See the reply below mine for a true assessment and honest guess.

Living in the past and using it as a basis for guesses is fine, if you're looking to feel good about something. Or you're wearing orange colored glasses.

You, sir, are doing just that.

A few other things SU basketball has done (or had done)...
[LIST]
[*]Syracuse basketball had gone 46 years without a losing record. Cross that one off.
[*]Syracuse basketball had beaten at least one ranked team every season since 1980. Cross that one off.
[*]Until this recent 8-year stretch, there had not been more than 3 consecutive years where SU basketball had failed to be seeded a 4-seed or better in the NCAA Tournament since before the tournament expanded to 32 teams in 1975.
[*]Until this recent 8-year stretch, there had not been longer than a stretch of two seasons where SU basketball failed to be seeded a 5-seed or better in the NCAA Tournament.
[*]Taking out the COVID season of 2020-21, the top winning percentage over the last 8 years has been .622 (23-14, done twice). Since 1982-83 (32 seasons), SU basketball failed to hit that .622 winning percentage mark just twice - 1996-97 (Winfred Walton ineligible) and 2007-08 (Devendorf injury).

This is without a doubt the worst stretch of SU basketball in its history. I am at a loss when it comes to your approval of this head coach, and the constant excuses. It's over. It's been over. And the old man needs to realize it sooner rather than later.
