Their best big will be out …. Similar to MANNY BATES

Excellent job working Manny Bates into the conversation!
Maybe there's an ESPN job in store.

You mean Manny Alcindor O’Neil Olajuwon?

Today I went to throw my trash away and then realized , none of the trash would have made it into the can had Manny Bates been around

Sure...after all he is a rim protector

Getting back to the point here...the Orange have some BAD losses that will hang over their heads even if they go 10-2 the rest of the regular season and ACC Tourney.

G-town has lost 10...count 'em... 10 in a row.
Have zero BE wins.
Which should make us all feel good.

But even if the Orange win out and beat Duke twice the G-town game is a disgrace that puts a huge stain on the season.

I LOOOOAAAAATHE G-town.

Georgetown played aggressive defense the whole second halr and wound up with 4 fouls not counting the one at the end against Girard when it didn't matter. SU had 3 free throws in the second half, i believe. Don't play Georgetown or any BigEast teams.

We’ve dug such a big hole that even now the only path to an NCAA bid is an ACCT title.
Here’s the thing though…when we’re playing at our very best, ie; “making shots”, this team can beat anyone. So at least there’s that.

Two solid wins in a row, have brought us from two games back in the "L" column to .500

To avoid JB's first losing regular season, the team needs to go 5-4 from this point forward. Didn't seem possible even just a week ago, but it doesn't seem unattainable now.
Will we get there? TBD.

5 of them are home games. Tough "back 9."

My…..how our standards have changed.

My…..how our standards have changed.

Not really -- my expectations for the program are unchanged, despite the results. I'm quite displeased with the downward trend the program has taken over an extended number of years. I squarely believe that this is a pattern of decline that's been evident for 7+ years, not a knee jerk reaction to this year's .500 record.

I also agree with you that for many posters, it appears that their standards have slipped in terms of where they see our place in the college basketball landscape, based upon the contentment they express with respect to our current level of performance, and their desire for continuity when JB eventually steps down.

But what this thread is referring to is whether or not JB can avoid the outcome of having his first losing season in 46 years.

Spoiler alert


We will end up 15-16 on the season. Then we will go on a run in the ACCT making the finals (we are over due). We will all get our hopes up of making the NCAAT but get blown out, ending 18-17.

Oh stop.
