You may recall the "old" days of this podcast that spent a ton of time being very off topic and not a lot of time talking about Syracuse. We hope it's matured since then, but that experience puts us in prime position to succeed in these times of no Orange sports for months now. Still, this episode discusses a lot of Syracuse... and beer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Syracuse Basketball Podcast signs off on 2019-20 with the inevitable news announced minutes before taping that Elijah Hughes would leave Syracuse for the NBA. In this uncertain coronavirus world, the NBA is on pause and college basketball cancelled Hughes' season instead of it ending on a loss.  The abrupt close was somewhat of a fitting ending for a player that arrived at Syracuse unable to play as a transfers as a team starving for offense still scrapped to the NCAA, somehow bowed out in round one a year later with Hughes, Tyus Battle and Oshae Brissett, then transitioned into one of the most turbulent season in Syracuse history while Hughes exceeded all expectations.  Bobby Manning looked back at Hughes' Syracuse career with Matthew Gutierrez and James Szuba, detailing the five things that stuck out about of the program's great players. Hughes doesn't leave alone. As a surge in transfers strikes college basketball, Jim Boeheim will lose more players than he ever has before. Is that an indictment on t

Syracuse played North Carolina as coronavirus concerns finally started really impacting U.S. sports. Early in the day, the NCAA declared that fans would not be in attendance of the upcoming tournament. Elsewhere, the NBA rapidly planned to go forward without fans until Rudy Gobert got diagnosed with coronavirus shortly after Syracuse took the court, triggering the NBA's suspension of the season.  Even after Syracuse played its best game all season, savoring whatever time it has left as a team with the ACC Tournament pulling the plug on fans before the NBA decision went down. The Orange are scheduled to play Louisville in the quarterfinals at 9 p.m. Along with that game, Bobby and James dug into a new Bourama Sidibe, the downfall of North Carolina after their long-standing dominance over Syracuse and what to expect from the Cardinals.

The Orange stood up from a potentially season-derailing loss to Louisville and this team proves what's been evident since ACC play began, they're right there among the top of the middling teams. Whatever that's worth, it makes it interesting enough to watch this group. Only now it's too late to even talk ourselves into an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. James Szuba and Bobby Manning try and fail in this edition of the Syracuse Basketball Podcast. That still doesn't mean the Orange aren't capable of pulling us back to the TV, with a stellar second half against Georgia Tech and a beatdown at Pittsburgh. Even Bourama Sidibe is joining the productive fold, filling the scoring gap Buddy Boeheim's struggles cast over the team.  North Carolina arrives for the Dome finale until the fall, starting a light finish to the regular season for the Orange on paper. They'll control their destiny for the five seed in the ACC Tournament, but whether due to the brand or Cole Anthony's return the Tarheels don't strike as a walkth

Call it a wrap. Syracuse's season officially went off the rails against Louisville in a blowout loss that capped the Orange's ability to build an at-large bid for March Madness. Elijah Hughes' incredible season and efforts through injury against Florida State and Louisville will only register as a blip in the program's history on the way to the NIT, unless they can pull off a stunning ACC Tournament victory. We aren't holding our breath anymore.  Three issues undermined this Syracuse season: aimless fouling, defensive rotations and rebounding. We dug into how all three led to a 1-5 stretch, and Jim Boeheim's epic rant against KenPom that was probably meant for NunesMagician. While the statistical hate didn't register with many, Boeheim hit on some valid points earlier in his Louisville presser. So we played agree/disagree, before previewing the Yellow Jackets' trip to Syracuse after allowing 97 points to the Orange in Atlanta. Don't count on that kind of game against streaking Georgia Tech.  We wrapped with
