To be entertained.
Think about it for a second. Would you really want to be a fan of Pitt playing clutch and grab basketball dragging people down into the muck and mire?
No thanks.
On a side note, being entertained also includes playing to max effort, not giving up, getting PO'd when they do lose, and then eviscerating the next team they play. I''l know tomorrow if I am entertained. With this team I expect conference or tourney championship and Elite 8. IMO there is too much that can happen in the tourney otherwise in terms of match-ups, hot shooting, etc.

You play to win, therefore a successful season ends with a national title.

25-0 is a successful season. When do you think you will see that again?
A VERY successful season is a FF.
Not every year can be a FF. Not really the standard to measure success from year to year. A program of our caliber should be a sweet 16 every year. After that depends on the year. Yes this year we feel with the 25-0 start that FF is the measurement. But the 25-0 stands on it's own.

We're Syracuse University.
I want a championship damnit.

Syracuse should have three goals right now:
If the season ends without any of those, it will be a failure. Can't be upset if you only get one (short of winning the ACC and not making it out of the first weekend of NCAA), but if you manage to get two of those it will be a win by absolutely any measure.
- Winning the ACC
- Making the Final Four
- Winning the National Title

And nobody can argue... our coach is right now perhaps the most entertaining in D1.
Often on purpose, sometimes on accident, but his post-game comments are always worth seeking out.
