Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2111141, member: 2585"] Expectations are the problem. Syracuse Basketball is more fun when you just assume we'll be in the mix in the ACC and nationally. Getting too up preseason leads to these kind of "8th seed in the ACC tourney isn't good enough" and "sure FF's are nice, but last year was largely a failure" BS posts. Syracuse BB has been remarkably steady for 30 years. Treating every slight downturn as the end of the world is junk. When JAB retires, we can enter freak out mode looking at every loss and less-than-perfect season as a sign of something more. (side note that no one probably cares about - I post primarily on the FB side. It's much more fun looking for signs that the remarkably consistent suckiness turns around than it is to be here where expectations are so high that every sign is a road marker to the imminent basketball apocalypse. And I like both sports pretty much equally) [/QUOTE]
