Seems like they've stacked some wins at the end of the season. Win both remaining and a ACC tourney game I think would do Win 1-2 and 2 ACC tourney games could do This team is peaking and has wayyy more individual talent than most 11-12-13 seeds 1 1 Quote
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I saw something today that after the VATech win Syracuse has a +50% chance of getting an at large bid as an 11 seed. Squarely on the bubble. 2 Quote

Did you hear anything about what was going on regarding Benny? Hockey season just ended for my son, so I have about 4 weeks to enjoy my interests before lacrosse season begins. 😂 I’ve been following along and have been to a couple games this season. I did hear that Benny and Red have been butting heads all season. Benny throwing tantrums at practice and in the locker room. Sounds like their relationship had become quite toxic, and Benny was just not a very good teammate. Autry knew he had to cut bait to “reset” the team culture. I’m not sure if there were any other contributing factors, or what was “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” FWIW 1 2 Quote
Buffalo716 Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 Big game at 8! Even tho it's a lowly Louisville squad they need to come out fast and put it away early 1 Quote
Buffalo716 Posted March 3 Author Posted March 3 I just want to say that this team is absolutely loaded for next year if they stay loyal to the orange And quadir is going to be an NBA player himself with the awesome development of the orange staff He's got the whole bag my God he could easily be a top 20 draft pick when it's all said and done if he sticks it out 1 Quote

A very promising group. Encouraged to see Bell take the next step too. Even Taylor has looked a lot better, despite not having found his outside shot. I think we absolutely need to have Starling, Bell, Brown, and Copeland back next year to build on this season. That might be overly optimistic. Quote
Steptide Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Pretty impressive what this team has done this season. They've looked pretty bad at times, but they're super young, and 20 wins for a rookie hc is pretty impressive. Like others said, if this team stays together, their gonna be awesome in the coming years Quote

I think that, in order to snag an at-large bid, they have to win @ Clemson on Tuesday, and then win 2 games in the ACC Tournament. As for Benny, I think it was a cumulative thing. Autry probably should have given him the boot after Williams destroyed a toilet (literally, not with a massive dump) in the locker room Quote

transplantbillsfan Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Please just let them make the tourney so I can get my March sports fix!!! 2 1 Quote
nemhoff Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I don't get the narrative around SU this year and them being on the bubble. 20 wins, 4th in ACC, peaking at the right time of year...they would be a given for the tourney most any other year. They are super young, but clearly have been growing into their talent over the past 6 weeks. I think that Bell has been the difference, his assertiveness on offense has been awesome. And the light finally turned on for him to play a little defense and rebound. If he can keep doing those things he could be a 1st round pick with his shot. Just imagine if Jesse had stayed and we had a true center on this team?? It also would shock me if Judah went to Georgetown next year, does anyone know why? I mean that would be such a step back for his career IMO...either stay at Cuse or go pro. Is the NIL money that much better at GU? Quote

It's because the ACC is considered a shell of itself Which hurts Quote
Buffalo716 Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 This is the biggest game of the year without a doubt Quote

Bermuda Triangle Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Yeah, absent winning the ACC Tournament, SU is not making the tourney. Just a lack of effort on defense and on the boards. Quote
Bray Wyatt Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Clemson is a bad match up for cuse rn, two bigs that are a threat to score and rebound and a lot more experience (4 seniors) to our all sophomore team 2 Quote

DCOrange Posted March 6 Posted March 6 If we could just get Judah to stay one more year, I feel like next year's team could be awesome. Going to have to hope for more improvements from Quadir/JJ and or maybe some portal luck. Donnie Freeman is probably the first kid to come here in a decade where he's pretty much a no-brainer NBA player unless he literally doesn't improve at all. Quote
