Syracuse Basketball: Orange season will be defined by perseverance

The Syracuse basketball team couldn’t buy a basket in its 48-34 setback to No. 11 Virginia on Wednesday night in Central New York, and now a contingent of Orange fanatics are ready to declare the 2019-20 campaign as a disaster.

I can’t tell you the number of so-called fans who absolutely ripped the ‘Cuse to shreds after this dreadful shooting performance by Syracuse (0-1, 0-1), which amounted to the fewest points that the Orange has produced since before the Carrier Dome commenced operations in 1980.

Look, I get that some folks in ‘Cuse Nation are disappointed and frustrated.
