Virginia is ranked #8 because

Imagine hyping up Rutgers and Pitt. SMH.
Rutgers isn't some garbage team. They beat Indiana on the road the other night, they are competing in a rugged B1G. Pitt is balanced with talent and Champagny is a generational player. POY in the ACC.
 
Uva is very good, they could cut down the Nets again, they also got killed by Gonzaga, lost to San Fran, and barely got by Gtech on sat, it would be nice if we at least competed.
 
Maybe 1-off games aren't so important in the grand scheme of things and it's a how team plays over a 30-game schedule that's more important. Teams can have bad nights and losses, but generally show they're good at playing basketball. Some not so much. The ones that show they're good at playing basketball can even end up being ranked.
 
Indiana stinks, Pitt just lost to Wake, Champegnie is poy but Good Lord, Generational player?

Pitt looks like a “lose the 8-9 game” at best type of team. Rutgers too.

Billy Owens, Derrick Coleman and Carmelo Anthony were generational players. I’m not sure Pitt has ever had one.

I do think Rutgers will right the ship, and find a way to get in the tourney but I watched that game, Indiana is God awful.

Pitt got a big head and let down their guard against Wake. Wake has that new coach and is an unknown, but his resume' is great. I love Cpenny, wish he was Orange. He's got the 5th element.

Nah. It's neither here nor there, but Indiana's bigs are really good while their guards are mediocre to poor - you don't go into Iowa and win by 10+ if you're god awful.

Didn't see any of the Iowa game, but Iowa should be embarrassed. I have seen Indiana a couple times this year, they stink, I am sticking to that, they have the one good big, but their guards are awful.
 
Yep, I have us at 3 national championships due to the school helping Melo cheating at class and AOs injury.

Oh...actually make that 4. refs cheated against Ohio State.

That's double counting when u refer to Melo and the OSU game. :)

they also battled FSU right down to the wire at FSU - they're decent and probably a tourney team

Ya I will give them credit for that, they are still 9-7 they have lots of work to do.

Did they have a big head when they lost to St Francis?
 
5 loses thus far. 1 at Rutgers, who is a strong B1G team, without Sid and Bud. 4 losses against the top 3 teams in the league, maybe FSU is in their group as well. 3 of those on the road.
Let’s just schedule the best teams from now on. That way, the losses don’t actually count.
 
There is nothing inherent to the Syracuse basketball program that says we have to be good.
Sure there is. At last check we were #9 in basketball related expenses and #3 in revenue. So if you have that advantage then someone should probably take some heat for being on the bubble for 7 straight years.

Pitt beat us without their “generational player” (lmao) and when they could barely field a team. But feel free to leave that part out.

They have UNC tonite Pitt +4 1/2. Take the moneyline. Stumbles early in the season aren't unusual for even great teams. If you like college ball, Cpenny is must watch TV.

Pitt is average.
 
We are the best team in America that will have a HOF Coach, losing record in their conference and proprabably overall, no players that will make it in the NBA,a front line that would starve more than two rats, a coach whose bate of birth is best expressed in Roman Numerals...the best team in America
