Some good stuff

"This team is not anywhere near a good basketball team,"

"We're learning. I hope. I don't see it, but I hope we will learn. There's not that much time left. Nothing is going to happen magically. But I know that I can not coach catching the basketball at this stage."

This isn't like the last six years. We're going to struggle to win a game. We're going to struggle to win a game, any game that we play. This game is not going to beat anybody that's any good if they don't play better. That means all 18 games in the ACC. I don't care if somebody thinks, oh, they're not that good. They're good enough. Trust me. We have to play a lot better, we have to get better and we have to figure that out and we'll see.

Chris McCullough has got to realize he's 6-foot-10.

We're not learning. Catching the ball with two hands, I don't know, I think they teach you that in sixth grade. I'm not sure. Some place. I hope. Before now. Some place. When we're worried as a coaching staff about that how can we even think about what we're going to run this play. We have to get better at the fundamental things."

Sounds like someone got plugged into the results of the NCAA investigation.

Or he got his first bill from his defense attorneys in the defamation suit.

Or Both.

I wonder how many years Jimmy B. has left at Syracuse. He's 70, this group is going to be very frustrating to coach and with the NCAA sanctions looming it makes you wonder. Haven't always been much of a fan of his but I will be sad when that day comes.

If he could retire retroactively, he might take back the last few months.

I love how he throws his team under the bus and takes zero accountability as head coach. I hope he stays another 10 years.

And pin them on Mike Hopkins.

If he's as rough on them as he is on nose, they'll be a tough out come March. Their screening should improve at any rate. Certainly no one knows picks Boeheim.
