I realize your break is mostly referencing the quality of opponent, but do you think our players would only give 50% if they were to play a lower level opponent, or are they giving close to 100% every game, regardless of competition? Secondly, they get 1 WEEK off between games. You make it...

Laughable... you're fired up cuz we overcame a deficit to beat a Pitt squad of misfits who is essentially 3-33 over 2 ACC seasons. Really??? I'll give JB credit though - I saw his first halftime adjustment all year in guarding Pitt's 1 shooter I wonder what your post will be after tonights...

Poor coaching by Boeheim, yet again... Honestly, do you think that if Jimmy was coaching these UVa kids, that he'd be 27-2? Heck no. Jimmy would never develop these kids over the years. Yea, UVa shot lights out, but how many of their 3's were fairly wide open, or uncontested? Exactly... You...

In our last 6 games, we are averaging 9.0 apg... The WORST assist team in college hoops (Bing #352) is avg 9.4 apg. Even more astounding... in ONLY 4 (of our 25) games have we had >13 assists. There's over 140 teams who avg 14+ apg. This is just a street-ball team. Poor coaching all around...

SU deserves a ton of credit. On the road. Hostile environment. Playing against the Top 2 draft picks. Period. The perfect storm w/ SU clicking on 3's, contributions from 5 guys, solid rebounding, Buddy's banker, actually cracking 72+ pts, Duke missing all their 3's, the injury, and an 80-ft'er...

Uh ya... except you realize that we're a last-second-shot away from having lost to Gtown, Buffalo, and ODU at home, and mediocre Uconn and Oregon in NYC. But ya, BC is gonna BC... :rolleyes:

How bout Brockport, 10-0, being ranked #3 nationally, and the BEST rushing defense among all divisions of college f'ball... Giving up negative 2.8 ypg, and only 1 rushing TD all year. Stats - College Football DIII | NCAA.com Where's the love?

But Frank didn't sit last year... So this isn't apples to apples. Plus, just because other ppl like Hughes n Buddy scored, doesn't mean SU would've handed St. Rose the ball back in all those possessions, to come back to 42 pts; other SU players would've shot the ball, and Frank would've been in...

I go by the eye test... and seeing the last 5-6 quaters of play, our run def has been awful. No sugar coating it. Babers n co. needed this bye week to shore up this problem, for starters. Your OP is asserting that our scoring is so good, that we will win more... and now, you say that our...

Your post is nowhere apples-to-apples for comparison. First, this isn't a national title team, and second, McNabb n co. aren't running outta the tunnel. Neither the 96 nor 98 teams played such a weak schedule to open the year (#24UNC, @minn, and #10 Tenn, @#13Mich). Whereas, we've played some...

The problem is the defense!!!! How many times did Pitt run consecutive times up the middle and our D made no adjustments??? And our tackling and angles are horrendous at times. Comes back to coaching to a large degree

Cuse would have to be 7-0, or 0 chance of gameday. A loss to Clem would knock us off receiving votes or retaining very few. Wins over Pitt/NC (who are mediocre teams) don't do much to bolster one's resume for votes... At 6-1, I can see SU in the #28-30 range, and even that may be too high...

Happened to check where we ranked in team scoring... then wandered over to team kicking stats. According to ESPN, ALL of D-1 teams are a combined 286 out of 289 on FG attempts. That's right... 3 whole misses in all of D-1 fball thus far. Seems... uh... wrong? 2018 FBS (I-A) College Football Team...

Ahhhh... so you're the guy who runs up to the roulette table, and bets the house on black, when 10 reds were spun prior. Mystery solved.

when... exactly. Sure, he wouldve helped with giving a few breathers. He was serviceable, but even before MD, he wasn't a game-changer. The only way he could've helped is w/ JB running a 3 guard lineup (which I doubt JB would've used much)... whereby you keep GT on the wing and kick to him if a...

Let's be honest, having seen Thorpe play against lesser teams, he wouldve added little-to-no value to the ACC win total. He never really wowed me. His play wasn't demanding mins on the floor. His quick cameo v MD (the first real opp.) is a telling sign of what his ACC mins woulda been. He'd be...

The real problem is that the team plays streetball, showing zero resemblence of an offense. 0. Just look at our 3 assists last game. It's sad to think that passing the ball back n forth (as if they are merely playing catch around the key) is considered "offense" and then it's back to 1-on-1...

1989 Team easily... There would be no stopping Coleman/Owens/Thompson on the inside, alley-oops... nor stopping their up-tempo style of play. Yes, 2012 was outstanding and would have better overall outside shooting, but the overall team would not match up well with 1989. And I slightly hesitate...

We currently rank #336 out of #351 teams in 3-pt percentage. :vomit: How about some pump fakes, drives, pick 'n rolls instead. Something. Anything besides more 3s.

You have seen this teams half-court offense, right? All opposing D1 teams have to do is lock down Battle and it's pretty much over. D2 school did it pretty well yesterday. unless Thorpe can wake up, and brissett play lights out every game... I don't see a winning record, especially with a...

1. Regular Season Record 12-19 2. ACC Regular Season 5-13 3. ACC Tourney 0-1 4. Post Season Record n/a 5. Leading Scorer Battle 18.1 6. Leading Rebounder Brissett 6.8 7. Most minutes Battle 37.7 8. Most 3s Battle 70

With the current roster as is...I don't see where any scoring comes from outside of Battle n TT. Sorry to say, but it'll be a losing season. Literally, have ONE decent outside shooter in Battle. All teams have to do is pack in a zone on us. Gonna be some real ugly offense, especially considering...

...except Pearl, Addison, Sherm, Coleman, Seikaly, Owens, Thompson, Moten, Johnson, Autry etc won't be suiting up for us next season... Jimmy had the horses back then... didn't know what to do with it all. And, only 2 of those years did he even get past the Sweet 16. :rolleyes:

Lydon's a good kid, and wish him the best... but fully expect him to land in the D league or overseas... He may have the potential, like everyone else declaring, but from he's shown... often times he disappears on offense, and genuinely defers to others. He's not gonna demand the ball, or...

If SU lost to Uconn, got housed at home to SJU by 33, and could barely keep the game to a 15-pt thrashing @ BC while nearly giving up 100 pts, there are no games left on the schedule that SU has any hope of winning. We look like a pile of dog poo... we can all take off the orange shades. I'll...

Jimmy is a Carmelo short of being the most over-rated coach in college hoops history. The Dome brought in the top talent in the 80s and Jimmy has ridden those top recruits and wins all the way until the present, mostly underachieving with those 80s/90s talented teams. Most any coach could've...

Until Jimmy finds a way for this team to have an "inside game", we will struggle mightily against tough m2m defenses. SC wasn't that good, we made em look good. It was absolutely embarrassing the disparity of points in the paint vs. SC. We run the same stale half-court offense that is...

What's the reasoning to include Penn? Am I missing something... If Penn plays the 5th place team IN the ACC tourney, as is tweeted, how does the ACC tourney change the matchups? Instead of 1v4 and 2v3, now 6 teams are in? If Penn plays #5, then how would the top 4 be matched up to include a...

Stewart is a little too cocky and arrogant. I've heard through the grapevine from girls who went to CNS during her HS days she was just as cocky then. She guaranteed the title during interview on court literally minutes after winning their semi-final. I hope every SU player heard that. She needs...

If TR is our weakness (on the glass), then we're in for a looooooong day

No offense, but basically you're saying UNC is game-planning to do what they're built for, and do. every. single. game. I don't understand your comment that it's strength vs. strength? Isn't that what every college game is about. Unless you know of a coach that tells his team to utilize their...

Lady cuse are favored by 1.5

Convenient to exclude the 4 other Sweet 16 losses that Jimmy had... try 6-11 overall in Sweet 16. Fact.

DC is no AO. Unless DC is being guarded by severely under-sized bigs, or who have 0 talent, why on earth would we pass to him down low? He can't catch 1/2 the time, will get it stripped, or will completely miss the rim on a layup.

Then post some info to substantiate your brilliant remarks.

may have been wrong??? MAY??? Drink the JB Kool-aid much? I'd like to hear you or I speak about a kid like that to the media that and get away with it. You'd be tarred 'n feathered. So what has JB done in 40 years that any Joe Blow off the street couldn't have accomplished? Here are some...

What he does in the community is highly commendable, but doesn't excuse the fact the power has gone to his head because he's squatted on the job too many years and believes he can speak about anyone however he chooses -- without repercussions. If Roberson was any of your own kids you'd see JB in...

Your post is a joke... Classic case of having blinders on. He's in Hall of fame because he took a job at Syracuse whereby the carrier dome attracted all the top talent, whereby any coach off the street could've stayed as long as he has, and rack up wins. The kids came to play for the dome, and...

To the OP... look no further than Boeheim for the answer. All the talent/recruits that the Dome gave Jimmy in the late 80's and not a single 1 seed, nor anything beyond 1 Final Four (Coleman, Owens, Douglas, Thompson, etc), way more losses than should've ever happened back then, and numerous...

Solid win for our Tourney hopes... Do we have the potential to beat anyone? Absolutely... if we play like we did in Bahamas... if our 3's are falling, Lydon plays aggressive offense and goes for double figures, and TR continues to play aggressive on both ends. However, let's not get too...

There is no answer with this team, but Chino can't do any worse on defense... and considering on offense, DC has no moves, sets the irrelevant pick 'n roll and is never a threat on the roll... plus every game, DC finds ways to miss easy layups... so what are we really losing with Chino out...

No offense, but the 2-3 zone didn't win the game for us. Tyler Roberson carried the team to victory. Barring his near-heroic rebounding effort on the offensive end, and his kick-outs for 2nd chance 3's, we aren't remotely in a position to win. Great win on paper, nonetheless. However, we did...

... 15 minutes, 5 fouls

Love the kid's enthusiasm on the bench and always cheering the team on...With that said... he's one of the most over-hyped players ever to be named a McD's AA. Ever. Injury or not... his skill set is no different from Day 1 as a freshman. I equate his performance every game similar to playing...

Work of art? The zone with these crop of kids is an absolute joke. Might I add that St Johns followed their win over us with 22-pt loss to Incarnate Word, and then a 9-pt loss to NJIT.

Wait... you're saying we actually run an offense? We must be watching completely different games.

Undefeated? You make it sound like I'm asking Jimmy/SU to move mountains and play perfect. I'm calling out shortcomings that Jimmy needs to be accountable for, and clearly isn't. If you're a HOF coach, figure out what needs to be changed, otherwise history is doomed to repeat itself every game...
