the 2012 - 2013 team was a solid team, well rounded.  The run to the final four in 2015 - 16 was a nice run but the team had a very average regular season and was never really in the game vs UNC in the final four.  The team took advantage of a first round upset of the 2 seed and had a couple of breaks in the round of 16 & 8 games, again congrats to them.

overall, since the 12-13 team the level of basketball has been on a decline.  The sweet sixteen was a decent run but overall the season was pretty bad.  We will see where this season goes but without drastic change we are an NIT team which would mean 3 years of NIT or no tournament in the last 5 (and please don't say one was self imposed, they were going nowhere that year regardless).

Do you see any development this year in any of our returning players (Brissett, Battle, Dolejaz, Chukwu)?  Do you see the team being better next year?   Please tell me ODU and Buffalo did not get pretty much what they wanted offensively the last 10 minutes of each game while we pretty much went one and one and launched horrible shots.  When was the last time Syracuse took the ball out of the net after the opposing team scored and ran a fast break?  We play slow, beyond slow and that is coaching.  The game has sped up and left us to play 50 - 60 point rock fights on a nightly basis although we are "Tall and Long" for what that is worth.
