCAA tournament wins, Trevor Cooney?
Collective Minds. Blown.
And 49 straight winning seasons and countingThe real SU basketball unbreakable record: Most coaching wins - 1065 and counting!!
A lot more missed shots.I remember the NBA in the late 60s and the 70s, when a bunch of guys averaged 15+ rebs a game and it seemed like some guy (like 6'7' Wes Unseld or Willis Reed) would get 25 or more on any particular day - never could explain this.

Maybe DaJuan too.It makes sense though he's the only su player to be on two final four teams.
It’s always hard comparing eras and imo the true greats are great in any era, but in terms of the 60s/70s, as stated, there were so many more missed shots. You look at the shooting percentages even from centers, and they were like low 40s many times. Which is crazy to think about now. Guys averaging 15 boards back then just can’t be compared to today.I remember the NBA in the late 60s and the 70s, when a bunch of guys averaged 15+ rebs a game and it seemed like some guy (like 6'7' Wes Unseld or Willis Reed) would get 25 or more on any particular day - never could explain this.
