    who is nervous for a true road game?

    Was at that game and we beat them like a drum. This team is playing better then they have in two months. Enjoy it and lets see if we can make a very deep run. I like Rock's play and DC getting some floor time. It is all coming together now just like JB wants it to.

    The timing of these articles are a joke

    This is the worst kept story of all time. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that the story was about to break about a big investigation, Coach was going to have to retire, Gross has asked him to step down Blah Blah Blah... I would be flying out west to watch the game for free. This is...

    Inspired...heading to NYC on a whim

    Get to the Rock early if you plan on eating. I have walked up to that bar and couldn't even get in on a big SU Night let along get something to eat. MSG is magic for SU. You will love it!!!! Great Choice

    Is MCW really still a lock to leave?

    I don't see him going. Not fast enough, strong enough, can't shoot and can not close a game running a team. He has a great upside. But comparing him to Dion it is night and day. Dion was ready he is not.

    Is it Time...

    Yes I do. I don't think his game is ready or more importantly, not strong enough, can not create his own shot and can not shoot. All thing I think he will gain with another year. When he goes and talks to JB at the end I think JB will tell him he isn't ready. JB will be truthful as he always is...

    The Downside

    The downside is MCW is a first year point guard and at times looks lost. James can not drive the ball to the basket or create his own shot. Our centers can not shoot the ball 4 ft from the basket. JB truly loves Brandon like a son and will not pull him out, dads some times make that mistake...

    Is it Time...

    Short answer is no he shouldn't. This group hasn't done what I think they should have done. But hell who am I other then a fan. MCW will be here next year with a new group of freshman plus the kid from Duke. We reload like always and see where it takes us. They could go far in the Big Dance and...

    What it came down to

    It is a hard place to play... (and make baskets)... It is where top 10 teams go to lose. This year has to be judged on what it does over the course of the year not game by game. They are too young for them to be judged game by game. I hate Pitt with every bone of my body. Shove, slap and scrap...

    Louisville thoughts

    Great Post!!! - Your comments about Triche and the ball are 110% dead on. I think he had one turnover for the game. He is money and they had to double team him in the second half. This team had a long road to travel this year and they took a big step this game for sure. But they could also lose...

    Are people on this board underestimating what we lose in terms of Dion's defense?

    For the limited time that it happened I thought that Dion and MCW were the best defense we had when they were in there together. I am sure JB would put me in the same status as everyone else that I don't know what I am talking about. I know I liked what I seen. Fast, Long and when they turned...

    The Upside

    Great post like always and says it all for me to. You have to have sadness to understand happiness. Sad that we lost but couldn't be happier for the best record in SU history. And to say your words again "we'll be good. Damn good." you got that right... Cya in the fall and look forward to your...

    My take on next year's squad

    Matt - Why don't you just wait till the big dance next year to comment. It is the only the real thing to look at per you. The Card's are still in the dance go comment on their site. Only one team get to end the dance not crying that is the way it is... This years team was the best ride in...

    Wisconsin brought their 'A' game

    Ya they played a GREAT game. Man we can take a punch and round house back.

    Would JB retire if we win it all?

    Boy I hope not I see 5 great years coming and I want him to be at the head of the bench.

    Long time lurker

    Great post this has been one hell of a year. We need to get use to being the lead dog in the pack... Everyone else has the same view of our tail section and we have clear view ahead. Let the big dogs run and let see where we go. 28-1 baby let go SU!!!!!

    JB not calm, team not calm

    He was setting them up for the rest of the season. They simply played like crap with the largest pile with Kris. As a senior he should know what to do on the court more then anyone of them. He didn't do that yesterday. But it is over and time to move on. They will be ok going forward. They had...

    Big stretch coming up for igor and bluecurtain...

    It is really hard to say how you would coach them so much better then JB when they haven't lost and are ranked #1. I am really happy with this team and think this is a very special year for them. It is like a great book you want to forward to the end to see what happens!!! These two just want a...

    Tulane Warm Up

    It must be hard to be so much better then your other high school team mates during practice. Then come to SU and everyone is better then you. It has to be a great help with your game but it must take time to get use to. These guys all have to go up against each other and JB said that he puts in...

    Great look at SU's substitution pattern by Luke Winn

    Who should start, who shouldn't is a very weak argument in my book. JB knows what he is going to get with his starting five. If he doesn't get what he thinks he should get then in the other players go in. Brandon and Waiters... ask any coach in college if they would want them on their team and...

    If YOU are an opposing coach...

    If you are asking what will happen if somebody attacks our defense perfectly, makes bunch of pin point passes without turning the ball over, hits shots, forces us to play half court defense, and is more efficient than us in the half court? The answer is, they will beat us. And that is definitely...

    My Take

    LOL Boeheim coaches scared... Blue you kill me... JB coaches like the HOF coach he is... scared of no one... period.

    POOR REBOUNDING--again: Fat Lady may not sing for 'Cuse

    I think you have to look at two games to see why JB is doing what they do. If you don't want to have SU dunking on you at the other end and having top ten plays on ESPN then you do what Florida did get back and do the best you can rebounding (We out rebounded them and didn't have that many fast...

    Absolute HOME RUN!

    To me JB was great and learned and grew from this. Thanks to his wife... My feelings are now LEAVE MY COACH ALONE. He has man'd up for what he said and time for him to get back to coaching. There are others in our town that are going to take care of the Bernie thing to what ever end it will be...

    The Upside

    First SWC75 great post... Post of the year so far for me. Was at the game and Florida has a stud for a coach. They are a run and gun, pressing team and did not do that. They are a high rebounding team and didn't do that they got guys back and gave up the rebound. He took the air out of the ball...

    Mike Waters to be on WFAN with Mike F 3:00

    Great interview!!!! Two smart guys breaking this down... Feel better today after that. JB should be here a while longer. PS kept their mouths shut on this JB didn't know in my book and Bernie and his wife are freaks.

    Here's my issue with JB...

    I hear what your saying but my take is that BF old JB that this was a BS story over money... JB took the bait and ran with it... I don't fault JB for that over a 50 friendship... But the game has changed.

    Boeheim

    JB has to figure out if he wants to continue coaching... If so he flushes BF... If not then stand by your man... I think he hits the handle...

    The Most Important Team Aspect: Is Mike Hopkins Safe?

    Ya get off the roof top... Unless it comes out that everyone on the coaching staff knew about this freak show at BF house. They are all safe in my book... But who knows anything is possible...

    You all are overreacting

    Best thread on JB today!!!! JB and SU have to flush this guy. It was a freak house and needs to go away. I can not think that JB would have said what he said knowing that BF and his wife were doing this stuff. He stood by his friend... His friend let him stand up for him knowing that he was...

    Boeheim needs a statement today...

    I agree with everything except the 2 year part. Once there is/if an arrest then JB can separate himself from BF. Don't have a problem with what JB has said or done to this point...

    My Jonny Dawkins story

    Great story. I hate Duke to... Coach Dawkins coached his butt off tonight and almost got the win. JB spent a lot of time with him after the game and if I had to guess he told him the same. I think he called TO in the right time to stop us from making a big run. I was thinking he was running the...

    I'm happy that Boeheim found the right mix on offense

    Matt good post I think JB line up will change with the team that we face. This is where our strength truly is and were still learning how the mix is. We played our first ok team tonight were just getting started. JB rode the horse that was doing the best but I wouldn't be surprised if it...

    Ultimately, Where is The Bernie Fine Case Heading?

    It going to take a long time. The only way that i see this going away quicker is BF lawyers hire a PI and dig into these guys background and find out that they made it up all along. All they got last time was a back handed slap and BF just went on with his life. Now it has changed a lot. The...
