It's very Syracusian thing to do. We've dropped ugly games early many, many years and it's not been predictive of anything at all. Only recently have we reeled off big win streaks to start the season (the other time in our history we did that was the late 80's). I will grant you that we have some systemic issues and this team does not pass the eyeball test early.

Anyways, here are all of the relevant losses:

1993 - Lost to BC in early Dec 75-58 (Lost in Sweet 16)

1994 - Lost to George Washington in 1st game of the year 111-104 at home (Lost in 2nd Rnd of NCAA)

1996 - Lost to Kentucky in Nov 87-53 on NCourt, Loss to WVU in early Dec 101-79 (NIT year)

1997 - Lost to Michigan in Dec 93-61 (Sweet 16 loss)

1998 - Lost to Ohio at home 61-55 in early Dec, Lost two more in mid dec (WVU, Seton Hall) (1st Rnd NCAA loss)

2000 - Lost to Tenn at home 83-70 in mid Dec (2nd Rnd NCAA loss)

2001 - Lost to NC State 82-68 then again in the next game to GTech 96-80 (NIT Year)

2002 - Lost 1st game of the year to Memphis 70-63. (Won NCAA title)

2003 - Lost 1st game of the year to Charlotte 96-92 (Sweet 16 team)

2004 - Lost in early Dec to OK State 74-60 on N Court (NCAA 1st rnd loss)

2005 - Lost to Florida on a N Court in early Dec 75-70, then the next game to Bucknell 74-69 (NCAA 1st rnd loss)

2006 - Lost to Wichita State in early Dec 64-61, then to OK State on a N Court 72-68 (NIT year)

2007 - Lost to Ohio State in Nov on N Court 79-65 (NIT Year)

2008 - Lost to Cleveland State at home 72-69 (Lost Sweet 16)

2012 - Lost to Temple on N Court 83-79 (Lost in Final Four)
