They've lost two in a row, granted those were to Pitt and Villanova, the #2 and #8 teams respectively.

But now they are losing by 20 at home to Seton Hall.

Not playing good defense (zone's not active) + no chemistry on offense + getting killed on the offensive boards + Seton Hall hitting everything they throw up = embarrassing ass kicking at home.

Pitiful. That being said, better to have this fade now than heading into the NCAA's/in the NCAA's. They can right the ship and get back to their earlier form before it's too late.

Seton Hall with Hazell healthy is top 25 quality. Not that surprising they won, although the margin is.

Make that 4 straight losses as they fell at Marquette today by 6. They're reeling. Shit.

I picked Syracuse as my 'Team that would disappoint' before the season. I was shocked that they started off as well as they did, because I just don't think they're that good of a team.

A better effort today than against Seton Hall earlier in the week but still looking shaky in the halfcourt offense. Can't say it enough....even though the zone was more active today....they need to get more in transition.

If the slide continues....you'll look prophetic. If not, they'll be better than most thought and therefore not disappointing. They didn't start off the way they did by accident. They just need to regroup and find a spark.

I don't expect the slide to continue. They're better than I thought, but I still don't think they're nearly as good as 18-0 or whatever they started.

Looks like they have righted the ship.
