Syracuse is screwed

I see a lot of twisting like pretzels to cope with this situation. Give the devil his due. They’re in the spotlight, we’re not. In the last 5 years, they’ve done better when it matters, we haven’t. Elite 8’s, Sweet 16’s, and Final 4’s are good results, and we’d kill to have that kind of underachieving post-Ollie. They’ll never be us, and we don’t wanna be them. But it’s childish to pout and throw up whatsboutisms to explain what’s happening. C u c k Fuse. That is all.
 
Yup. Egg on our face. ‘Cuse still dancing while where sitting in the sidelines. I’m still mad. October 2021 is a long ways away.
 
Say what you will, Boeheim is a very good coach, especially when it matters. On some thread recently somebody tried to compare him to Ollie because they both had 1 national championship. But if you look at what he does every year in the post season even when his teams aren’t that good there is no question he knows what he is doing.

The knock I heard from URI guys on Hurley is that in the big spotlight he spit the bit. It definitely is something to watch given our record in big games this year. You can’t say that about Boeheim.

He’s finished no better than 8th since 2015 in the ACC. He gets lucky in the tourney playing teams that have never seen a zone. They were trash during the regular season.

they have the easiest path to the final four

We can hate on Boeheim and the Cuse, but there is no question he is a very good coach. He has proven that over decades. Comparing Ollie and Hurley to him or any Hall of Fame coach is silly.

Easy path or not you still have to win the games in front of you. They did against two teams that had better athletes and slightly better talent than them. That's where coaching and strategy come in.

PS: Buddy and Girard won't have the same space to rain 3's against Houston like they did against WVU and San Diego St. Sampson is an excellent coach, and his guards are very good. This will be a close game. Expecting Houston to pull it out by 4 pts in the end.

I don't really get Boeheim's rotation. If I were a Cuse fan I'd probably be annoyed. The 6'10" shot blocker significantly impacted the 1st half. But he struggles to find minutes.
