Syracuse Basketball 2025-2026

Cuse is back in action!!  I didn’t see a thread for the new season yet and there are a number of posters here that I really appreciate hearing from (especially living out in Oregon).  So let’s fire it back up…

 

The last few years have pretty much sucked, I am cautiously optimistic about the talent on the roster and have a feeling that Red better show up this year or he might be done.  So, let’s hear it fellas - how are you feeling?  Exhibition game #2 tonight - let’s go Orange!

I do not have high hopes based on the teams performance under Red.

 

I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if we do not improve or show signs of becoming a legit team again, I think Red is done too

Definitely a make or break year for Red but I'm not sure Cuse has much hope in the new NIL/Transfer Portal age.

 

To me this past NCAA tournament was one of the most boring I can remember with all the big schools just dominating. Can't be a coincidence that happened along with the Nil and transfer stuff blowing up.

I was just trying to read up on them

and watch the highlights of the first exhibition game. 
 

this might be rose colored glasses, but I think we can be really good. It’s got to start on the defensive end, And Red is going to have to really figure out these rotations. We could go 10 deep.

My school (Xavier In Cincinnati) branded itself with basketball. That has disappeared. You can no longer brag about graduating all your players, you just hope to be able to name a few. I don’t begrudge them getting paid, nor do I hate them having some mobility. Unfortunately, the resulting product we have now is something I just don’t care for as much. It’s like a new pickup game at the Y every season with players going to the highest bidders. Good for them, but I just don’t care. 

 

Anyway, my sister and a good friend went to Syracuse so I always had one eye on them. It’s the first college campus I ever saw. Good luck!
