    We Need a Star

    Legitimately thought he was joking making a super-player out of Kadary Richmond & Quadir Copeland.

    Mich St went 19-14???

    Stop being ridiculous. That would be James Madison, who went 31-3. Samford is no better than a 2 seed.

    JB on Schein

    I mean, does team 69 really have more room to complain? There's already plenty of mediocre teams in there. My vote is to scale it back to 64. Take 4 less at large teams and do away with this nonsense of the Tues/Wed "play in" games. "Yes, we won a play in game, and are now in the field of 64!!"...

    Rob Konrad v SUAD part one million

    Well, you've got my attention now!

    Nit is a very good and tough tournament.

    I definitely agree with a lot of what you say. I'll still watch them, but unfortunately it just doesn't carry that same sort of excitement that an NCAA tournament game does. It's a very frustrating time to be an SU fan. But like you, I think better days are on the horizon, provided we can keep...

    Complete Mismatch with Clemson

    I was beyond annoyed by that girl and the section, but I can't imagine they said..."OK, we need a bunch of idiots to make obnoxious screeching noises and call the ref "color blind" (how that even matters I still don't know), so that the broadcast is unwatchable."

    Simple old school ass-kickings are absolutely necessary...

    Aren't books the same topic? They tell a story. I could only imagine reading a 500 page book with no paragraphs. Give that author an award!

    Simple old school ass-kickings are absolutely necessary...

    A LOT of drinking and probably a few gummies too.

    Nit is a very good and tough tournament.

    For Syracuse - not respectable. We should be thinking NCAA tourney every season. I remember being upset we were "only" a 5 seed a few years. Now I'll take anything. The day I'm clamoring for an NIT bid, is the day SU hoops has truly fallen off the map. To say "Realistically the Nit champ is...

    Championship Week

    Couldn't agree more. The conference championship games of the 1 bid leagues are some of my favorite games to watch.

    Yasin Willis and Devin Grant

    You must have really been tossing them back, since it was/is Home Team Pub. ;) In all seriousness, that's really cool. Glad they are getting out and interacting with the community!

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    I agree with everything you stated. Yea, that 1983 class is pretty well known now. He certainly hit that one out of the park and things have been rolling ever since.
  13. Doc5120

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    Very well may not! I'd be curious what that last team lost, in terms of players. Maybe a lot of guys graduated and the cupboard was bare. Not like there was a portal and transfers were much less prevalent at that time. So maybe he was starting with leas. I'm heading out the door now or else I'd...

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    I didn't realize they were that good throughout the 60's. Just looked at their yearly W/L records now. Then it seems they took a tumble in the 70's but ended that decade relatively strong. K took them to heights not many teams have experienced.
  15. Doc5120

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    Incorrect. They didn't win until 1991. I dislike K as much as the next guy, but he absolutely built that program.

    Maliq on defense & his help

    I agree in that he has trouble guarding bigger, stronger guys around the hoop. But then again, so would most anyone. He also gets his hand on the ball more than any big guy I can ever recall. It's more that he's playing, and subsequently defending a position he normally would not. When he gets...

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    Z Sims with John Wallace is great. Z Sims on this team (in place of Judah), no way for me. People complain about Judah's shooting. Z certainly wasnt a great outside shooter (Georgia game notwithstanding), and that was from 19' 9". Great, great passer that was right for the 1996 team.
  18. Doc5120

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    I can't speak to what type of teammate he is, but I think when he's on the court, we're a better team, base don who we currently have. Maybe he's a headache in practice or not a good leader. That I don't know. But I'll take a guy with his talent. We just need more talent around him. Lack of...

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    And I want Syracuse to be as strong a team as possible. I'd wager EVERY kid on the team wants a big check. I suppose we should root for all of them to get that elsewhere and we can be even worse.
  20. Doc5120

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    He's tops in FTA & FTM, 5th in points, 2nd in steals, tied for 3rd in assists in a 15 team conference. He's also top 5 or whatever in FT attempted in the entire country. For a shooting deprived team, getting to the line is very important. If that isn't a good player, I'm not sure what is. Of...

    Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

    Why do you hope someone gives him a big check? I hope he's either here next season, or playing professionally in some regard. I know he gets a lot of crap here, but the kid is a very good player. I don't want to lose him to another college program. We need to keep our best & most talented...

    All we can say for sure is - it's different than what we've been trying!

    2024 Winter Workout

    Certainly your right to feel that way. But I'm not sure we can compare the tech industry to intense football workouts. I think the reason for no hands on hips, knees etc. is to make the guys feel the pain/discomfort and push through it. This way when game days come along, everything seems...

    Damien Alford in the portal as a Grad Transfer

    I'm so glad to hear this! I want our head coach to be clearly in charge, even a little feared, but well respected by all team members & staff. Everyone is not going to like you (Fran) all the time, and that's ok. He has to push these guys to get better and demand more out of them. Once they see...

    Spring Game Attendance Estimates

    If he thinks we'll get 40k (he doesn't) then he's probably not as smart as we all think he is. I'm sure people in the AD have discussed past spring game attendance with him and perhaps an attainable goal for 2024. He isn't walking in there, looking around and wondering why only 5-10k people are...

    Congratulations Dwight Freeney

    I'm slightly torn on this too. Hester was the best to ever do it, so I'm OK with him getting in. I'm also of the believe more kickers and punters should be in the HOF. If you're the best kicker of your generation, you're deserving. Sure, you're not impacting the game like a QB, RB, WR etc. et...

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    I was told after the WF game, Red told the team no more screwups. Benny didn't show to individual workout yesterday. Today - he gone.

    Hak too, right? I feel like he started and was out of the game 3-4 min later.

    Pitino is right

    I've noticed my level of interest (particularly in cbb) declining over the last 4-5 years. I used to watch as much cbb as possible, but the portal and bidding on players has lessened my interest. There's no loyalty to a school. I root for a kid 1 year and the next he's playing for Oregon. I'm...

    NLRB Dartmouth ruling

    That is absolutely absurd! 20 years ago, we paid $1,800 for a 2 story, 6 bedroom house in college, so $300/guy. Granted, it was Oswego, NY...but still. The numbers you're throwing out there are silly. And here I thought living off campus would be an affordable option for kids/parents. Slumlords...

    Pitino is right

    This is what sucks. No attachment to the player or University. There are pro sports for a reason.

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    Yes, just the bump. I haven't been that oblivious, thankfully! Well aware of the suspensions and the "Will Benny be in uniform?" before seemingly countless games.
  40. Doc5120

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    Yup. I probably turned it off too early. Shame on me as that was probably the most exciting moment from a Syracuse perspective.

    The Talk

    I don't disagree with that. I was taking your statement in a vacuum that 75% wasn't good, when by itself, it is. Certainly isn't good enough to have him on the court as much as we do, given his other shortcomings.

    Wake Forest Predictions...

    Chris Paul: 73 Chris Bell: 74
  44. Doc5120

    The Talk

    75% at the FT line is pretty darn good. With Bell that is the least of my concerns. He quite literally doesn't rebound, cannot play defense and is unable to create his own shot. His shooting is the 1 skill he has.
  45. Doc5120

    Seriously, what's with our fast break?

    My son's 2nd-4th grade team has the same problem. :cool: I figure by college kids start to get the hang of it, or so I thought!
  46. Doc5120

    The Talk

    This seems a bit excessive to me. You have 10 guys who need replacing and only 1 for a good reason (Mintz to NBA/pros). Bell, Benny & Copeland do not need replacing. Copeland is a starter. Bell can be a great shooter. Benny we take the good with the bad. The expectation that we can and/or need...

    Not to derail this thread, but Ladd McConkey at 7?!? That seems way out of whack.
