Poll on the Syracuse Board

[John]

Cuse fans should be more concerned about the fact that 20 wins in the mighty ACC doesn't get you to the Big Dance. ACC is beginning to smell a lot like AAC both in basketball and football

4 teams plus ND in the final Top 25?

 

[AdamaNation]

The jealousy and envy are palpable.

We wouldn’t know because no one cares.

 

[CL82]

It's amazing how so many old-time Big East rivals have fallen on hard times.

People who say they don’t want to be in a conference with SYRACUSE have no idea how much fun it is to live rent free in the head of someone who hates you that much and you just love to beat.
In the New Big East PC enjoys that kind of hate for us but except for the few who didn’t get the memo , we’re pretty ambivalent towards them which drives them crazy.
Syracuse , Georgetown, St John’s , Villanova , Pitt , and maybe even Cinncy were ahead of PC .
Creighton and their insane fanbase have great potential unless Villanova rights the ship , Pitino can bring back the Johnies ,
or a miracle happens on the Potomac.

Meanwhile I’m hoping for Duke to lose every game they play. But at least I stay on brand…

as a mbb season ticket holder, Syracuse was the annual game circled on the calendar.

Unfortunately their hate does not make them strong nor give them focus

 

[TheHorde]

If the BY put up a poll with the roles reversed, it might theoretically poll Syracuse losing to a 16 seed lol. At least they’re realistic to know that’s not happening with UConn. Their program HAS lost to a 15 seed before.

I like how those morons are letting us win our first round matchup vs the 16.
I'd rather win the NIT than have Cuse lose the 1 v 8/9.
I'd rather lose the NIT if they lost the 1 v 16 game. That would bring great endless joy! Shame! Shame! Shame!

Well, I for one was shocked when I heard the other day that they did something they hadn't done in TEN years!!! They won 20 games.

I was like, OMB, Cuse has not won 20 games in a decade ? YIKES

 

[Chin Diesel]

Most shocking to me is Syracuse is 20-11 and 11-9 in the ACC and they are not considered an NCAA caliber team. How the ACC has fallen over the past few years.

Their NET is horrible.

That’s what happens when you play in a mid-major conference.

 

[gsmooth]

Syracuse:

This might go down as the funniest post of the year. Well done, Dove, LMFAO!

 

[80shusky]

No one wants to play in the NIT because it means you didn't have a very good season. If you stuck in it, you might as well try to win it. But at the beginning of the year it is virtually no one's goal to make the NIT.

No I get that part. What I mean is once you are already there, where you can't make the dance, why not participate?

 

[Vowelguy]

Wow, they are really putting their thumb on the scale here -- not only do mediocre P6 teams get automatic bids, but they get top 4 seeds.

Speculation is that the NCAA is so worried about the big2 breaking away that they are trying to appease them with handouts.

 

[J187Money]

I forgot they played basketball.

(in a way that's actually sad since it was such a great rivalry)

 

[freescooter]

Who the hell cares about winning the NIT? I mean it's nice. If you're in the NIT, you'd like to win, but it's sort of a ho-hum thing. I get far more joy in seeing the teams I don't like choke.

I'm sure Cam agrees with me.

It’s like saying you’d rather win the New Big East Tournament than the NCAA Tournament. I suppose it’s nice but really, who cares.

 

[freescooter]

Wow, they are really putting their thumb on the scale here -- not only do mediocre P6 teams get automatic bids, but they get top 4 seeds.

Yeah. That plus FOX was threatening to create its own Loser bracket tournament for just FOX affiliated leagues. There are lots of benefits to being a mediocre Team in a good conference

 

[Dogdeacon]

It's a weakass move worrying what any other team's fans think especially when the team you follow is the defending champ and a strong favorite to repeat.

Wow, impressive heel turn.
100% true, yet it is almost as true that a Retired Professor Jekyll Emery has taken over posting on your behalf.

 

[temery]

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Actually, I don't get whatever it is you are trying to say. It's always been my position that dragging crap here from other boards is a waste of bandwidth.

No heal turn or Jekyll/hyde going on.

 

[Shamon30]

In two more years, a thread will be named

The CBI is a very good and tough tournament

Then it'll be - Being a Division 1 Team is an Honor

 

[MilliniumPrince]

It's a sad state of affairs over in the cuse camp

Not sad at all. In fact, it is quite a joyous state of affairs.

That said, I think their new coach has a shot a getting them back on course within 2 seasons

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Most shocking to me is Syracuse is 20-11 and 11-9 in the ACC and they are not considered an NCAA caliber team. How the ACC has fallen over the past few years.

That is the bigger story. I always thought the ACC was more hype than substance, but the current state of the conference is stunning.

I think winning the NIT would be a great start for a new coach who is trying to rebuild a program while following the program's icon.

 

[GoConn]

Sad to see a once proud Cuse program be happy to make the NIT, while there old rival is defending national champions and the current favorites to repeat.

 

[Palatine]

No I get that part. What I mean is once you are already there, where you can't make the dance, why not participate?

I agree with that. You have to play the hand you are dealt.
