OT: Cuse

Cuse is the perfect storm of letting an old antiquated coach running a ridiculously out of date system stick around 5 years too long to the point of losing momentum on brand, and then idiotically hiring one of his alumni assistants with no HC experience. When does this ever work?

No power conference school should hire a coach without successful years of HC experience at the collegiate level elsewhere. Why even take the risk when every year there are options out there? You deserve what you get when you do it.

Rutgers is 8-7 this season with two Top 5 draft picks on the roster. I'll say it again, loved him as a Husky player, but Pikiell's highly overrated as a coach. He's in his ninth season at Rutgers, has one 20 win season there and is 1-3 in his career in the NCAA Tournament. Bailey and Harper wasted their one year of college ball. Great he was a Husky, but some honesty on his coaching ability.

Watched a bit of the Rutgers game against wisc
It’s hard to be a good coach when your lottery pick three for 20

Ace reminds me a lot of Donyell. I'm ready surprised that they are 8-7. I hate to agree with you, because I like Pikell and even wanted UConn to go after him before Hurley was hired.

There's enough talent on that team for to have a much better record and their fan base is not happy.

Happy we ended up with Hurley and I hope Pikell turns things around. How they landed two top guys is beyond me. It's cruel thing to happen to a fan base, but they, like the Cuse guys love trashing Uconn

I chose my handle to clown on Syracuse. I revel in their misery but I also look forward to seeing them turn it around and at least be respectable again.

I'd rather see old Big East teams in the top 25 than all these SEC schools.

I have very bad phone service where I work so the OP's image didn't show up, so I only saw it on Instagram. My bad.
 
A selection of many teams' fans are "jagbags" (wha...?). Including us sometimes. Three things about Syracuse.

1. That 6 OT game in the BET was the most gripping and intense basketball game I have attended. I only wish the outcome had been different. But it was mesmerizing.
2. The BE games with Syracuse were always "must watch" and intense. Back in the day every BE game, even those not involving UConn but with 'Nova, SU, St. Johns and Georgetown were appointment TV. Games between Butler and Depaul, or Xavier and St. Johns just don't compare.
3. My brother attended Syracuse.

So I can't jump on the bash SU bandwagon. BC, on the other hand ... ;)

The Onion must have a new writer that is a college basketball fan because they also had one about Cooper Flagg the other day too.

I think they're just seeking out low hanging fruit (pun intended as it relates to Syracuse).

they arent the knicks. the casual fan couldnt care less about Cuse.

i completely agree the BE is better with a good Gtown team since they are probably still the third or fourth biggest brand, so as a BE fan i'm rooting for them to turn it around. but i will never root for anything good to happen to Cuse or the ACC.

"Those two are incredibly talented young men with very bright futures in the NBA but they don't try hard defensively," a high-major assistant who faced Rutgers this season told CBS Sports. "In college, any time any team is built around two freshmen and those freshmen don't necessarily have the maturity or intangibles of what goes into winning yet, it's going to impact your team. That's not saying they're bad young men, they just don't have what it takes to win yet."

Instead, Steve Pikiell is overseeing one of the most disappointing — and vexing — teams in the sport. With yet another loss Princeton home L to Kennesaw State, Rutgers isn't even a bubble team. That's what can happen when you change your template and rely on freshmen after having never done so before, as Pikiell is responsible for now.

Court Report: Rutgers could be first team to miss NCAA Tournament despite having two top-five NBA Draft picks

One more nugget from Norlander's article posted above.

Things are dire for the ACC: 12 of the 18 teams in the conference rank worse than 73rd in the NET. Even going back to the problematic era of the RPI, I can't ever remember a power conference having so much dead weight.

I was channel surfing and watched for about 5 minutes midway through the first half. 4 1/2 of the minutes watched was trying to figure out why so many Notre Dame fans were at a 'ville v. 'cuse game.

Get Hodgson, Get Melo on Board

Kelsey year 1 just showed us what ripping off the band aid and hiring the right coach means. I hope JW has the leadership and funds to do it... Go out and get Hodgson and get Melo on board with it. I sure hope the wheels are turning on the DL. Do the job, John Wildhack. Red will always be a...

Want to get really mad? Look at Georgetown's development

Since they beat us at home in December, they offer a good contrast to the trajectory of our seasons since that point, and how the development of the two squads is moving in opposite directions. They have continued to improve and have been competitive in their Big East matchups, even winning a...

Honest question

Does anyone think that there is any coach on earth that can be successful with this particular group of players? I have never in my lifetime witnessed weaker post defenders. It is so easy to get the ball into the paint and then have less resistance putting in the hoop.Sorry, that’s not coaching...

Is anyone confident we can have a winning team under Red next year?

We aren’t winning with just the freshmen coming in and I have zero idea who’s worth keeping or who will stay. We need a complete change in philosophy. We play meathead basketball. We can’t make 3’s and we don’t get enough shots at the rim. Tonight was the 13th time in 21 losses where we have...
