In general the last 6 seasons in conference SU has played in a lot of low scoring games. I would venture that of the power conference teams the average total points scored and allowed per game, SU is near the bottom. Part of that is the style of today's college game. However part of that is also the Zone. Plus JB has become a defensive coach first. In the past he brought in talent and tried to fit it to the Zone. Now he recruits to the Zone, which makes our D better but hurts our O.

We play boring basketball. The last 6 seasons we have failed to score 75 points per game. We have had one Top 50 finish nationally in PPG (39th), and only 3 Top 100 (58th, 80th). So half of the seasons we have failed to be Top 100 nationally in scoring. And it isn't like we haven't had good teams those six year. We have made a Final Four, been a 1 seed, and a 3 seed twice. In terms of Ws and Ls we have had success. I love the Zone in the NCAAs as it is a weapon, but it has become a bore to watch the regular seasons games.
