Dont ever mess with Chewy

[kcsu]

I knew he was gonna shine. So happy for him. Cant wait to see him next year. Lets hope that Sid gets better and we will be in the NC hunt next year.

DONT SLEEP ON CHEW!!

I don't think anyone anticipated Chukwu playing as well as he has to this point, and we have yet to see the finished product. Great job by this kid and the coaching staff.

Terrific game for Paschal tonight.
And he's doing that without fouling!!!

True. I guess we shouldn't have really judged him last year. He simply played too few minutes to evaluate him properly.

He has vastly improved from his play from early last season.

 

[pearl31]

even well into this year (even now, tonight, probably) plenty of geniuses saying he's a worthless cat rescuer. they know who they are, too

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Two more years for chewy two more years

I. Never said he was worthless actually he is a very very worthy cat rescuer and getting better by the minute as a basketball player

nothing but hilarity

After watching the Orange-White preseason scrimmage I really thought Sidibe was the better option and would be starting or at least playing the majority of minutes at the 5 by the time the conference schedule started. Paschal's improvement has been impressive

I guess we don’t need to bring in any past 6’10 good player we ever had to be our new big man coach after all.

tbone would disagree but we won, so we won't see him for a few days.

 

[longislandcuse]

Really impressed by PC. I've been thinking he's "ok" for Syracuse Center standards (which isn't very impressive), but now I'm thinking PC is just straight up good.

 

[OHIORANGES]

Biggest surprise of the year.
Very, very proud of this kid!

 

[pearl31]

basically, within the first 5 minutes, PC told Popovic "you're getting nothing in here". I've watched BC a few times this year and Popovic has been an effective inside presence for them - actually opening things up that much more for their 3 snipers... tonight they got absolutely nothing in there until late in the game when Robinson was going Kobe on us

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I find this thread funny.

 

[Brian Orange]

Hats off to the coaching staff.

ACC Statistics (includes OOC)
2nd in blocks at 3.11
doesn't qualify, but would be 3rd in FG%
19th in rebounding, (OB is third)
41st in steals? It happened.

That dunk brought down da house! I don’t know what it looked like on tv, but from my seat it was thunderous and the Dome exploded! I flashed back to Hakim Warrick for a sweet second. I swear that kid could cause more noise with his jams than any SU player I have ever seen.

A lot of fun! Whew!

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Now we have to get him that extra year he deserves after losing out last year to eye injury. Some folks on here said he may not want more than one more year. Would be good to know if that is the case.

Dunk really looked sweet, have to see it again.

Hats off to the coaching staff.

And to PC, who has worked extremely hard to earn the notoriety. (Note, this not a knock on the coaches, who have also obviously worked hard)

they had them ready

No doubting Sidibe can be good but we need him healthy. Possibly not playing tonight gives him a few more days rest. Definitely going to need him as we approach the big boy part of our schedule. Sidibe getting hurt may have benefited us a bit by forcing Chukwu to play without fouling and to stay on the floor for 30+ minutes. Then as you say, Paschal has really improved from where he was at the start of the year.

 

[Ragman2000]

He is also becoming a weapon at the FT line. I have more confidence in him at the line than Tyus right now.

 

[kcsu]

Chew couldn't see last year. A detached retina is blindness in that eye. He has had to learn to play with protective glasses. He has improved significantly since game one. His upside is significant.

As to Sid not to be a wet blanket but the staff should have shut him down before losing his RS. I dont think that he will get better without a long term rehabilitation protocol and yes im still extremely skeptical of our medical team.

Have at it.

Sid DID NOT want to redshirt.

End of story.
