"We" are Indiana Hoosiers and their fans on an Indiana basketball message board, and "we" are fans of a team that has a legitimate chance to win a national championship this year.

If by "we are just getting started" you mean "with Duke over-hype", then I agree. But, the solution to that is...don't participate in Duke over-hype on this board. They are merely one of many teams that can go far this year.

(PS: Duke's best player has repeatedly tried to trip opposing players, and that's kinda pathetic.)

Gotta be tough developing players at Illinois when so many seem to have troubles with the law.  On the flip side, they get more used to wearing orange uniforms!  LOL

Syracuse basketball's 101 vacated wins will include memorable 2006 Big East title

Syracuse, N.Y. — The NCAA's order that Syracuse's men's basketball team must vacate 101 wins has cost the team every win in two different seasons and at least one Big East title, Syracuse.com has learned.

When the NCAA concluded its lengthy investigation into the Syracuse University athletics program in March of 2015, the Committee on Infractions levied several sanctions. One of those sanctions mandated that the university vacate 101 men's basketball wins that occurred in five different seasons and make note of them in published materials.

On Monday, an NCAA official confirmed Syracuse's win-loss records in each of those seasons.

It's the first time in the 19 months since the NCAA ruling there has been any indication of exactly which wins Syracuse vacated. The NCAA will not require SU to indicate the specific games that are being vacated, however it's now clear which wins are gone in 2005-06 and 2011-12.

The vacated wins include every one of Syracuse's 23 victories in the 2005-06 season, including the Big East Tournament championship. Syracuse went 23-12 that season, but the record will now be reflected as 0-12.

That means Syracuse's memorable run through the 2006 Big East Tournament is now wiped from the record books. The run punctuated the legend of Gerry McNamara as the then-senior led Syracuse to four consecutive wins in the Big East Tournament.

McNamara's game-winning 3-pointer against Cincinnati in the first round of that year's tournament led to Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim's famous post-game rant, which included the phrase "Not 10 (bleeping) games.''

Similarly, Syracuse will lose each of its 34 wins in the 2011-12 season. Syracuse went 34-3 that season, but the updated record will go down as 0-3.

Fab Melo sat out five of Syracuse's wins that season due to eligibility issues. With every win vacated from the 2011-12 season, this means that another ineligible SU player participated in those games.

Syracuse also must vacate 15 wins in the 2004-05 campaign, altering its record from 27-7 to 12-7. It's not known if Syracuse will lose its 2005 Big East Tournament championship. While Syracuse will vacate 22 wins, there are still 12 wins and the school is not required to indicate specifically which games are being vacated.

In the 2006-07 season, Syracuse went 24-11, but after vacating 22 wins, the
record is now 2-11.

In the fifth season included in the NCAA's report, Syracuse will lose seven wins in the 2010-11 season. Syracuse's 27-8 record that season will now be reported as 20-8.

The total of 101 vacated wins will not only be reflected in Syracuse's record book, but also in the career win total for SU coach Jim Boeheim. Boeheim will enter the 2016-17 season with 884 wins.

The 101 vacated wins will also affect Boeheim's records involving his position on historical win charts such as most 20-win seasons and wins at one school.

Syracuse isn't under any obligation to mention ineligible players in their media guides and notes. However, an ineligible player will have any records that he set removed from the school's record book.

In vacating a win, the Syracuse victory does not change the outcome for the game for the opponent. Neither is the opponent's win-loss record and winning percentage changed.

In addition, Syracuse's losses are not impacted.

With ACC media day set for Oct. 26, SU is expected to hand out its annual media guide. The University has declined several requests from syracuse.com to answer questions on how the penalties will be addressed in their publications.

SU's adjusted records

2004-05: 12-7 (27-7 previously, 15 vacated wins)
2005-06: 0-12 (23-12 previously, 23 vacated wins)
2006-07: 2-11 (24-11 previously, 22 vacated wins)
2010-11: 20-8 (27-8 previously, 7 vacated wins)
2011-12: 0-3 (34-3 previously, 34 vacated wins)
