Leo Rautins.

He had 5 steals but that is because he kepps taking chances. 5 steals and 15 misses allowing scores.

You hit the nail on the proverbial head. Last year they were mediocre all year till the backs were against the wall. Then at the end of ACC play and the tourney they played with tremendous intensity and effort like their life depended upon it. Then they spent 9 months reading about how good they...

Exactly! It seems everyone just read the headline. If they read the entire transcript of what she said they'd realize it was one of the most intelligent analysis I have read in many, many years. She wanted him to go to Harvard.

I'm feeling like this: You better hope damn well you beat us this year because next year CUSE is kicking ass and taking names.

I agree with you. He often plays some point for his HS team. Tremendous handle, but he won't be playing there for SU.

They seem to expect the issue to be solved with his surgery. I hope so because I think Sidibe will be an extremely good player. Take a look at the very early season games. Tremendous athlete and skilled offensively.

I think you are mostly on the money. I would just say I think probably Bazley at 3 and Brissett at 4 instead of the other way around. I expect like you for Hughes to be used at the 2 and 3, especiall if Battle stays he may get most of his minutes at the 3.

I think his confidence has grown more than his ability. I think that was there from the start of the season, showed some of it in the very early games. . He was just tentative on offense. Became less tentative and voila.

BINGO!

RIP Pearl. Thanks for the memories. I am about to turn 55 years old and still some of the best memories/times in my life were time spent at MSG watching Pearl run roughshod in the Big East Tournament.

Johnny Jones is by far the worst coach in Power 5 conferences. Every time I have watched them play the last few years he's horrible.

Excellent post. I would add that this year has been one of far more parity and bubble teams resumes are not as good as past years. Few have as many good wins as SU. Wins against Duke at Duke and Texas A and M on neutral court are not something most bubble teams can boast of.

Have not been on the board for a while. Just moved to Jax, FL. I am guessing I may be too late but I'd love at least 2 and possibly as many as 5 tickets. (I will narrow it down once you let me know what is possible. Let me know if its possible and how to get $$ to you. If not, I'll try to see...

Could not agree more. People forget he is roughly the same age as Malachai Richardson. (born 12/95 vs. 1/96) after a year off from transfer continuing to work on his game and physically mature he will be a beast.

He is not as strong as Tyler Roberson. Tyler can take one dribble and barely touch JayVaughn Pinkston and sentd him flying halfway across the court.

I am very sorry to hear this. I, like Dan, am a huge SU fan but not an alum. I just joined this board last fall and I have been going through a difficult, depressing, and lonely time in my life. One of the few things I looked forward to every morning was the links Dan worked so hard in the wee...

No chance Buss transfers - he is a 21 year old freshman and would be a 23 year old sophomore by the time he was eligible if he did.

Little Rock, Arkansas - originally from Elmira, New York

Pretty Sure he said "my house"

When they start that Yankee crap with me I just let em know that we came down and kicked their butt once and we will do it again.

Absolutely, I unfortunately live in Little Rock, Arkansas at the moment and I can tell you that mentality is alive and well.

Bring them on. They are a great matchup for us - they can't shoot a lick (Ashley was by far their best midrange shooter.) and our less deep than we are. If we played AZ they would not score 50 points. They will take some more losses as soon as the other Pac 10 teams watch the Cal film. Cal...

Yes Ennis but especially Fair really needs a break - that is why he shot so poor - no legs. He really went after two rebounds late but before that he often was on weak side on defense bent over with hands on his knees.

See my new post - Ennis VS Marcus Smart - Everyone in the media had Smart and Appling written in Stone as AA PG. Its my opinion that Smart should not even be in the conversation but Shabazz Napier, Tyler Ennis, Nick Van Fleet and Appling all could make good cases. Also the media often does not...

The actual problem with Smart is that it is true that his shot has improved but it has not improved nearly as much as his confidence in his shot has improved which is a very bad combination.

Ok but it does not help him much and remember Ennis last 5 games included Duke, Pitt, and Miami. Pitt and Miami being among the best defenses in the country. Ennis 34 minutes, 43.7%FG, 40% 3pt., 76% FT, 3.3 Reb, 5.6 Assists, 2.3 Steals, 1.4 turnovers, 12.4 Pts. 9 shots a game, 21-0 team Smart...

I am tired of the over-hype of Marcus Smart. Because his body is NBA ready he may well be a great NBA player some day but lets look at the facts. When you do I believe he is at best the 5th best point guard in the country. (Ennis, Napier, Van Fleet, Appling in no order). Lets look at the last 5...

That was the most obvious but Parker actually did the same several times. Whether it was a foul on the last one with Rak or not he had already gotten away with it several times so he had it coming.

And several of the threes were very long and difficult threes. Also I guess everyone has someone on their roster averaging 2 points a game who can make 3 3's in the space of about 90 seconds under big game pressure like Thornton.

They did not just lose they were dominated but of course the are still #1 in RPI - absolutely ridiculous. Someone needs to explain to me how they could be ahead of an undefeated Cuse team that blew out a Villanova team they lost too. I am guessing 2 loss Villanova that beat them on a neutral...

And it drew one of the fouls that helped put Duke in foul trouble

But still behind Arizona - if memory serves we beat California - Ken your computer is broke. Also RPI is a joke - Kansas with 5 losses is first. Its nice to have a tough schedule but don't you have to actually win the games. Texas dominated them. They lost to Villanova and if memory serves we...

Nailed it on the head - expect the return to be similar - neither can guard the other well.

It was actually a retweet of what his wife had tweeted

It was actually Seth Greenberg's wife that tweeted that to him

Agreed - Ennis was getting severely hand-checked with two hands the entire game - not one call - so much for the new rules. Also when Parker put his elbow into Christmas for his 5th foul that was at least the third time he had done the same thing. Duke got some bad ones as well.

Often that condescension is well deserved

Now that Kansas has 5 losses including today's beat-down by Texas and we have beaten Duke I wonder if it might be possible that we are ranked ahead of them. Same with Michigan State in RPI. Exactly how is Villanova who we torched ranked ahead of us in RPI with two losses? #Ridiculous.

Silly Southerners - like I tell them here in Little Rock - We came down and kicked your ass once - don't make us do it again.

I loved Louie too - except when we were playing them - there were many times in the Garden when I thought the Johnnies had 6 guys on D

The worst offender of all time was Louie Carneseca - dude would have been inside three point line most of the game.

Kentucky should be on the bubble. I have no idea why their RPI and BPI are so high. They are 1-3 on the road with the lone win coming at Vanderbilt (losses at UNC, Arkansas and LSU so far). The best wins are home win vs. Louisville and Providence on a neutral court. They also beat Tennessee and...

Both Syracuse and Miami are 346 and 348 (out of 351) in possessions per game. The last three games each have been averaging about 58 possessions a game. Our current pts. per possession is 18th in the country at 1.134 and at 58 possessions would be 65 points if we can be that efficient against...

30 is definitely correct

Best is probably Stanford/Washington

Glad to hear it. As I posted previously I just had surgery for colon cancer August 23. Not sure exactly what type of cancer you were diagnosed with but if it's the same shoot me a private message and I'd be happy to give you the rundown on what to expect. GO ORANGE!

I had surgery August 23 for colon cancer. Feeling groovy now. Knock it out Iommi!

It indeed was that play that they gave him a turnover - ridiculous.

I Tweeted that info to Waters and now he has story up citing similar stat - not even a retweet http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2014/01/syracuse_remains_at_no_2_behin.html#incart_river
