A little Schadenfreude never hurt anybody..

 

[CTBasketball]

To be honest I completely forgot they existed.

Same here. Happened to see a Cuse fan leave a YouTube comment and was suddenly reminded of those Orange peasants.

The NIT is a great tournament - they'll be okay.

 

[djct1999]

They are acting he same way we would if we had missed the tourney two years in a row. Sad thing for them is they will suck next year too.

 

[nomar]

Nobody can take away their Helms Trophies...mostly because nobody knows what or where they are.

If they do well in it they'll be able to show how they pack the Garden as NY's team.

This year sucked for sure. If a couple chips fall our way, we should be significantly better next year. Lot of question marks though and you don't know who's going to be on the roster for at least another month or two.

May the only chips that fall your way be buffalo chips.

Who cares?

 

[DarthGrumpy]

In my dream, UConn men go off on another run, win their 5th NCAA title, get to have another dual title basketball parade in Hartford in April followed by a May announcement that UConn is joining the XII or B1G. In that dream, I am going to create about dozen alias and troll the Syracuse fan board , beer in hand, watching it all burn down.

Nah. You guys are gonna blow.

 

[80shusky]

Don't kill the mojo. We love our neighbors from the north country and look forward to playing them in the tournament. Next year, or maybe the year after...

 

[Jaker]

seriously, lets make the tourney first

Yeah unless something crazy happens with Lydon or Richardson you guys should be good next year. Must be nice to get a cake punishment from the NCAA that didn't impact this year's recruiting class at all.

Lose two starting fifth year senior guards. Bring in two 4-5 star players and Chukwu. It will be interesting to see if Richardson or someone else leaves. They actually weren't that different from UConn this year, but actually a bit luckier. Their challenge is 2018, when their coach in waiting takes over.

I'm sorry, I don't speak Canadian.

They really have no No. 1 option or reliable playmaker. Howard just makes up the numbers, and Richardson is more of a "Plan B" type player. Without Gbinije, they're meat.

As for Chukwu, if they have to play him more than 5 minutes a game they're in trouble.

 

[MattMang23]

Who are these people you all are talking about?

 

[Matrim55]

Buffalo, of course! Featuring assistant coach Donyell Marshall, our good friend.

They're into the conference final against Akron tomorrow. Go Bulls!

The scholarship reduction have definitely hurt but yeah I get your point, selectively banning last season was a big advantage.

Losing Gbinije is my only concern. He's the best playmaker on this year's squad. Not going to miss Cooney much. He was recruited as one of the best shooters in the nation and as one-dimensional as it gets at the college level, he's only a 33% career shooter from the arc.

Wow a Cuse fan that actually wants to talk basketball and not bash UConn, I'm impressed. Stick around, it's fun talking with fans of other teams without all the name calling.
