Did you say that after the Duke game?
Based on this season - Gillon doesn't start penetrating until the 2nd half
I forgot to mention that his 1 made 3-pointer was off the backboard. Without that and the nice pass from Gillon that set up one of his baskets, he has 2 points.1 true basket.9 points from 2,000 possessions.
Weigh his productivity/efficiency, factoring in his responsibility. He hasn't been good. I don't agree with 'bashing' him, but you can't really defend him either.
I thought we would shoot better than we have today. It hasn't happened.
If White doesn't get his mojo back, we are in deep trouble, and not just this game.ZERO points from Gillon and White -- not going to cut it against this caliber of opponent.
I'm getting really sick of all these "bad matchups" lately.This was one of the few games this year SU had little chance to win. Just a bad matchup on the road.
True. @Ville and @UNC are always are 2 toughest matchups of the year. Ville's defense's always get to us and we are never close to UNC on the boards - all of the other ACC teams we have more than a punchers againstThis was one of the few games this year SU had little chance to win. Just a bad matchup on the road.
I've seen a couple of open looks missed but lots of horrendous shots/forces/one-on-one garbage. Hopefully 2H will be different from a tactical standpoint. This team plays well in the 2H.
I'd say White has contracted Cooney late season Cooney disease but he's hardly taking nay shots. Teams are just denying him the ball with tight D and he doesn't move much to get the ball.If White doesn't get his mojo back, we are in deep trouble, and not just this game.
Pitino smells a #1 seed is in play...so he will press and run the score up as much as he can. We have problems with teams that play aggressive D. The turnovers today are atrocious.
My jaw dropped to the floor the first time I saw Lydon in that preseason tourney last season. Thought he would be a star. Sadly, he really hasn't progressed much at all and is still painfully shy - the most frustrating part.Is Lydon a scoring option? He can't create his own shot and scores on post moves 1/4 attempts right near the basket. He's a stretch 4 who's scared to shoot.
I'll retract my statement and say I'd rather have him back, yes that was hyperbole, but he's not that good.. Right now, hes a tall guy who can shoot.
I agree with that. But this team does not give up. It is hard to call it the most disappointing team ever.The Duke game was a Top 5 most exciting finish in SU history and we will never forget it, but it doesn't change the fact that this season has been truly awful.
I'm concerned that White has disappeared the past 3 games or so.
