    Have any of you been tested yet? Anyone test positive?

    i'm not being facetious or trying to be funny with this question. I am high risk (over 70 with underlying conditions). What about golf? I usually play solo and am out in the open air. Need some exercise and get out of the house,

    So how does JB fix this?

    Everyone is saying how badly we need Frank. And certainly that wouldn't hurt but...that is not the 2 games I watched. Someone told OB that he could and should shoot 3s. Wrong. At one point he was 2\9. Ugh. He needs to get in the paint and drive and rebound. He was our double/double machine last...

    Class of 2019 CG Joe Girard III (NY) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Having gone to Oklahoma U...let me think. There is the river bottom. The state is really flat. There's always the tornadoes. I never saw the waving wheat. The campus was interesting. The library is great. Fan spirit is phenomenal...especially for football. When I went there (40 some years ago)...

    Class of 2017 Hameir Wright (NY) to Washington

    I think this is all silly. Best of luck to Hop!! If JB can't close deals than I hope Hop can no matter where the recruit is. That's his job!! Hop bled Orange for many many years as both a player and a coach. For those who would be negative toward him...shame on you. I hope he has the best...

    Class of 2017 SG Chris Duarte (NY) to Oregon

    "We look for long athletic athletes that we hope turn into basketball players, while ND looks for skilled basketball players that may lack elite athleticism. When the types of athletes we get pan out, they are gone, because that is what the NBA is looking for." As I was watching the ND game I...

    Class of 2018 PG Malik Zachery (NY)

    Local kid. Looks really good. Need point production. Kid can shoot and score. Where's the offer. I know, wait until Prep school and see who else offers? Keep these kids home. Sorry but I am getting discouraged with the recruiting as, apparently, everyone else is.

    Class of 2017 SF Sidney Wilson (NY) to UConn

    And why should there be a mention. I don't see an offer up by SU. Yeah, yeah. Put our faith in the coaches. They are aware of everything and everybody. Heard it before. But where are they?

    JB's Presser after Pitt

    I think that this PC was golden. I don't often laugh when reviewing the PCs but on this occasion I had a ton of chuckles. JB was very obviously in a good mood and really lowered the boom on Bud. But it was the interplay that was totally humorous and un-Boeheim. Loved it.

    Ky Bowman

    Deep and heavy sigh. I know its apples and oranges but Wake beats up BC by 13 who beat us by 13 (could have been more really if it wasn't for garbage ball). Not looking pretty in the ACC this year.

    Im done folks

    I keep telling my son that I can't bear to watch this team anymore ... but I watch anyway at least until it becomes too painful for my delicate disposition. From the opening seconds we know what's going to happen the rest of the game ... but we watch anyway ... and hope and pray for a miracle...
  17. SkanSU

    Are there really still people optimistic about this season?

    It won't be this week. I watched both Miami and Pitt. If we can't beat BC then we are gonna be obliterated in both games. And just as an aside and in response to those who are saying this is a bad team I have to disagree. We have really good players who aren't playing well and who look like...

    Both looked as though they would take the tubes early. Both came back and the Ladies beating a #1 seed doing it!!! Men and Ladies in the E8!!! On to the F4 and NCs!!

    Of course SU didn't win the game...

    Gonzaga lost it. Can't SU get credit for anything. From Sporting News: Syracuse is that team you can root for or against, but you can’t go all-in either way. The Orange shouldn’t have made the tournament, but now they are “that” team that reeled off three tournament wins. Boeheim didn’t have a...

    OK. Good as place as any to write this, There is something screwy about us being first 4 out ... But. I know there are any number of teams that have beaten ranked teams. And I understand we have had some miserable games ... and some very close ones too. But how many teams being included already...

    Matthew Moyer, already my new favorite player

    Ken Burns would be proud of that one. BTW does anyone know whether Matt would have gotten a music schollie if he didn't get the obvious basketball schollie. What will be his course of study? Seems like a super nice kid.

    So GMAC and Red slide down a chair.

    Hmmmm... I know that JB is older than me an only slightly younger then dirt. Maybe like me he will think ... "This ain't so bad. No pressure. Golf anytime I want in the winter. Home with the kids ... maybe I'll retire afterall"... Naw. Me either. I still drag more poor old butt and substitute...

    The Upside (Wisconsin)

    (sigh) We got our butts kicked on the boards. Wisconsin is an awesome rebounding team... they just can't put it back in the basket. We shot miserably from the FT line. We had 2 freshmen who finally played like freshmen in one game. This is the problem with being "ranked". Expectations suddenly...

    Class of 2014 Goodluck okonoboh

    I agree with Brook re: Goodluck jumping ship when the writing is clearly on the wall with Zimmerman. If he has the potential to be NBA material he wouldn't want to sit behind someone for his tenure (or however Zimmerman is there - likely 1 year) at the school. I would find a school that provides...

    CBS top 25/ Cuse @ 13!

    Don't know what to say about this, except this: 1) The kids really deserve to be ranked: they played hard in the Bahamas ... so yay 2) I agree that we are overranked ... from 0 to 13!! Especially since our play against Elon, etc were not exactly picture perfect. 3) Hmmm... why is UConn still...
  31. SkanSU

    Do you take...

    2 different teams ... 2 different expectations. This year's team, to be honest, have had few expectations. Next year's team will have too many expectations (if almost everyone stays). This year's team is fun to watch ... I really enjoy watching them play their hearts out and it won't matter what...

    Also what is it going to do to KJ's confidence when he backs up Howard ... and we have noone to back him up??

    Huh???

    Ranked #18 now

    :crazy: Call me dumb as a rock but I looked at that and just don't get it ... period. Personally I would rather see SU (don't beat me) unranked and play like they have something to prove as they have been ... then we can say Ha Ha that's what you get for not ranking us. The true test isn't in...

    Kaleb

    Please don't abuse me on this. Last year JB was totally unhappy with Joseph and did not seem to waste any time in expressing that in his post game talks ... and KJ was absent all of last year. We gave him a ride b/c he was here post-ennis and should have had the pg tutelage. But now its a new...

    How about a little word for Coleman

    When Coleman is in the front court is so much better. I love Lydon but DC2 is so much bigger and stronger ... he negates those big front court teams. aTm did so much less it seemed when DC2 was in there while Tyler was getting pushed around out of position. We have such a good front court made...

    Just for wiw ... Todays game was really, really good. But yesterday's game was way more exciting imo

    Enjoy Tyler Lydon while we can

    Absolutely... I agree. We will miss the3s from G and the defense from both. I hate to think that we will be going backward on our outside shooting. Here's hoping that Howard and Battle have good shooting skills
  41. SkanSU

    Enjoy Tyler Lydon while we can

    Oops...forgot Howard and he will only improve. He has shown a lot ... passing, etc. His problem this year ... playing behind G and JB giving Joseph more and more rope ... I think Howard will do the jump over Joseph next year ... at this point in time.

    Give some love for Tyler Roberson

    This kid comes to play in the big time!!! I think his last 2 games were exceptional!! Not so much with the lesser teams. He's a man in there on the boards. Wow As I recall TR started slow last year as well Here's my LOVE for TR

    SU opens as a "pickem" vs. A&M

    After watching the Texas AM-Gonzaga game they can't have much in the tank either. That was a pretty intense game as well
  45. SkanSU

    My Take

    What was really, really great to see were the kids going at the basket rather than just pumping 3s. Gives us an entirely new dimension that defenses have to adjust.

    SU opens as a "pickem" vs. A&M

    My my... actually that's pretty good considering we are playing another "ranked" team. Maybe the books have decided we've blown our wad in the last 2 and have nothing left. That's OK... rater be the dog.

    Taurean Thompson

    After investing so much in DC2... physically and emotionally ... plus him being a local kid ... plus his injuries being incurred and repaired here ... there is no way he will get a "talk" ... and deservedly not. He is SU afterall and a kid who deserves every bit of consideration!! As far as...

    Enjoy Tyler Lydon while we can

    I love Lydon. He's an absolute surprise and an absolute stud in either the 4 or 5. And the box score has him down for only 1 block. I could have sworn he had more...but he played havoc with UConn drives and attempts. But like the NBA teams in the future are no longer going to forget about the...
