Dixon was 15-6 against Boeheim and that included beating him three times in his final season, 2015-16.
Dixon vs Boeheim

Nobody was happier to see Dixon leave Pitt than Cuse fans.
Maybe the happiest fanbase to see any coach go.
Maybe the LA Rams fans will surpass if Shanahan spanks McVay again.
COnsidering Dixon had the highest winning percentage in big east history he did it to a lot of coaches.
He also was exceptionally good against Boeheim and his teams decimated that zone.
But But But Dixon didn't have an offensive strategy. They just played too slow and couldn't score.
Anyone that advocated for getting rid of Dixon should be publicly flogged in front of the Pete.
On the same Page…my post earlier
“ Have they named and shamed the “well heeled boosters” responsible for pressuring Barnes to make the half assed decision on Dixon yet? Halftime tonight might be a good time … actually a great time to do it 👍”
Doesn't matter. Boeheim was still more successful during that time.
NCAA Championship....multiple Final Fours, Elite Eights, etc....while Dixon was annually underachieving in the tournament.
I'm just saying....
Jim’s longevity and consistency are the keys to his legacy. If not for Carmelo, one of the best college players in recent memory, dropping in for one year were likely still talking about a guy without a ring. The zone was just utter hell to prep for come tournament time and they found a way to go on some long runs, but it’s tough to put him up on a level with the coaching blue bloods
But he did have him on his team and just a about every great team that wins championships has a great player .
Jamie was a great regular season coach and Pitts best HC in the modern era , but JB has accomplished more At Syracuse
Nope. Dixon perennially over-achieved in the regular season.
My point was that I don't think he under-achieved in the tournament. His regular season success was above his players' ability, his post season reflected his players' ability. The only "underacheiving" came from the minds of fans that didn't realize his teams weren't as talented as his regular season record led them to believe.
Along with the cuse, I was glad to see Dixon go too
Did it ever occur to you that Dixon might have overachieved during the regular season and that during the tournament the talent level caught up with him?
Anyone that understands basketball realizes this is what happened most years.
No......That's a nice spin that you all are trying to make, but with about 11 tournament appearances you just can't make that case.
Upsets are expected in the tournament and it goes both ways.
Regardless of seeding, the bottom line is that Dixon just wasn't a successful tournament coach.
