    Our crying need. A true center!

    With Duke signing two centers, will seven footer Christian Reeves be looking to portal?

    2023-24 Portal Options

    No rush, portal is only half full, if that. Whole lot of decent players waiting on their teams to finish postseason play before entering the portal. I'd imagine there will be plenty of former top 100 recruits looking for greener pastures.

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    Danny and the Miracles or Jimmy V's chips are fake news. We all been brainwashed. Analytics said there were was no way they could win. After all... numbers don't lie, eyes do.

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    Why even watch the games? You're #s and stats should already tell you the outcomes. Wait, numbers don't tell the whole story and anything can happen? You don't say! Ok, I'll go back to the hidden board now. The brass don't like when I stray over here.

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    You were adamant that they only shot from a foot deeper and not way back or from any logos as I suggested. You then contradict yourself and say some do shoot from way back. So, thanks for playing and do learn to keep your stories straight Mr Numbers.

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    Lol, you discredited your own premise by admitting that percentages are the same and they are just as efficient from way deep. That should be the end of the conversation, but you'll continue to go all in. So, I'll add that you forgot all the other aspects of what happens when the zone is...

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    So according to some #'s......Today's shooters, who shoot from way deeper than back in the day, are just as efficient as their predecessors? And same poster believes that has no effect on the zone? Am I understanding that correctly? I love when people debunk their own theories, then...

    RIP 2-3 zone?

    Zone was broken when the arc moved back. That change opened up many passing lanes that were not there before when all five of our defenders were packed inside a tiny arc. So many more angles available to drive to the hole, more backdoor cuts opening up. Also more teams are employing more...

    Jim Boeheim Appreciation thread.

    Syracuse Basketball was, is and will continue to be the biggest thing in the City of Syracuse. The city bleeds Orange. That would not be the case if not for JB.

    Moore

    Moore staying Cuse probably depends on if he had already signed his NIL contract/deal with Weistman.

    Would "any" zone defense work today?

    The three point line being moved back and Steph Curry are what broke the zone. It just creates too much open space and too much ground to cover. Can't pack the whole zone inside the arc like in the old days. As everyone is forced to extend further out to defend their area in the zone, passing...

    Joe got his post game pizza

    Johnny's behind Peter's was the best. Mario and Salvos is basically Pavones. Both worked there for a long time before opening their joint. Hot take... The Sicilian pie from either, is better than their New York style.

    Kadary smiled yet in Indy?

    Can't remember the last lead guard who was able to bring the ball up against pressure D and not ever have to turn their back or use their rear end to get past the guy or the ball over half court as Kadary is able to to do. Every team that has tried has laid off after a few attempts to pressure...

    What’s remarkable about today was how many

    First time all season we made a team continually pay for playing overly aggressive defense against us. We constantly got them on our hip or by them, forcing someone to slide, which opened someone else up for a shot or forced another slide and recovery if we passed again. Which we did. Often. Was...

    Hard to ever know being others did not get much of an opportunity, but yeah, still a big "if".

    Just awkward watching JB's worst tendencies

    In my eyes, he seems to be a much better shooter when spotting up, kick outs or anytime he is going forward and not off some curl or pic play where he is trying to find the rim while in mid air.

    Postgame thoughts..

    Today's game is a game where tempo should be pushed at all opportunities and a chance to get subs some valuable time due to players getting winded. Then start riding the hot hand if there is one and rotate the others. They would be forced to use their bench for breathers as well, and it was...

    Postgame thoughts..

    Girard played okay, his steals and ensuing free throws in the second half won the game along with Quincy. Is it me or does Joe look bloated or like he is retaining water? Is there such a thing as "chubby" shoulders?

    I didn't pay attention to it too much, but noticed a few former players from different eras were posting comments on the live stream. Saw Etan and Reafsnyder along with a few walkons posting comments.

    From What I Saw Of Goodine

    Times have changed. Use to play patsys and have opportunities for freshman to develop and carve out a possible role before league play starts. That's no longer the case. If you play other top programs and lose 3-4 games early in the season as we did, you're behind the 8-ball and then forced to...

    Washington and Carey in the portal

    Goodine looked like he could of been a shorter version of Silent G. Was hoping/thinking he could make similar kind of progressions here on the hill and be a major contributor as an upperclassman. Sucks to see him go, but best of luck to him.

    Washington and Carey in the portal

    Need to develop kids and make them feel like they're part of the team. Give them opportunities to contribute and see that there is a possible path to more playing time. If kids are given a chance to feel they contributed, they may just hang around and develop instead of bolting for possible...

    Would like to see us open with a full court press.

    I'd like to see a press out of a time out here and there, or maybe even take a step further and do it after the first made basket coming after a pause in the game. When it is a live ball inbound, and not a dead ball one. Utilize the element of surprise and not give them the chance to get...

    SU defense vs passes to baseline player

    New 3 point line and everybody thinking they can be the next Steph Curry has extended the zone and opened up more passing lanes and open spaces in the zone. Along with our forwards playing further up the court in an effort to make up for our slow gurads. The forwards also dont seem to be...

    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

    Yup, also seems like he's saying his skills will get him to the league and that he doesn't need to go to one of the those schools to make it to the next level. Love the confidence this kid has.

    Those inbounds plays

    I understand that, and didn't say he was. Was just stating what cokamainy play I might have ran, and that I'm no expert.

    Those inbounds plays

    On the final inbound, they should of put Edwards by the rim and had Hughes, Girrard and Buddy start in the backcourt where they could get their momentum going forward upon the whistle blowing. I'd rather see a 40-50 footer with momentum going forward, than a fade away 35 footer. Or could have...

    This team is historically awful on offense...

    They need to get out and run. This is not a team that is suited to slug it out in a half court game all game long. Push at every opportunity, even on made baskets by our opponent. Back to the runnin' days of the late 80's and early 90's. Utilize our youth and slender frames to wear down the...

    And there you go...

    Hope Carey sticks around and carves out a role for himself, but I honestly dont see him staying past this season. The writing is on the wall, JG3 has passed him in the pecking order and is most likely not going to relinquish the starting PG spot. Joe seems to have a much better feel for the game...
  43. B

    And there you go...

    Looked like Carey was not even allowed in JB's dog house and had to stay the night outside, as it was interesting to see that he wasn't sat down next to a coach. Usually the one starter every season that gets the quick hook is at least sat next to an assistant, being coached and coddled.

    OT: best burger in Syracuse area...

    Bit of a drive from the Cuse(20-30 minutes), but Madison Bistro in Wampsville is pretty darn good. It's right across from the Madison County courthouse. They took 3rd place for best burger in that same competition that Ale and Angus won. Recently, they also won some award for best steak in NY...
