Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5308250, member: 628"] It was a transparent ploy by Boeheim to excuse his regular season mediocrity. Fair or not, often times the perception of a program is tied to its tourney success. However, the *health* of a program is inextricably linked to its regular season success. UVA failed often as a high seed in the tourney. But the fact they were so often a high seed proved that they were an extremely healthy program. SU hasn’t been a healthy program for a decade now. 2014 was the last time. Ever since it’s been bubbles or worse. So many people handwaved that away as due to probation or early entries. But there was a program rot underneath it all that wasn’t addressed. And now we’re dealing with the consequence of that neglect. [/QUOTE]
