Postgame Thoughts... Duke ACCT

[OrangeXtreme]

We didn't quit.

 

[Trueblue25]

Good for the players. Infuriating though

 

[sdhall01]

Good game. We played with a lot of heart. If we get a CBI invitation, then we should decline it.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

At least it was fun, but so ends the nightmare season.

 

[NineOneSeven]

First off, hell of an effort by our short handed team. Incredible stuff out there.

We had the lead with 3' left and forced a Duke miss... if we just got that loose ball...

That said. Screw that flagrant foul call, and screw that Cole fourth foul more importantly. Absolutely garbage stuff, that DID impact this outcome.

Always sad for me when the season ends. I love this school so much.

 

[JDubbin]

Sad that the season is over, I love Syracuse hoops... ahhh crap. They played so well until the end, I enjoyed the game thoroughly even though we couldn't pull it out.

That loose ball would have been huge but kind of summed up the season, a near miss again. Still a good really effort for a severely undermanned team. This is definitely one of those what if seasons, so many games this team could and should have won.

they fought dammit. They don’t quit. They never did this season. They never looked like those cowards at FSU. I will always suppport this team and I feel like crap for not supporting them more during the dark times this season. Nothing but complete and total respect for all of them

I agree with everything you just wrote. throw in a non foul call for Jimmy that sent duke down the court late.

Heart! Sy! Played well as a team! F the officials!

 

[upperdeck]

too many marginal calls to overcome for a team that thin.. I mean how is duke able to be that physical all those plays and never get into the 1-1 again.. once the no call on jimmy happened it was over..

the swider push that took him out was followed by about 4 on DUke that never got called..

 

[samspann1]

Proud of the boys. Give it their all.

The ACC is a joke - if anyone says that the officiating was anything other than atrocious today, they’re either blind, an ACC toadie or a Duke or UConn fan

 

[NineOneSeven]

Even late in this one, as the theme was often this year, we just get rattled and sort of melt down. It's frustrating.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Hope JAB speaks his mind but in a nice way. Our guys played great and deserved better.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

We just didn’t make plays in the last couple minutes .. we got stagnant and made it easy for them. The 5 spot just killed us on O and D.. no Jesse is an insurmountable phenomenon

 

[tee1222]

Way to fight, gentlemen. So proud of these guys!

 

[SRHoo]

Your team fought like hell, and should hold their heads high…sucks that it ended that way. Not sure I’ve ever cheered that hard for an opposing ACC team.

But the league wasn’t going to let K go out like that.

I don’t think they did melt down, they played a great game till about 55 seconds left where Williams made a great play. Jimmy missed a good look at 3 and at that point you’re down 6 with 45 seconds left, desperation 3 wasn’t great but he was open and what else are you going to get? I think this was one of the few games where syracuse didn’t melt down lol that doesn’t mean you’re always going to win

 

[Chip]

Just an amazing effort.

I'm still pretty furious about that 4th foul on Swider. That point swing wasn't good.

So proud of our players, they tried to pick Buddy up and almost pulled it off.

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[hoopsupstate]

SU took Griffin and Keels out of the game. Roach was the difference. Hold Williams to 15. The couple minutes that Swider was out turned the game.

 

[Toga]

Great effort. Tremendous games for Boeheim and Torrence.

 

[FrancoPizza]

The Duke 3 with 55 seconds left happened because Sy was gassed and did not slide to cut off penetration.

 

[dasher]

Ellis just wrote that this is why Duke has a chance to be special? After this?
