Jim Boeheim says success measured by NCAA tourney, takes shot at Big Ten

For Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, the barometer of a conference's success is its record in the NCAA tournament: "You can say what you want about the Big Ten. They sucked in the tournament."

Get Cuse on the OOC schedule so we can beat that *** again

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Another classic, bitter jimmy boeheim WHINE…where just had losing season (with both of his sons on the roster ), and is having a hard time accepting that he is past his prime as his progrsm , both in the ACC and in eastern basketball

 

[Westcoast]

Well, we have sucked in the tournament. That much is true.

He is not wrong. The BIG has come up small in the tourney. As we all know, winning cures a lot of wrongs.

He’s wrong when he says all the BIG wins were in their league. That was the ACC’s problem prior to the tourney - not the BIG’s (ironically).

 

[shields]

Time to retire Jim.

 

[JayDogSmooth]

He’s right
But he’s a dick

What’s surprising is he’s not held in the same regard as Joe Pa

Wins stripped, child rapist on staff, and… still coaching

Typical hypocrisity by the NCAA

He’s not right. He’s a cry baby about Cuse not making the tourney. It’s untrue that the BIG got teams into the field simply by beating each other. That’s how we got in but that worked only because other BIG teams did well against other conferences, especially the ACC.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Jimmy is a bitter old man. His bitterness started when his school left for the ACC.
Where Jimmy is subconsciously correct is that this conference needs to recruit athletes and it’s coaches need to play a style that’s more in tune with todays game.
This conference always has lots of good ncaa weekend 1 teams but rarely has any dominant final 4 type teams - which is a concern.
Its embarrassing for a conference not to have won a ncaa title since 2000 or whenever.
Maybe UCLA will do so when it joins !

B1G by and large sucked in the dance
Yes he’s pissed they didn’t get in
He’s always been a cry baby
He’s a top 10 coach of all time
But like Joe Pa, he harbored an animal
That to me supersedes any accomplishments on the court

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

It is strange that we do so well in the inter conference series and then underperform in NCAAs.

 

[mikebal9]

At the top, the ACC was better. I think that's obvious. So if you're only including the top 5 from each league in your analysis, I agree with him. But he conveniently ignored the absolute garbage throughout moat of the rest of his league.
Was the ACC also the best football league when Vlemson was winning NCs and the rest of the league was a dumpster fire?

 

[Russ Wood]

Well, we have sucked in the tournament. That much is true.

Exactly. As much as I can't stand him, Boeheim makes a good point.

Who is the last B1G team to win a MBB national championship?

Maryland? And they were in the ACC when they did that.

 

[Letitrip]

Well, we have sucked in the tournament. That much is true.

We did lose the ND game - but it was probably the best game of the whole tournament. A true college basketball classic.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

We did lose the ND game - but it was probably the best game of the whole tournament. A true college basketball classic.

We were playing 5 on 8 vs ND that game.

 

[Caliknight]

He sounds desperate for something.

Maybe because his team sucked he’s trying to claim that’s why.

16-17.

 

[shields]

16-17.

 

[Arizona Knight]

We did lose the ND game - but it was probably the best game of the whole tournament. A true college basketball classic.

I wish I could rewatch it. Too soon though.

 

[Joey Bags]

This is the kind of banter you get when you hire Bernie Sanders as your basketball coach

 

[Rufaninga]

Well, we have sucked in the tournament. That much is true.

Agree, but cannot "like" your comment

 

[runova09]

He lost his best player which is his son Buddy. That tells you how far they fallen off in talent... Dude's irrelevant

Btw...is buddy his nickname or real name?

Buddy Boeheim...yikes...

Maryland? And they were in the ACC when they did that.

What point does that make? That the BIG teams have choked under pressure when games mattered most? Or that BIG performance in the tournament proves the conference is overrated and being inflated by beating each other? He’s implying the latter and that part just is not true. The BIG teams in the field had good non-conference wins on their resumes. The ACC teams did not. None of them did outside of Duke.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

did wisconsin win or did they lose in the finals

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

The word “class” has never been used to describe Boeheim

this is why

 

[ScarletR30]

Boheim killed a guy. That’s all I need to know

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Remind me...?

Tragic accident. He was speeding, but even if he wasn't it may not have made a difference.

[rureadyforsomefootball]

The Syracuse Athletic Department, all their fans and Jim Boeheim wish they could get into the Big Ten.

And since they try like hell to convince people they are NYC's team, lmfao, they can't understand how a school from Jersey got the spot in The Big Ten.

Thank you

Syracuse will get a nice taste of the Big Ten when they get humiliated in Champaign this year.

The kind of game I'll be rooting for Illinois almost as hard as I root for Rutgers

Hes right the B1G sux in the tourney they do not deserve 8 or 9 teams maybe 4 or 5

 

[RUInsanityToo]

Hes right the B1G sux in the tourney they do not deserve 8 or 9 teams maybe 4 or 5

So your feeling is that they should throw out any rankings and just base future tourney bids on previous years one and done tourney performance. Why even play the season?
