    Didn't watch

    Same. Used to look forward to games, never missed one. I haven’t watch a game in several years. Sad. Still check in to see who won. Can’t believe they lost to Colgate two years in a row. Seriously having a hard time believing it. Coach is an icon that needs to be fired asap. Also sad.

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    Looks like Ben Stiller getting sweat on in a pick game from the movie along came polly - (somebody post a gif)

    Pay side

    Came here just to see if CuseHulk showed up. Disappointed.

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    Maybe optimistic thinking, but, like others have said, I also like the quick turnaround on the next visit - confirms to me that he's ready to make a decision.

    Tyus update

    Time is a flat circle

    Per Donna about Tyus

    Had to refresh my own memory on how the ignore function is switched on. I can't read another post wondering why a 20 year old might want to go home to be with his family while he makes the biggest decision of his life so far.

    Gmac

    Love GMAC - love him. However, if I’m the AD hiring from within, I’m hiring Red all day while also considering GMAC as an option if Red turned it down (he wouldn’t). If I’m doing a national search, Red still makes my list, GMAC does not.

    Class of 2019 G Quincy Guerrier (QB) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Love this kid - I could see Kentucky swooping in and stealing him though. Him lighting it up and getting drafted after 1 year at UK. Change my mind.

    Bazley Decommits

    I checked to see if it was April 1st - disheartened to see that it is not

    Okay, since we have already gone in this direction, is the program

    I would have said NO WAY prior to the season. Hindsight being what it is, I say we couldn't have done better. This team had no quit in it, fought for everything this year. Proud of every single one of them.

    UConn fires Kevin Ollie / hires Danny Hurley

    Good hire for UCONN - he's an actual basketball coach and not a washed former NBA player with zero coaching ability.

    JB on with Gottlieb at 3:15

    Gottlieb talked about how hard it is now to have any depth, young players play well for a year, then bounce. He was alluding to next year and trying to keep Battle and Brissett on the farm once they were able to draw some attention to themselves in the Tourney. JB was pretty quick to agree in...

    JB on with Gottlieb at 3:15

    Interesting take on players being committed to coming back another year

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

    He’ll be able to score at the ACC level - he can shoot. Scoring translates the easiest. It’s defending that I would be worried about.

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

    6’1 or 6’2” might be a little stretch, but, When I saw him that seemed about right - maybe 6 even. I haven’t poured his cereal in the morning like PhatOrange, but still. I think his problems are the following: 1)level of competition 2)scores 45 (but shoots it 50 times) 3)defending ACC guards...

    Class of 2017 PG Jordan Walker (NJ) Transfer from Seton Hall to Tulane

    He’s coming to Cuse - payback for Taurean. That’s where Griffin was when he wasn’t on the bench at Georgetown - whispering sweet nothings into his mother’s ear. JB doesn’t get mad, he gets even. Send one of his to the hospital and he’ll send one of yours to the morgue

    We got bullied a bit tonight...

    Probably gonna get excoriated for this but...Does anyone else hate when Moyer spazzes the f out when he dunks or blocks or something. Too much wild leg kicking. I hate when Draymond Green does it and I always wondered if I would hate it if a player on a team I liked did it. Turns out I hate it...

    A thought on Ewing G-town.

    My takeaway from this is that Ewing coached a pretty darn good game. I think Ewing will end up being pretty successful. They need to schedule a better out of conference instead of scrubs.

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

    I’ve seen him play. Watched him jack about 50 shots. Didn’t see many passes.

    Dear Kevin Ollie...

    Not giving Tyus Battle credit for a good game against you is just another reason why Ollie is just plain dumb. Battle's little brother just took a visit to UCONN, you think Gary Battle isn't reading that tweet like thinking to himself - "I see how it is, Ollie". Gary Battle, my favorite Cuse...

    Dear Kevin Ollie...

    A tie. Clipped to nothing... you can't make this stuff up
  22. CraigForth

    That was an historically bad UCONN team...

    All I needed to see to know that Kevin Ollie is way over his skis was to see him wearing a tie clip improperly. After seeing that...wasn't surprised he ran his offense through his least talented players and couldn't make the in-game adjustment to defend layups, let alone make us pay for Frank...

    Great game Matt Moyer

    Such an impressive performance, that game alone proves my doubts about him wrong. Loved that he seemed like a big fan of the program, but, just kind of thought he would never be a great player, just thought his ceiling was that of a good solid player - which is totally fine. If last night was...

    Old Frank

    Frank was unbelievably bad - like, as in, difficult to believe, bad. JB could have put HW in but decided not to. I found that to be kind of encouraging in a weird way. Frank has played really well this year so far, aside from this game, and he has proven in the past to be a player that needs to...

    UConn - What a Surprise

    Going to the Columbia - UAlbany game tomorrow. Haven't seen Columbia play yet this year, looking forward to laughing at UCONN's expense once I have.

    Battle. Our best player since...

    Battle has the ability to score way more than he does, he defers and tries to get his teammates involved. I think Battle is significantly better - or at least has significantly higher upside. I can't knock Gbinije, he was a great college player.

    Jordan Tucker to transfer to Butler

    I'm really not misunderstanding the entire point - people are saying Tucker sucks. He doesn't. If you sleep better at night saying you're glad Tucker and Quade went elsewhere than more power to you I guess. I'll be over here in reality. Duke is loaded with talent and K plays a shorter lineup...

    Jordan Tucker to transfer to Butler

    You’re playing yourself if you think Moyer is better than Jordan Tucker. It ain’t close. I’m not shocked he isn’t getting run at Duke, they are stacked and K has a notoriously short bench. Tucker would be starting here without question.

    Dolezaj , filling the stat sheets

    Marek is a zone buster, so good in the high post, makes the right passes. I can’t wait for Duke to try and zone us.

    This is embarrassing

    What would you expect from an athletic department that didn’t think it was worth it to stream the “fan appreciation” scrimmage.

    Your Official, Absurdly Early Posted SU-Southern New Hampshire Game Thread

    Good thing they had orange madness to iron out all these technical issues... oh wait, nevermind.

    Frank Howard

    If Frank somehow turns the corner and PC figures out how to be 7'2", then I think this could be an interesting team. I am however, bracing for a trip to the NIT.

    You’re right, just the past 3 or 4 classes

    Class of 2019 PG Jalen Lecque (NY/Brewster) to NBA

    Predictable after goodine. Might have been hard no matter what.

    Who cares? When this team is in the bottom 3rd of the ACC this year I guess we’ll find out who cares

    Orange Madness

    If a young emcee is lit, but the event is not streamed, does he ever become a star? Age old question/asking for a friend

    Media Day

    "Oh and did I mention that anytime the opponent hedges hard on the pick, our guards will then look absolutely bewildered, dribble around until the shot clock gets perilously close to expiring and then pass to a non shooting forward"

    Class of 2018 C Majur Majak (NJ) to St Peters

    I won't criticize too harshly here because 2018 recruiting has restored my faith. He certainly looks a lot like Chukwu to me, but, with his length - if he can put himself in the right position defensively - and knows how to play like he is 7'1" then I can see the upside. A project I'm sure. I'll...

    2nd rate city. Honestly hard to believe.

    Class of 2019 SG Khalif Battle (NJ)

    This was why I was caught off guard with the Goodine, out of nowhere commitment and didn't understand the Hughes transfer. Seems to put us in a bad place for Battle or future guards in general. Also, before anyone takes a jab at me that I'm complaining that the coaches don't know what they're...
