This is a huge get. With or without Mali he'll make serious contributions, and in the event Mali leaves I think Gillon totally changes the expectations for next year

The person in charge of this broadcast needs to be fired. Literally the worst camera work I've ever seen in a basketball game

Did Roberson possibly get a concussion or is he just resting?

FWIW, I think MCW actually looked every bit the part as a freshman, just no way he was gonna play on that team. But yeah Malachi and Lydon both look legit. If Chuwku is for real then next year's team is gonna be scary.

"One of the best players in the NBA" is really pushing it

Isn't that exactly what SBU72 said? He got hurt but otherwise played well?

I honestly thought this was an April Fool's joke at first. I am in disbelief. First things first, I will root for Chris and I wish him all the best. But this is the hardest I've ever taken one of these decisions. I was really high on CM's potential for us next year and I thought it was an...

Great point! I've never thought of that before but it makes a lot of sense that would be the case. And of course best of luck to BJ! I will be pulling for him.

Maybe I'm a cyborg but I can't even fathom crying after a loss. Edit: Edit: Really, I think I'm just an eternal optimist when it comes to sports and fandom. Obviously I'm bummed out after a loss but mostly I'm just happy to watch the team play year after year. Every SU game is 2 hours I know I...

To be fair to Wright, IMO Nova was an incredibly weak 1 seed. I know they won a lot of games but everytime I watched them I came away unimpressed. Just not a super-talented team imo.

(1) I agree it is a total pipe-dream that MCW would pay their tuition. But still I'm curious... (2) How legal [in the eyes of the NCAA] would that be? Obviously it is totally normal for a successful older brother to pay the tuition of his younger brothers, but at the same time MCW is...

Flyyn seems like an odd player to use for this argument. When did he ever act like a punk?

There a rea lot of things I miss about Syracuse/the N-East----50 straight days of highs below 40° does not make the list! West Coast FTW!!

The 'uncle tom' comment obviously wasn't directed at Laetner but I believe he was explicity called a p**sy at one point lol

Says who? Can anyone confirm this?

I still contend Rak played really well in the 1st game-----just missed on a ton of good looks. I'll concede he was pretty underwhelming in the 2nd game.

That's what they should have done. Team A shoots on B's basket and vice versa. So basically the 'winner' of the game would actually lose and thus get the desirable bracket.

Wow. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/02/riverdale-smyrna-tanking-high-school

The array of moves/counter-moves Rak showed off in the post today was really something. He missed A TON of good looks. He was 5-17 from the field but he could have easily made about 15 of his FGA. Honestly, he looked kind of Hakeem-ish

I really liked what I saw from Patterson today. I don't see the Scoop comparison. Scoop had the ball on a string, that was probably his defining characteristic. Patterson doesn't handle it like that at all.

Either way, wouldn't it be Paul Harris? Edit: How depressing is that?

What would be the benefit of converting to a 'hard' roof?

Last year it was mandatory that Jerami Grant's father/uncle/brother be referenced at least 3x each broadcast.

I don't follow nhl/mbl and certainly never bet on them so I can't speak to that. I just referenced nfl because I think that's the realm of betting the average fan is most familiar with and the rule of hfa being worth 3 pts is pretty widely known.

Are they going to do away with the troughs? Personally, it's not like I ever really took issue with them but they just seem so incredibly outdated. I'm surprised they've lasted this long.

Impact of hca in cbb is more dynamic than other sports (especially compared to nfl). But as a general rule 4 pts is reasonable.

For what it's worth, Cooney really isn't THAT big. I think it's a mental issue.

Totally agree. While we're on the subject, two of my biggest pet peeves (mostly see these in NBA broadcasts): (1) Changing camera angles during live action. I hate it. Just hate it. We're all used to the standard/horizontal view of the court. When they randomly do some weird bird's eye view...

100% agree

I think Buss will really be this year's breakout player. I kind of had my doubts he would ever be a real rotation player here, but after seeing him a little in pre-season and last night, I think he will carve out a nice little niche for himself this year and going forward. Honestly there's a...

Question for those who have been a fan longer than me: Is Cooney the most dissected/discussed/polarizing player in SU history? Obviously the internet era plays a part in this, but off the top of my head only Paul Harris comes close.

The cornball look must be in vogue or something. I love it!

FYI the post you quoted is a Bill Cosby reference, not sure if you got that lol.

I kind of like that hat, but I am not exactly a fashionista lol

BTW, just a random observation: Kaleb is way bigger than I expected. I thought he was a Jonny Flynn type barely 6' pg. He looks like a legit 6'3'' imo.

I feel like the biggest idiot right now. I got my first roku player like 4 years ago, and this whole time I've been watching espn3-games on my tiny laptop instead of my 42' flatscreen. Last year my parents were visiting and all 3 of us watched an SU game huddled around my laptop lol. **facepalm**

Agreed. Roberson has always looked kind of tentative imo, especially shooting the ball. From the little I've seen, BJ seems like the type to let it fly regardless of whether his shots have been falling (might sound like a criticism but I think this is actually a very important/valuable...

Here is my [stupid] Kentucky conspiracy theory: Because they won the national championship 2-3 years ago with the A.D./MKG squad, they are now untouchable by the NCAA, or at least untouchable to the point that nothing will ever come out that would jeopardize the legitimacy of that championship...

Random question that will make me sound incredibly uninformed: When people in this thread are referencing $125, $150 season tickets, is that per game? per seat? for the whole season? I literally have no concept of the market value of SU tix, but considering the amount of silver I see every time...

Hit-and-run is bad enough. But if you flee the scene (leaving your car there, so it's not like you're even trying to avoid blame all together) and considering this happened at 2am you kinda have to assume drugs/alcohol were involved, ammiright?

I've had a roku for years (great product!)---how do you use it to watch SU games? Or are you saying you HAVE to have the Roku stick? Edit: is ESPN3 available through Roku? If it is, and I'm just finding this out now I think I might go put my head through a wall lol.

I wasn't aware of that, but that's awesome. Good stuff, Rak!

Also SS#, and bank pin # strictly for verification purposes

Do you guys think he has improved, or is this more so just a guy physically dominating overmatched opponents, or a combination of both? Obviously I'm hoping it's the former. If he could somehow have a Rick Jackson type senior year leap, that would be a godsend.

He undoubtedly has an NBA handle. And you're right. Do you remember that giant national campaign Nike ran for Mateen Cleaves? Oh wait...

FWIW, I know that when I was at Cuse (the late aughts) team managers used to check in on the players' classes to make sure they were attending. I don't know much more beyond that

Any chance he just tweaked an ankle or something?

Huh? This was good for the league in pretty much every way imaginable.

That's really great news. Kudos to Rak!
