Syracuse men’s basketball: packing the Jim Boeheim 1⁄4 zip tracker away

Now that Jim Boeheim has retired as Syracuse Orange head coach, we can wrap up some of our #fashionanalytics.

We’ll start casually and present the final Jim Boeheim ¹⁄₄ Zip Tracker for the 2022-23 season. Yesterday Jim told Dan Patrick that during the “....four-game losing streak I didn’t coach well and we didn’t play well. It just didn’t feel good, didn’t feel like I was doing what we needed.” He could have been referring to his choice of sideline attire because this is what he went with:

• Duke- Blue Script
• Clemson- Grey Block S
• Pitt- Grey Script
• Georgia Tech- White Block S

Unfortunate choices for those first three games and by the time he went back to the winning look of the White Block S, it had lost some mojo.

If you’re still reading you probably wonder what the all-time number show....well you know we wouldn’t hold out on you. In a surprising twist, the Blue Block S was the clear leader and it’s a shame that script hasn’t led to more wins when we all agree that it’s the best look.

Our advice to Adrian Autry is to make sure you pay attention to the statistics and consider breaking back that 2003 logo a bit more in 2023-24.
