We have won 6 of our last 8 games

[Cusefan0307]

Seems like the fans get grouchier every game(mostly due to the coaches mouth), but we have won 3 in a row and 6 out of 8. We will be slight underdogs it appears in every game the rest of the way.

 

[pearl31]

the ones that are extra grouchy rn are such because they need games like yesterday to be losses

Losing twice to pitt in inexcusable fashion will do that

Sad rec.
Some fans just live for crapping on the program, coach, and players.
They're only happy when they're miserable.

I'll never understand it.

Well, it's more just the agenda they've had for many years now that we should have a different HC

Eh, the first loss was inexcusable.

Second one - we just got boatraced.
Sh't happens.
We've gotten blown out by DePaul, Seton Hall (when they sucked), St Johns (ditto), etc.

Just answering why some people are still cranky. I know I don’t get over pitt sweeps until conference tourney time but I’m happy the team seems to be figuring it out.

Seems to be a trend lately with Cuse. Substantial growing pains early out of and in conference. Pull it together in February. True shame last year was cut short after the UNC massacre

The bar has been lowered. I am glad this season has turned around but it has turned around from not being relevant at all to being on the bubble.
I don’t believe we should be crowing.
Boeheim is a HOF coach he is also 76 and not done his best job this season.
I am glad we are now on the bubble.
Let’s win 2-3 more games and get in the tournament so we don’t go multiple years out.

JMO, but getting boatraced by a mediocre opponent is inexcusable

Serious question: do people here actually think that other posters WANT the team to lose games?

Eh I think most good college basketball teams are allowed a game like that each season. It happens.

The first half yesterday was worse to me. You can’t be a no show for the first 25 minutes of a home game in February

Too many eggs have been laid this year - UVa, Clemson, Pitt, etc.

Losing is one thing, but no-showing is entirely different. JMO.

Actually, yes I know people who want the team to lose because they believe that will force Wildhack to make a change. At the same time they also want Buddy to struggle so it will “force” him to transfer. This is nobody specifically on the board, but I do have a coworker who believes this.

who’s crowing? aren’t you always quick to point out the dreaded strawman?

Absolutely.
Somewhat on this board, rampant on social media
(And those two entities become more indistinguishable by the day)

There has been crowing in other threads I don’t need to point out.

 

[djcon57]

if you read the threads the grouchy fans appear to be the ones that don’t want to give certain player on our team credit for his game yesterday.

not sure why. I for one am thrilled with yesterday’s win

Eh agree to disagree. I’m sure it’s a bit both “sidesish”, but there are fans who think losing will speed up the transition.

I said above it hasn’t been mentioned yet on this board, but I do know at least one coworker who thinks this way that also happens to be an alum. I doubt he’s the only one. Not sure why this is surprising to people. JB has been an increasingly divisive figure this season.

I don’t want anyone to transfer. Experience matters.
