Great pick up on typo, something I am astounding at.Now if only we can get Lorraine on Board.
Never underestimate the Otto-man Empire.

He's like a blur compared to the rest of the roster...He is so fast and quick. Only guy I can think of at SU that played guard in his speed class would be Johnny Flynn.
I'm really lovin that guy. I think JB is too. He made a really bad play yesterday and I thought Boeheim was going to blow torch him and all he did was pointed to his head and said, "think". I thought, that's progress.He's like a blur compared to the rest of the roster...
It was sarcasmExcept for the coach continuing to sanction the scholarships by his own choice
JB is old. He can’t go on *forever.* That’s all I got.The program needs some optimism.
Instead of all this negativity which i contribute too.
What are some of the positive things around the program’s future?

Sy has speed and good PG and passing instincts. I just have my doubts whether he’ll ever be good enough at scoring and to finish consistently against good defenders to become the starting PG here. He’s made some strides this season, so not giving up hope. But a player like KR’s potential was so much higher.Symir played well against strong comp. If he works hard he can be a good player for us
This is a great thread, Alsacs. Thank you!The program needs some optimism.

I believe this post exemplifies the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law.I’d say the fact that decent recruits still want to come play here. Even with an old curmudgeon as head coach.
Even as our program is getting further and further away from what it once was. Even though you may get thrown under the bus at a postgame presser. Even though you may have to sit the bench if coach doesn’t like you.
That really makes me hopefully for our future that kids still want to play for Syracuse basketball. No matter the circumstances.
8 years reallyThe team colors and uniforms will always be fire and we have an enormous, awesome fan base that deserves better than the past 5 years.
Agree almost 100%, except for 2016.8 years really
2014-2015: Self imposed NCAA ban, wouldn't have made tourney anyway unless won ACC championship, Kaleb Joseph running point, a big miss there
2015-2016: Bubble, miraculous run to F4
2016-2017: Bubble, Andrew White, James Gillon team, NIT
2017-2018: Bubble, nice run to S16
2018-2019: Solidly in NCAA as #8 seed, bounced in first game to Baylor, Frank Howard suspended for that game
2019-2020: COVID, nobody went to tourney, if there was a tourney there was no chance at making it that year anyway unless winning ACC championship
2020-2021: Bubble, another nice run to S16
2021-2022: In serious danger of first losing season since 68-69
The mediocre, subpar, regular seasons have really been camouflaged by the nice NCAAT runs in 16, 18 and 21. They were disappointing from November to March that caught lightning in a bottle for the NCAAs in those years. To summarize, we have solidly been in the NCAAT one year in the last 8. Unacceptable.
Agreed...They beat really, really good teams in Atlantis.Agree almost 100%, except for 2016.
On the surface it was a miraculous final 4 run….but that team was seriously disrupted by Boeheim’s suspension in the middle of the season. They looked great early in the year and at the end of the year. 3 guys who played in the NBA in Lydon, Gbinije, and Richardson.
Yea, I always thought that 2015-16 team was better than people give it credit for and their KenPom numbers bear it out. They won the stacked B4A tourney and won a couple of big conference road games. The mid season swoon can definitely be linked to JB’s suspension and Hop getting throw to the wolves. People thought they barely made it but they turned out to be solidly in with a 10 seed.Agree almost 100%, except for 2016.

If I recall, the end of the season schedule was brutal and we lost some tough games right at the end, too.Yea, I always thought that 2015-16 team was better than people give it credit for and their KenPom numbers bear it out.

I see you are having trouble following the gist of this thread.8 years really
