Another Disappointment

Just when I thought this year’s SU team was different comes another letdown.

What started of as a promising season with wins over Florida and Kansas quickly became a painful reminder of the past two seasons.

Granted, the loss to Cleveland State was of the heart-breaking variety as CSU’s Cedric Jackson chucked up a 60-foot prayer with two seconds left that won the game for the Vikings.






But there’s no excuse for not pounding an inferior team, at home, during this pre-conference play lull.

SU now has a game against Canisius then a tough game against Memphis (in Memphis) looming on Saturday.

Let’s say they go into conference play with an 11-2 record.

If they finish 9-9 in the Big East (which could be a best-case scenario), that would make them 20-11.

Add another loss in the conference tournament and SU could once again find itself squarely on the bubble come March.

And I haven’t even mentioned that Eric Devendorf could get kicked out of school.
