Message: [QUOTE="Cuse House, post: 1991773, member: 3361"] Final Fours mask the fact we have been average the past few years. Even JB himself has said he thinks of success more as having a good season overall. I don't necessarily think going 19-13 in the regular season and then making the final four is a successful season. It was a great run, but last year was agony for most of the year. We all have orange-colored glasses, but at some point we have to be realistic. Our offense is terrible, our recruiting has been below average (to this point), and we just lost to a rival who is straight up terrible. Everyone wants to say "Well look at our final fours," but wants to ignore the obvious decline of the product. I would much rather have a season like 2012 and lose before the final four than last years squad because we had months of top notch basketball. I understand cto's point, but we are Syracuse, we shouldn't just settle for the easy excuse. [/QUOTE]
