Ken Pomeroy goes after Syracuse's ridiculous scheduling practice...

Well yes and no. The zone Cuse runs (with the payers they recruit for it) is better than most zones because of its length.

My point about good guards was that the only time I've seen Cuse go outside the zone recently is when an inferior team (like say Albany) is staying close. In those cases they switch to an aggressive press. That works against teams without good guards but you will rarely(never) see them try to press against high majors.

Cuse gets a good amount of highly ranked high schoolers. The proven is they don't always develop. Coleman and Christmas being the latest examples.

You mention the 2004 team as an example of NBA guys and I agree but some comes from the development of the players. Only Charlie was a McDAA and drafted. Okafor/Boone/Armstrong were not highly rated and even Gordon was only in the 40s or so. The Cuse system doesn't allow for a lot of growth to s om.

The guy is saying the 2011 team was an exception when it comes to the NBA--he's not even aware that after next year, Kemba, Lamb and Shabazz will be in the NBA. Hardly an exception at all.

Besides, Kevin Ollie is proving himself as a recruiter.

5 AAC teams in the top 25. How many ACC? Also, UConn played Cuse last year. It worked out.

I wasn't even bringing conference affiliation into it. If you want to trumpet the AAC, have at it hoss. Yes, UConn played Cuse last year. I guess we have you to thank for "toughening" us with a challenging reg season game which prepared us to make the Final Four.

My first post was about OOC scheduling, the point of the thread. Then someone responded by telling me to get lost. Then I got salty and called you losers. Hey it's an internet message board, it's all good.

In another 10 years those 3 championships of yours will start to look more and more like Harvard talking about all their football championships from prehistoric days.

You know you have lost when your only comeback is "well in the future...".

It is pretty sad that two schools we have surpassed, PC and Cuse, are limited to pathetically grasping at straws as to why one day it will all be different....[/quote]
You win dude. Let's only talk present. Cuse is coming off a Final Four season and is ranked #1 in the country. I don't even know what UConn is doing.

Next time you make the F4, try to win a championship.

Secondly, I wasn't even responding to you. Holy cow, can you read?

UConn: 2 years after a national championship, and kicked Syracuse's rear end last they played.

You don't know what Uconn is doing, but just spent the better part of your afternoon on a Uconn board. Congrats dude. #1 in February. You guys can hang a banner and make another t-shirt for it. Maybe you can sell pieces of the net for every game you play in Feb while #1. Let's get creative here.

You do not know what UConn is doing? But you have been here all day, obviously you do and you care about it a lot. Man, you are just not that bright. You had a decent come back then you threw it all away at the end...........

#1 in February congrats........... I know that is a huge deal up there. I hear you guys make sweet shirts to celebrate it too! Try being #1 at the end of the year, like UConn was in 2011, 2004, and 1999. It is nice to have little brothers and give them something to aspire to be.

That's because you're a dope and know little outside of Orangeville pal…….how did you do in the FF? Just wondering aren't you supposed to win that when you get there? Congrats on the moral victory…..did you buy last years "WE WERE TIED FOR 3RD" FF tee shirt? Funny stuff….

3 to 1 ! Live with it!

Or Helms championships or #1 tee-shirts.

Face it, we've replaced our legend well, while you guys are replacing your (underperforming) legend with a guy that will drop you into the dregs of the ACC.
Expand ...

This is the best point. Uconn may be in the inferior conference, but we have successfully replaced our Hall of Fame coach with Kevin Ollie who has already established himself tactically, as a motivator and a recruiter and our future looks great regardless of conference affiliation.

Everyone says you want to be the guy after the guy when it comes to replacing a legend but UCONN has proven that wrong with KO. Me thinks Mike (?) Hopkins is not quite the answer. Good luck with that.

I'm surprised there isn't more starvation in Connecticut - because most of you guys aren't smart enough to be able to feed yourself.. Almost any true road game in a tough conference is difficult - even in the AAC - and especially in the ACC. The way the schedule has worked out - many of these are near the end of the year for SU.
Expand ...
I don't understand why Cuse loser's come here to herald yourself and your classless program. You guys are historically the highest rated program that always sucks in the post season and embarrasses themselves. How many times have you guys underachieved when the post season started. Year after year, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, etc.,ect. You've won so many close games this year against garbage and escaped again the other night on a shot that was less than a one in thirty to go in from 35 feet to save an embarrassing loss. Didn't you have a pretty decent lead with a couple of minutes left in the game? Why recruits still decide to play up their in the boondocks for Jim Boeheim boggles my mind. Maybe he invites them to his house so they could ogle his beautiful wife, who obviously is blind and doesn't know any better than to end up with Mr. Personality himself. How many of his players ever really make or last in the NBA? He's had a few successes but they've been in spite of his stewardship rather than because of it. Carmelo Anthony got out before Boeheim could screw him up and that's his one and only championship. Wow, one championship on the back of a one and done who he did little or nothing to help improve. That says a lot, doesn't it???? A classless school that betrays alliances and contributed along with Pitt to destroy the best basketball conference in the history of our country. Classy man, Boheim!
 
I'm just not sure why a cuse fan would spend so much time on a uconn msg board... I know we're interesting guys but c'mon, you got to have better things to do

In the past with the BE they were able to get away with this stuff, but not now. Again it brings back the memory of a great conference. Back in the day all BE teams could at some point (i.e. season) have weak scheduling and still be ready come tourney time, including the BET.

I would be surprised if cuse lasts long in the Tourney this year as this can surely haunt them and backfire. Its a new day.

12-15-2014, I just checked NCAA SOS. The Score 'Cuse 52 SOS>UCONN 75 SOS, Just saying 25-0 v. whatever your irrelevant record is.

You realize that KenPom was crapping on your road game schedule, prior to the Pitt game? Overall SOS is decidedly irrelevant, as is overall record. I fit get why Cuse fans just don't own this. It's the way Boeheim schedules and likes it. It works well for you guys. You get mid season #1 tshirts and the occasional trip to a final four.

It's like owning being a sissy zone playing school, it's part of what makes Cuse exCuse.

12-15-2014, yeah? Impressive foresight. Just saying.

P.S. How terrified are you that you'll see us in the Tournament?

P.P.S. I'll answer for you: very terrified. Very.

Nice win over NC State at home dude……….the Catamounts await you!! NC State is now about as good as Siena……….but keep finding a way to win those huge games…………potentially the worst #1 team on the Top 25 in a very long time. Tough year for the voters……..but hey it sells Tee Shirts somewhere :rolleyes:

Cuse fans are drunk every time they reply to a thread I would guess because no one can be that stupid! So you get a pass……..
 
Hypothetical........... round of 16, UConn vs Syracuse at MSG. Which fan base would be more nervous? Not us. I would welcome that matchup anytime.

I get it. It must be hard living in the shadow of a program that gave you a 30 year head start. The facts are that our HOF Coach accomplished far more in half the time, our player development and NBA pedigree is like comparing apples to oranges(pun intended), and quite frankly, our blood is a lot more blue.

God these people are still here? We should have a 2 National Championship minimum to post on the Boneyard.
 
You can take it to the bank, Vir. will win the ACC regular season title!!

Please let that be the Sweet 16 game, pretty please, an automatic Orange roll to the Elite 8 unless we have to play the Lady Huskies in which case we are doomed.
