It was a great shooting team. Not a good rebounding or defensive team.

This team was solid and an NCAAT team once they
made John Gillon the starting PG over Frank Howard.

Surprised to see 03-04 on that list.

allergic to consistently adequate defense

Greatest shooting team Boeheim has ever had.

Worst defensive and rebounding team Boeheim has ever had.

It's the season of extremes. And I find it tough to think those teams were worse than this one. But who knows.

 

[Madbiker]

Best free throw shooting team of the Boeheim era. By far.

 

[BomberOrange]

Another reason why metrics aren't absolute. This team is the worst syracuse team I have seen since I started avidly watching them in '81. A few great wins, absolutely, but overall just not that good

What in Gods name are you seeing. I am 5'8" and I could have scored 30 points in the paint against this lame post defense tonight. You picked THIS game to post that opinion? Wow!

Yeahhhh, so this ranking makes me think the system is seriously flawed.

I'm sorry I said they're good. You on the other hand are terrible

Yup.

They could make FTs and shoot well that's it. Not that they deserved a bid, but it is SO bizarre that Boeheim's best shooting and FT team isn't in the Tourney.

i can't believe that SU isn't ranked higher in three point shooting. i haven't found the stats on this but i think shooting has gotten so much better across the board that syracuse's improvement doesn't mean as much. 4 guys shooting 37% is impressive. tough time rebounding and finishing inside.

would love to know how many 10 win acc teams have ever stayed home. weird year.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hard to judge this team because it was two different teams. We played Coleman and Howard big minutes the first 14 games of the year and Chukwu the first 7. If that doesn't happen this board isn't witching about how bad we were IMO.
