Duke Thoughts...

New Year's Eve hangover?

 

[Cuse181]

Once again, the only way Syracuse beats a team with any talent is if the other team misses open threes.

 

[UpstateSM]

We need to stop letting every loss turn into an embarrassment. It's killing our numbers and, like it or not, the numbers matter.

New Year's Eve hangover?

You mean Decade-long hangover ?

 

[Cuse House]

Vegas knows things.

 

[MikeSU02]

We’re an incomplete team for where Red wants to go.

We have some guys that really shouldn’t be getting PT.

But we’re 10-4 and still haven’t lost at home.

Onwards.

 

[djcon57]

Said it in the game thread. It’s the same game we’ve seen every time we’ve lost. It’s not a great sign as far as getting to the next level. Need to stay close to a good team eventually

 

[Cusefan0307]

Maliq Brown needs to have the ball more going forward.

Bottom line is we don't have enough offensive firepower to beat good teams. Moore and Freeman can’t get here soon enough.

 

[kingtidge]

It's ok.

We're supposed to lose to dook.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Can’t do much when they hit 7 threes in a row. Some good stuff first half from us.

We desperately need a big scalp win so a good record isn’t considered hollow. Hopefully UNC.

One page in and I already know this is going to be the best post in this thread.

Perspective needed here.

That was about as unpleasant as I expected. Good news is… I have a crockpot full of short ribs that have been cooking for six hours.

Yeah, the margin of losses will keep us out if we’re on the bubble. Computers lack context.

thats pretty much how anyone beats teams.. they get the same open 3s vs every other team too..
no one really defends the 3 any more..

I dont care how we defended the 3 it was all the bad passing inside and missed layups that hurt us..

 

[CuseTG2003]

Gritty first half. Very sloppy second half. I like our team and hate Duke and ESPN w/ tremendous passion.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Extremely, extremely frustrating. We absolutely killed ourselves in this game with self inflicted errors, many that led directly to Duke points especially 3s. It was very painful to watch.

As I said already, Bell and McLeod were as unproductive as I’ve ever seen 2 players. Killed us. And as good as Q has played, we saw the high risk side tonight.

Maliq was incredible. What a game.

Tiresome seeing these hard games go the same way and end in blowouts (0-4).

I’m ready to WIN one of these games, man.

Well, it's only downhill from here

 

[tptcuse]

There were some hopeful moments and then we always give up way too many big runs. The blowout losses are going to haunt us in March if we win the games we are capable of winning in the ACC.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Can we get Caitlin Clark to portal to us next year? She would start for us.

I'll add that Copeland has been terrific over a four to five game stretch, and he just didn't have it tonight. If he'd had 12 points (just for example) things might have unfolded differently. But he didn't, and it didn't..

 

[Lukeyloo]

A lot of forcing things on offense that led to a lot of turnovers. The whole team, sans Maliq, had the look of constantly playing out of control.

I think this team will fare well in conference this season, but they just don’t have what it takes against the best teams.

Our inability to get Tucker or Bell shots needs to improve.

 

[Bayside44]

I never complain about ESPN but the announcing crew, lack of replays on plays of interest and question, and their general who gives a damn about K and townies sitting in good seats was as bad as it gets.

And oh yeah we need 60% less turnovers

 

[BigNastyJon]

Maliq needs to play every minute until fouling out moving forward
