The Syracuse Orange weren’t supposed to make the NCAA Tournament. They weren’t supposed to win one game. And they weren’t supposed to win two, either.
We’ve been here before. Inevitably the talk of “gravy” gets tossed around when looking at where we are, versus where we should be. And where we should be this year is an especially hard concept to pin down.
Going into the year, we had limited experience, little ability to shoot the basketball and a short rotation. That was amplified when Geno Thorpe exited the program.
