Okay.
I’ll take a 13 loss regular season with a fun trip to the sweet 16 opposed to a 8 loss season with a first round exit.
I think that is a tough question though. The whole Boeheim or Syracuse fan first. I'm only 40 so he is the only coach I have ever known. I would say 4 years ago I was a ride with JAB til the end guy and then when the Hopkins thing happened it was the first time I felt he really put his own wants (sticking it to the NCAA and winning again) over what was best for the program which was handing it to Hop. I'm to the point now that Hopkins probably doesn't come back and the only way it happens is if Boeheim wants it to happen.
I agree with that. My point was solely about the zone and the way Jimmy B has coached since I’ve been old enough to comprehend. It’s the ultimate equalizer (especially combined with that press, just as Virginia) come tournament time.
Because times unfortunately have changed for SU basketball andLimited realistic options. I long for those past seasons. A positive change certainly is needed.
That and $5 gets us a latte at Charbucks.
Temple is #5.
Syracuse is now “officially” in 6th place all time.
(thx for the bogus vacated wins, NCAA.)
St John’s #9.
BYU, Utah, Cinci are 11, 12, 13.
Do their fans get all uppity and entitled about stuff like this too?
And try running more creative offensive sets and teach the guys to execute them better. He complains that we’re not getting better movement on offense—that’s on him. He needs to design and teach an offense so we actually get better movement to get our shooters open. A coach like Beilein would be able to do something with this team of good Shooters.
No they do not.That and $5 gets us a latte at Charbucks.

Jericho is up there too. A notch below yes but an all timer. For another more recent name-cm punk as a heel.
We won the Virginia and Gonzaga games because we pressed. Where our athletes got out in space and made plays. Like everyone was clamoring for them to do. We beat MSU with the zone absolutely because MSU and Izzo lost their minds and shot 2636 threes while their lottery pick spent most of the second half on the bench.
Angle never had the serious type promos the other guys did as his role for much of the attitude era was being the goofy heel but man... he has some all time segments. Especially with stone cold, edge and Christian, Jericho, rock.
There was a time when we felt the zone allowed inferior teams to hang with us, then it was the other way around. And now it's at the point where it doesn't matter simply because we just are that ineffective. How times have changed.
Indiana is improving under Archie. They'll be a tourney team this season.
But they’ve been in the abyss for over a decade
Yup, but it was a brief blip. They haven’t been able to sustain. Very mediocre program going all the way back to when Knight left. They’ve flashed occasionally, but definitely haven’t been able to rise back to the level they experienced in the 70’s and 80’s.
