Watching UCOnn, I can see why many

If Syracuse got to an elite 8 beating two mid majors and a mediocre power 5 team our fans would be posting about how lucky we were.

 

[CU44SE]

4 seed that beat Iona, St. Mary’s, and an 8 seed mid Arkansas team.

CROWN EM!!!

Sometimes it’s not about who you beat. It’s about the path. And currently the path has been very kind to them. But they have also dominated. Anytime you can advance to the elite 8 without any close calls, that is a success.

Gonna make it that much sweeter when their nuts shrink up in a tight game.

They’ve been front runners all year.

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

on here wouldn’t want our teams to have athletes like that and play like that. Much more clear now.

the best thing about this run is that Hurley will be exposed in a close game. Market down

 

[Cusefan0307]

And just like that UCLA’s big is out against Gonzaga tonight lol. Shoot me now.

No they wouldn't. They say "JB has earned the right to stay as long as he wants."
Because that's what actually happened.

Red knows what he has to do to get SU basketball back to an elite level.

Great, but knowing doesn’t help. Doing does.

 

[kcsu]

Makes me sick to see how far we have fallen

We all were laughing that Hurley could never win a tournament game the last couple years. Goalpost change? Blows, but a good team is a good team.

There’s a plan……it’s ironclad

The interesting thing is, I think JB deep down did too. He just didn't want to deal with the headaches it might create for him.

Who on here said that? I have seen we don't want their coach. I still don't.

JB said Uconn best team in tourney today.

 

[Day2]

Literally no one.

 

[sufandu]

JB said Uconn best team in tourney today.

I guess he meant best team left in the tourney since the team he picked to win it all is out.

 

[Sherman20]

I think so.. Pretty season I told alot of my UCONN friends they have the horses to win it all.

UConn friends?

 

[Brooky03]

Play somebody

 

[orangepassion]

Why did JB never recruit Sanogo? I think hes from NJ. Was JB counting on Sidibe back then?

Couldn't cover the corner 3

 

[Charbroil]

They have recruited some absolute studs. This team would probably beat any of their 4 championship teams.

One of the more absurd takes I’ve seen. The ‘04 team is one of the top 5 championship teams since the turn of the century (and I hate UConn). Most of their losses that year were a direct result of Okafor battling injuries. They beat the current Huskies at least 4 out of 5 times.

 

[Otto'd]

They blow out the Anthony Davis wildcats by at least 35

Ridiculous .


11 points tops.

Go Zags

 

[hungrychuck]

We’re probably about to go down 1-5.

But we’re rid of JB and at least we can have optimism in Red for now.

This would be much more painful with JB still in charge.

I’ll say it again: we are no longer in the same conference and don’t play them anymore so it doesn’t matter too much. Only time you’d ever hear about it is on their board, or I guess our board when it’s brought up by our own fans lol.

2016: the run that will live in infamy

Didn’t we recently do this?
