OT: Syracuse

[uconngb]

Texas in Texas and Florida in Miami too.

Maryland was in Syracuse though.

Wasn’t UNC in 98 in NC?

Yes.

We also had to play Ohio St in Cincinnati in 1992.

1990: Duke in the Meadowlands

1992: Ohio St. in Dayton

1994: Florida in Miami

1995: UCLA in Oakland

1996: Mississippi St. In Lexington, KY, where they won the SEC tournament 11 days prior

1998: UNC in Greensboro

2002: Maryland in DC

2003: Texas in San Antonio

When you lay it out like this, it looks like there might be something to it. I'm no conspiracy theorist though.

Not sure how 1990's location landed on this list.

I'm pretty sure 1992 was in Cincinnati (not that Dayton is that far from Cincy).

Considering location, 1994 & 1995 were really only partials. They were on locations where our opponent didn't have a huge resident base and were a decent distance to travel for their fan bases. Point taken however.

1996 was in Indianapolis.

2002 was in Syracuse.

New Jersey is a home game for Duke, especially back then.

That list was off the top of my head. My memory is obviously terrible.

Does anyone know how many boards Kobe actually haunts?

I still don’t understand the “luck” claims around our natties in 11’ and 14’ they constantly talk about over there. We peaked at the right time and won most of our games very convincingly. We had the best player in each tourney and beat great teams on the way. In 14’ we beat Nova, Iowa St, Kentucky and Florida (the overall #1 and heavy favorite). That was a brutal path.

In 2011 we had to beat very good Arizona and Kentucky teams and repeat finalist Butler (coached by Brad Stevens). We also had to beat an SDSU team that was ranked #6 in the country.

I focus more on our bad luck. We lost Jerome Dyson to an Achilles when we were clearly the best team in the country in 2009. (even then, we still made the FF). We’d have gotten #6.

We also lost regional finals in NC to Duke and UNC, Maryland in Washington DC, UCLA in Oakland and some other oddities that really screwed us. We should have 6-8 titles. (The accuracy of this last paragraph wasn’t researched, going on memory)

The luck thing is absurd. If it's so easy why doesn't Syracuse do it,

 

[Inyatkin]

Or literally anyone else. It's an argument with no merit

Nobody ever spoke about Danny Manning's miraculous run to the title as "luck". That's not how it works.

I went to Syracuse with my daughter who is good (not outstanding) student. We thought Syracuse was fine. Campus was fine. Town isn't great, but there's enough by the campus to be fine. She isn't going to be a communications major. We really looked at Syracuse as a state-like University. So, once she got into a couple solid public schools, we agreed to take Syracuse off the list. We're not a fan of our home state university, but when comparing Syracuse to comparably ranked public schools (like UConn), it's hard to justify $25k or so extra per year.

Yeah, the "strengths" of the cultural side of Syracuse are nowhere near SU and some crappy areas are in between. Campus is meh as well. And outside those few small areas of downtown Syracuse that are decent, the spralling burbs around it don't have anything really unique, either, TBF.

The fabled Dino-BQ is even further away than Armory square. Its a 40 minute walk to either one from campus.

That's clearly a labor of love

I thought our success was due to Coach Hurley, his staff, our great players and the legacy we have built over the last several decades. Apparently, others have a different theory.

If Hop stayed on like the succession plan dictated back in 2018, I firmly believe that UConn's massive success and resurgence would not be taking place. Hop took Isaiah Stewart w him to UW, a virtual Syracuse lock from Albany and future NBA'er, Andre Jackson, would have come here. We were...

The guy's a great coach, destroyed his own program while raising another. Epic stuff youd expect from a HOFer.

Believing the world centers around you is something that starts to discipate around the time you are five years old. As an adult, your perspective on the world should be well formed.

Being in that head must be pretty challenging.......

The level of delusion there is astounding.

But why are we concerned with what Cuse forum thinks? We've got more important things to chat about during this team's run.
