I'm finding myself becoming increasingly disinterested in games where previously I would plan my day around them. On Saturday I had to go out to run errands, where if I didn't do them during the day they wouldn't get done. 10 years ago it was impossible that I would miss any of the game and the errands would have to suck it. On Saturday I brought my iPad w me and streamed the game while driving around town lol. I pulled over and watched the dramatic final minutes in a bank parking lot in Liverpool lol.
Prior to a year or two ago there was zero chance I'd miss watching the game on my big screen. At this point I am so disillusioned by the program free fall, the abysmal recruiting, the 13+ loss seasons, the stale coach, the stupid 100% zone mentality, that I'm now at this point. I assure you that I've been a die hard since childhood. That's how bad things are with this program for me now.

I assure you that I've been a die hard since childhood. That's how bad things are with this program for me now. I still get excited for game day and want to watch, what I am noticing is that while I’m watching I don’t even care even a little bit. There are some players on the team who I just don’t like, reminds me of when Tanyon Sturtze would come into every other game for the Yankees and I just wanted him gone. We may be worse next year but I really don’t like Cole Swider and Joe Girard, I don’t root against them but I absolutely hate their demeanor on the court. When you’re 0-6 from the field and you make a shot you should make and run up the court all hyped up when your team is down you’re a joke. Joe has been doing well shooting but he’ll knock down a shot and then allow a guy to blow by him at the other end. Don’t roll with all that moxie and cockiness when your game is trash, you look dumb. Not sure of winning percentages of starting point guards for Syracuse but I’m guessing Joe is towards the bottom of the heap and he’s a massive part of that. Most unlikable squad I’ve ever seen here.

I watch but have become pretty apathetic and numb in general. It’s been a rough stretch of bizarre basketball for years. The Frank Howard led teams who were anemic offensively to now becoming a chucking 3 point team with subpar athletes who can’t defend. I don’t like this team at all with the roster construction and how poor they are in so many facets of the game…screening, rebounding, ballhandling, etc. The JB delusional pressers and radio shows over and over have also become tiring and embarrassing frankly. It’s becoming a chore now for me. I don’t like that.
I get excited of course when we do make the Tourney but I know these teams are very flawed and there is a bigger picture at play than an occasional squeak into the Tourney and win a game or two hoax.
I must say the last five years or so of this slop has been good for my bank account. MANY of these non-conference early games you can count on an opponent to at least cover.

With Brown and Cornell coming up, this is the first time in my like that I really don’t care and clearing my schedule to do whatever it takes to watch the game.

But that’s just because I’m home relaxing for the first time in days, and it’s supposed to start sleeting out so I’m content to just settle in, and we haven’t had a game in forever. I’m sure once the game gets going, I’ll be bored if it pretty quickly. Just started up “Yellowstone”! If the game sucks, I can look forward to a couple episodes tonight, at least.

I’ve been sick for three days so I’m watching and ordered pizza. It’s nice to watch basketball, but I hate this roster….

If Brown just pick up our guys up in transition then they will win this game. I’ve seen enough all year to realize that our best offense is just a launch from 3 in transition. Not overdribbling and trying to run competent halfcourt offense.
Brown needs to stop the silly mistakes. Should go down to the wire. Brown looks more athletic lol and that’s the sad reality we are in.

Brown obviously has set plays against the zone because the are missing the open guy in the corner every single time when running a play. This is the best our defense has looked in awhile and we’re up single digits against Brown in a game we should be up minimum 15 right now. Next year is going to be a disaster.

They are basically getting whatever they want and have received some beneficial calls like you said. Just really don’t like watching our squad. Limited off the bounce like Hancock said. Bunch of spot up shooters, no physicality, etc.

Our guards make Kihei Clark look like Patrick Beverly lol To be fair, the kid is a damn good college guard, put him on our team we probably have 2-3 more wins.
