For summer after summer, we’ve been tuning into The Basketball Tournament to see if Boeheim’s Army, the team initially comprised of Syracuse Orange men’s basketball alumni, could win it all. And for summer after summer, we — and the players — were disappointed.
That’s not a knock on the teams or the players on them. It just didn’t work out, as is the case with sports most of the time. And coupled with what’s been an an exhausting half-decade or so for SU hoops, it definitely got tougher and tougher to remain as invested watching the Orange alumni squad.
