Just look at Chukwu if you're Akok, he had more impact as a freshman at PC than he has had at Cuse with 3 years in the program. He literally has not advanced a bit. How is that even possible?

I'd be curious to hear your analysis on Chukwu having "more impact as a freshman at PC than Cuse". Did you watch the NCAA tournament last year?

Are you serious with this statement? That's what you are going to hang your hat on?
The life span of a Cuse player in the NBA can't be longer than 4 years except for your rental player Melo who has disrupted the mojo on every pro team he has played - he's doing wonders for those Rockets
I have two close friends who went to Cuse and they just shake their heads at the blinders that most Cuse fans wear and their overall knowledge of anything related to basketball outside of Cuse
I miss the days of the OBE tournaments and sitting near Cuse fans and tormenting them

Well, in January of 2015 PC was down by 7 points at half at Butler. Cooley was disgusted with the effort so he put Chukwu in to start the second half where he never came out once for the rest of the game. He won the game for them, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks including sinking 2 free throws in the final seconds to ice it. Has he ever had that kind of impact in one game at Cuse? A conference game? Against a top 25 team on the road? Plus he was a freshman.

Half-time meetup behind sec 119, everyone is going to grab a delicious MSG spicy chicken sandwich and laugh at Cuse fans as they stumble by in their hideous orange apparel

I did the BET for 10 straight years at least and I always found Cuse fans in person to be more level-headed than other fanbases. Quite apart from their message board warriors.

The Georgetown fans sneered at everyone.
The Hall fans wanted to fight.
The WV fans provided entertainment.
The Louisville fans were back in Louisville.
Notre Dame was kinda like Georgetown except they were also wondering why they were there.
And worst of all--by far the worst fanbase--the Pitt fans who were just obnoxious and uppity and mostly went home with their tails wagging between their legs.

Were it not for the BET, I would have never developed a total hatred of Pitt basketball.

I agree with that. I had quite the episode with some Pitt fans at 2002 BET.
 
Over the years at the Rent I have observed more Pitt fans, than any other school, escorted out by security. Every time we played them.

I second this...and as much as uconn /cuse dislike each other. The fans of both teams are verryyyy similar.

So your one example from his freshman season is a game in which he played 23 minutes and had 4 points and 9 rebounds is evidence that he's never had that production while at Syracuse?

Aside from nearly going blind 2 years ago and making a comeback last season, 30 seconds of research showed me that Chukwu had 14 and 9 vs. Wake Forest, and then had 6 & 10 vs. TCU in the NCAA Tournament last year. Seems more "productive" than the Butler game in 2015. I'm not saying Chukwu is Anthony Davis, but your argument is lazy and ill-informed.

Chukwu has never been offensively talented. He was recruited out of HS by PC, UConn, and SU, simply because he is 7'2 and can block shots and get rebounds. I expect him to be better this season after basically missing 2 years with the transfer and serious (almost career-ending) eye injury.

Okay, that is fair but I don't think he has developed that much at all.

UConn played Butler a few years ago. We beat them and won the national championship. But your Butler story was cool too. Good one.
 
Since we are talking about Butler and Syracuse, I remember a really funny story about when a #1 seed Syracuse team lost to Butler in the Sweet 16 in 2010. It was even funnier when # 3 seed Syracuse teams lost to #11 seeds Marquette and Dayton in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Who won those championships in 2011 and 2014?
