This wasn't a fluke.  This SU team is just not that good, at least at this point in the season.  The fact that we were down 3 at the half, and that was the closest the game ever was after that speaks for itself.  Additionally, we were completely EXPOSED on D, as was the fear going into this season with our incredible lack of any semblance of athleticism, let alone for a P5 program.

No doubt Buddy is a good player, but the fact that he is our STAR player also speaks for itself in how far SU has fallen in talent level.  When recruited here, he was supposed to be a complimentary guy, someone that could contribute in certain situations, etc.  If he was elite, etc., he should of been able to carry this team against the likes of Colgate.  But, he didn't.  Again, not a knock on Buddy, just a knock on the the current state of the talent level we have.

Consistent middle of the pack/middling program, which, we will most likely remain again this year in our conference.  Being on the bubble will also remain our status quo.  But hey, come March, we could win a whopping 2 games in the Dance if we are so fortunate to get in...so all's good in the world in relation to SU's hoops.
