Man, they are terrible! Been watching them all yr long, but there's no excuse for this late season swoon. I just wish Hawaii could face Syracuse in the NCAA tournament for the 2nd straight yr. Payback city, baby.

I stand corrected. The gutless, unmotivated, overrated, underachieving Cuse won't even make it to the Dance.

I've been saying all season that Syracuse is one of the 2-3 most overrated teams in all of college buckets. They play a bunch of garbage cans at home in their non-conf to build up their w/l record, which doesn't fool the computers or sharp bettors, but fools the idiot writers and coaches who vote in the polls. Most of the season they've been rated higher than either Indiana or Southern Cal, two teams who would b-slap them into submission. But the media is East Coast biased, and when you're the NY rep in the Big East, you'll get plenty of TV time.

You're right. In fact, I do remember you saying the exact same thing I believe around the time they played Tennessee. East coast bias for sure. But when I saw them play today, down by 8 pts with 30 sec. left, and Villanova with the ball, and not even fouling, I thought to myself man, they've given up already. Given up on the game, the season, their coach.... They made a 3 later on to make it more respectable. That's what I'm talking about and that's why the teams that will not quit earn my respect, not these jokers in orange jerseys.
