Following Syracuse's 87-77 loss to North Carolina, Carmelo Anthony expressed his frustration with the program on social media. Anthony, a Syracuse legend and father of freshman guard Kiyan Anthony, commented with "SMFH" on an Instagram post. The Orange have struggled, losing five of their last six games, which has raised concerns.

Syracuse's current performance is a stark contrast to the team's past glory, especially considering Anthony's impact on the program. The team's struggles include poor free-throw shooting and low offensive rebounding. Coach Adrian Autry acknowledged the need for improvement. The university's investment in the program, including a new practice facility, adds to the pressure.

Kiyan Anthony's freshman season has been inconsistent. The team's record is currently 13-10 overall and 4-6 in the ACC. With challenging games ahead against Virginia, Duke, and North Carolina, Syracuse needs to improve quickly. The situation underscores the high expectations and the need for the team to perform better.
