Does not meet WP:NSEASONS and WP:NOTDIR as it is only statistics and lists of players, and is not a a national championship season at the top collegiate level or national championship season at a lower collegiate level. CodeLyoko talk  15:44, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per NSEASONS point #4: "For programs considered elite in a sport (for example, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, in men's basketball; Tennessee and UConn in women's basketball; Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC in football, etc.) many or all seasons might be notable regardless of the outcome". They aren't listed in the example, but Syracuse is a longtime basketball power, and this easily meets that point, without question. Not to mention it was Boeheim's second season, so his HoF career definitely justifies this article as a 'see more' point for his own article. Additionally it looks like there's broken code in the infobox that needs repair, as the 76–77 and 78–79 articles are blue in Template:Syracuse Orange men's basketball navbox, but not in the infobox for some reason.

 * It's because most basketball team infoboxes default to gender types, and at the time the team were the "Orangemen" as opposed to the latest one. Therefore, the successive links don't work. The 2004 renaming helped; those prior got redirects to fix the links.  Wylie pedia  @ 09:21, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. The team advanced to the NCAA tournament and compiled a 22–6 record. The team received abundant WP:SIGCOV in independent and reliable sources, easily surpassing the WP:GNG threshold. Here are a few examples:, , , , . Cbl62 (talk) 05:11, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:46, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article needs prose/references but the season meets WP:GNG. NOTCLEANUP applies. Rikster2 (talk) 16:06, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep; article needs expansion and sourcing, but the subject is clearly notable. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:22, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG, per above. Teams that reach the NCAA Tournament are generally presumed to be notable. The article needs work, not deletion. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 16:24, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, per all the above, plus the article is fairly new (around a month at time of nomination).  Wylie pedia  @ 09:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
