I've been known to take pictures of some of my better "specimens" and send them to my wife and some friends. I may have to ship these folks something for their exhibit.

I would crush that.

Championship?

Tyus Battle is the truth. Also, I heard that Cuse has a very good chance at landing Columbia junior transfer SG Grant Mullins. He is eligible to play immediately, and shot 45% from 3 point range last season.

The writing has been on the wall since January. I wish the kid the best. He handled the situation with class and dignity, and from what I have heard was a great teammate throughout.

Haha...yeah, nice.

^^^^ Love me some Tyrod. I hope the Bills lock him up soon.

Take the pain train to Brown Town!! Choo Choo!!!'

I say too early to evalute due to the small sample size, and the team was playing like doodie anyway right after Atlantis pretty much until JB returned (and then they stunk again after about 7 games). I think Hop has earned a full shot at taking over for JB regardless of the results of his short stint as interim HC.

Props to UNC. Those late 3's by Paige were killers. Mike G was the bad Mike G last night turning the ball over left and right. No magic left in the tank, unfortunately. I don't dislike UNC one bit, but I'm pulling for Nova to win it all. Jay Wright is a class act, and I gotta cheer for the old Big East. Whatever happens it was a great tourney.

I'll take a stab at it. He's an immature, egotistical a**hole. He'll mesh well with the current players/coaches in New England.

Yeah...I'm doubtful as well, however, I never in a million years thought they'd get past Virginia. And they shot the ball like absolute doodie in the first half in that game. This is a different Syracuse team than we saw in the regular season and conference tourney. I don't know why or how it happened, but they are. Especially defensively. We'll just have to see what happens.

You know how I roll...

Crazy sex might make that baby come sooner than later.

Of course, tons of fluids, vitamin C, remove carbs and sugars from diet, and plenty of rest. Also, my Mother always gave us a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water a few times per day. Not sure why it works, but it seems to do the trick. I am not a doctor, but I did stay at a Comfort Inn last night.

Nope, we are not banned from the tourney next year. Plus, we actually got scholarships back, and at present, we still have one open for 2016. I think they still have a decent shot at Taureen Thompson.

Agreed. Although Brice Johnson is not human, and I see him being a very good pro as well.

This is strange....

JB said in post game speech that this is the team he is most proud of over his 40 year career. I believe him. MVP's to Richardson and Lydon. Boeheim with a masterful coaching effort. LGO!!!

I actually hear what the guy's saying and I am empathetic to a degree. I think it's disrespectful, however, for him to assert that we can't be "real fans" because we are not SU alums. I think maybe it's time for bbb to start his own thread and stop crusading here. Anyway...moving on. I'm so freaking pumped!! Go ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I need to lay off the gin and tonics and deviled eggs...haha.

Yeah, Virginia is a tough, well rounded squad, and Bennett has them playing great basketball. I'm trying to remain optimistic, but this is a difficult matchup for Syracuse. I'd rather them play UNC to be honest. We'll see...

If you can't handle a little bit of gentle teasing, then maybe you shouldn't frequent a Syracuse basketball thread to talk smack. Your team didn't get selected, perhaps unjustly, but then lost to a D-III team in the NIT. Grow up.

Yeah. I've been fine with your presence in this thread until now. Hell, my Sister is even a Bona alum and I respect the program, but you sir can go kick rocks.
