    The Downside- Va Tech

    The point guard play has got to be better and be more consistent. I don't expect Gillon to average 11 assists per game, but having 5 to 8 assist games running the offense penetrating and finding open teammates would help. The ball didn't move tonight like it has in the last two games...

    BC Comes Here Jan. 14th...

    Sorry...my third sentence should have read "Stats may not tell the whole story of a game, but they can tell at least part of it." I was typing too fast.

    BC Comes Here Jan. 14th...

    BC shot 16 for 26 from 3...half of their points came on 3 point shots. I'm a 'stats guy.' Stats may not tell the whole story of a game, but it they can tell at least part of it. Another stat I pay attention to is rebounds. We out rebounded them by 5, but what stood out to me was our team...

    BC Comes Here Jan. 14th...

    ...let's hope the defense doesn't allow them to shoot 57.1% from the floor and 61.5% from 3-point land as they did today! You allow that you should lose. Coach said in his post game presser that defensively, the guards just aren't finding the shooters.

    Lowering The Basket In Women's Basketball?

    UConn coach Geno Auriemma brought this subject up a while ago. Now reigning WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne thinks lowering the rims would increase viewership of the women's game as it would increase dunking. Cast me in the category of this being a horrible idea. I grew up with female relatives...

    Arbs--Can we get an ACC Network Update?

    Another article on college sports media rights which includes the comment "it seems more likely any ACC Network will be a multi-platform arrangement." So if that's the case does that mean the ACC gets the $45M payout from ESPN...

    Hoop Teams From Same School That Made Final Four In The Same Year

    In NCAA Division 1, the times a school has sent both its men's and women's basketball to the Final Four in the same season are: Georgia, 1983 Connecticut 2004 Connecticut 2014 SYRACUSE 2016 Connecticut won both titles in 2004 and 2014. As a season ticket holder for both SU hoop teams, this...

    SU 89, Tennessee 67: Sun March 27, 3:30 PM ESPN

    For those of you who remember baseball player Delino DeShields, his daughter Diamond is Tennessee's best player and leading scorer.

    Arbs--Can we get an ACC Network Update?

    FWIW, here is a link to an article that states if ESPN doesn't offer the ACC a network by July 1, 2016, they owe the conference $45M. Within this article is a podcast of a Louisville Sports Live radio show that conducts an interview with Wes Durham of Raycom Sports. In the interview Durham...

    AWESOME!! Definitely a defining moment for the program!

    Tyler MF Roberson

    We need him to bring it every night. 20 rebounds, 12 off the offensive board. AWESOME. His timing is impeccable and he seems to sense where the ball is coming off the rim. The greatest offensive rebounder I've ever seen was the late Moses Malone. Not putting Tyler in that class (just yet)...

    In Case You Didn't Know This About Our Basketball Team...

    ...in overall team statistics (which includes stats from ALL 18 games our team has played so far), Syracuse is fifth in scoring offense in the ACC at 73.9 points per game. Defensively our team is fourth in scoring defense, giving up 55.9 points per contest, which means we're winning our games...

    The ACC At The Moment

    Virginia is 2-3 in the league. Pitt scores 41 points at Louisville last Thursday. That's low even for them. Clemson currently is sitting in second place in the conference at 5-1 and has a five game winning streak (beating Florida State, our Orange, Louisville, Duke, and Miami) after losing at...

    SU 91, Wake Forest 65: 1/17/16 Sunday 2:00

    GREAT JOB LADIES!! AWESOME PERFORMANCE! Both of our teams really laid the smack down in Winston-Salem this past weekend. I'd pay to see a 3-point shooting contest between Brianna Butler and Trevor Cooney! Rest up team, practice hard, don't disturb this groove you are in. Next stop South...

    Its sad for the women's basketball team could only draw about 400+---

    Great points CaliCuse. I couldn't agree more. I personally don't like the ACC's Sunday-Thursday game schedule for the women. 13 of SU's 16 ACC games this season follow this schedule. Sunday is the last day of the weekend and some people take that day to lay low and relax, some go to church...

    Let's Talk Women's Basketball History: The College Game

    I became a fan of SU Women's Basketball in the 1980-81 season. That season the team was one of 24 teams selected to play in "the tournament" who had hopes of winning the National Championship. "The tournament" however was not the NCAA tournament, but the AIAW tournament. As stated in the...

    Let's talk Women's Basketball History

    I forgot to mention there was a movie done on Immaculata. It's called "Mighty Macs," which was the team's nickname. I didn't get a chance to see it and I hope it is available somewhere.

    Let's talk Women's Basketball History

    Yes times have changed and for the better in my opinion! It would be remiss of me if I didn't mention Immaculata College. They were the first women's program to win the national championship in women's college basketball and they were so good they did it three consecutive seasons. They...

    Let's talk Women's Basketball History

    I fell in love with the sport of basketball when I was in the fifth grade, courtesy of the SU men's basketball team. The year was 1975, and the squad went to the program's first Final Four. I started playing basketball and begged my parents to buy me every book and magazine I saw on...

    #25 Coaches poll

    Thanks llandz. I'm trying to figure out the polls' logic and it just makes my brain hurt. We could win our next two games and drop out of the top 25.

    SU 86, Duke 50: Sun, Jan 3, 1:00 PM #200 for Q

    This is my third year being a season ticket holder for the women basketball team, and my first post on this forum. I've followed the program since the mid-1980s and I read this board daily. Congrats to Coach Hillsman on his 200th win, and to the coaching staff and the players on the great win...
