    Not Delmar Berry. He made it.

    JB on Schein

    I agree. In fact the play in is stupid. For one why do we need 4 more teams. And two, it's BS to have a 16 seed have to play on Tuesday against a peer school and not have their day against the big boys during the opening round. Its just not the same to play on Tuesday. All bc 64 is not enough...

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    I disagree. I like bell in real time and upside, so this not knock on him, but JJ seems like a great teammate, great competitor, and really intent on getting better. Plus a pull up Mid range game is nice to have. If it's true we need to improve culture keeping him seems like table stakes.

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    I think all of this fair. I took your comment to suggest that red made a mistake in taking westry

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    I'm looking for the post where you said taking westry was a bad idea but can't seem to find it for some reason

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    That is incorrect. Unenforceable in CA and generally disfavored in many states but outside of CA it is not difficult to draft enforceable non competes.

    Players Returning Next Year

    Could not disagree more. They clearly to add a player or two - but I'd be thrilled to see the top 5 players return + westry + 2 freshmen.

    OT: Jim Boeheim threatens to punch Jay Williams over basketball opinion

    So after all of this...you agree that star female athletes' accomplishments are just as impressive and just as deserving of recognition as their male counterparts. Nice.

    OT: Jim Boeheim threatens to punch Jay Williams over basketball opinion

    So you don't contend that female athletes accomplishments are less impressive, just that they are less deserving of recognition. Got it. Makes complete sense.

    JJ just interviewed on The 315

    I think most can relate to finding that place, whether it's the last 3 holes of a match play golf match, the 3rd set of a local tennis league, or the last 5 minutes of hoops. Where you need to find a way.

    OT: Jim Boeheim threatens to punch Jay Williams over basketball opinion

    My goodness. If you are arguing that men's sports are more popular than women's sports I agree with you. If you are arguing that female athletes accomplishments are less impressive than their male counterparts, that is idiotic. Completely and utterly idiotic.

    What ACCT seed is "best" for Syracuse?

    Answer is 6 no doubt. I'd say chances of beating duke 5-10%, clemson 25-30%, and Virginia 45-50%.

    OT: Jim Boeheim threatens to punch Jay Williams over basketball opinion

    "many dispute the degree to which the contrast should play into Clark’s recognition." Here's a relevant point for you - anyone who thinks Clark or any female athlete deserves less recognition bc they are not as good as their male counterparts is an idiot.

    Red Season 1 Now a Bust

    You should read your post again and see if you think it "all goes together."

    Q-

    What's the confidence level he returns? Seems like great situation for him to do so but hard to say what $$ options are and Judah's post game comment about last dime game for a few guys seemingly refers to someone besides himself. Would be great to see JJ Q Westry Moore and Cuffe in backcourt...

    Red Season 1 Now a Bust

    It's hilarious that some fans apparently think they are doing their part to help the program by holding it to "high standards and expectations." On a fan message board no less. If you have optimism or look for bright spots in the midst of a crappy era for the program, you are soft and part of...

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    Didn't you also say that you're good if everyone transfers? I might be confusing Ithaca names. But whoever said it, not so much.

    Yes im doing this

    I wish it was reasonable to hope JT could regain his confidence and take open shots. Just last years version of JT would help this team so much.

    Mea Culpa

    I'd like to see a mea culpa from one of the folks who said there is one on the roster they care about returning. Not bloody likely.

    Good lord some of you are truly incapable of calling it a wrap and wishing Benny well on his journey. Too full of piss and vinegar to even turn it off. Crazy it's that hard not to be a whiny jerk

    BC Postgame Thoughts

    I was second row center court myself with my 17 year old son. Great fun. 1. Copeland was the best player for cuse last night. His value is easier to appreciate in person, especially up close when you can hear him conversing with teammates and refs ("I respect that"). But he's just a stud...

    NC State Postgame Thoughts

    Clearly mintz JJ Brown bell q and Benny are the top 6 if this team hits its ceiling.

    JJ Starling

    Impatient is fine but that ranks pretty far down the list of words I'd use to describe this fan base.

    Benny

    What a whiny petulant fan base we have. I can only imagine what it was like post uva game with all the dramatic proclamations and emotion driven personal shots.

    JJ’s comparison (he’s on our bench)

    Wow. Much different form.

    Hot take: Judah and JJ are too similar

    Agreed. We'll be glad to have JJ next year - and today was his best game - but there is little chance the two of them can form a top 10 backcourt. Too similar and they don't have the skillset to make the game easier for others. Would love to be wrong. I'm still excited for next year, I...

    Exciting win, but concerns

    This is all great. I've not seen the mid range game from JJ and his free throw stroke causes me concern as to whether it's there. And I'd quibble with the one glaring weakness comment, noting (1) yes a post up presence would be fantastic but it's kind of a dying art so the lack of it is not as...

    Exciting win, but concerns

    The early returns on this season have not been good. Man would love to be wrong but by the time they leave c'ville I expect this board will be unreadable and the ncaa tourney will be a pipe dream. I did not expect to think that. - JJ will be great to have next year to replace Judah bc...

    Is it time for the clapping until first bucket to die?

    Yes I'm sure there is one but I can't think of a more nonsensical tradition in all of sports. Not from a stupidity standpoint but from a strategic standpoint. It does little to nothing to help team and creates awkwardness and potentially tightness over time. The reverse (until opponent scores)...

    Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

    I agree. I don’t blame him a bit if he goes and will root for him his entire career regardless, but I don’t agree with many on this board that he’s clearly got an NBA future ahead of him. Succeeding at the guard position in the NBA must be the hardest thing in all of pro sports, or it seems...

    Hunter Dickinson

    Fair question and here is the answer - people care bc when they see new post(s) on a topic they’ll be inclined to check it out just in case there is something significant and when the new post is about wegmans or other white noise it is a waste of their time. And if you are a bit maniacal (like...

    Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

    Agreed. Whenever cuse has only had one good shooter it’s always seemed apparent that you cannot succeed that way, but after the last few years I’m ready to going back to being the biggest and most athletic team on the court first and foremost. It seems Taylor and/or Bell have opportunities...
