“I’m not about hyperbole, I’m not trying to ‘Skip-Bayless’ this, okay? But I’ve never been more upset with a Syracuse team than I am right now with this particular group.”

The dude on the radio last week had something of a point. Talking head or not, tiny-market radio or not, I found myself agreeing, even if just a little, that this SU squad, the one that was sitting just a few games above .500 in late January, was more maddening than any other that I could remember.

There was that ’96-97 team that was too young and inexperienced, led by freshman and the “leftovers” from the previous season’s run to the NCAA Tournament Final.
