Things have been on the downslope recently for Syracuse and the numbers back that up.
Despite some initial promise, the 2015-2016 Syracuse Orange basketball season hasn't quite gone as well as it seemed it might. Some of that might have to do with Jim Boeheim's absence. Much of it probably has to do with the lack of big-man depth and over-reliance on three-pointers. Whatever the case, it's starting to feel a whole lot like last season when SU finished 18-13 and would have missed the NCAA Tournament had they been eligible.
In fact, it's really starting to feel as though we're in the midst of a pretty rough stretch for the program.
