    Generally when we're on the bubble...

    He's perfect for the tournament. If he continues the hot streak into the tourney and we make a little run, he's the type of player displaced fans of other teams can root for or hate on big time. Either way it's eyeballs.

    Can you believe this team went to the Final Four?

    Without looking I think Wiltjier put 33 on us. Edit: 23. I'm dumb.

    Movies to watch during lockdown?

    Jim Carrey, in one of my top 5 favorite movies ever, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    Movies to watch during lockdown?

    I bought Shea Serrano's book Movies (And Other Things) and I know his favorite movie is Blood In, Blood Out so I will be watching that soon.

    Movies to watch during lockdown?

    Not good at all.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    What am I supposed to do tonight? Go to bed on time?

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    If the tournament is in Barclays in NYC again this year, do they cancel?
  8. Tom K.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    But that was the whole season and one team? I get it, it's just a logistical nightmare.
  9. Tom K.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    But ... why? Majority of the season is played. And why just seniors? You make a case for them, you make a case for fresh, soph, junior to get an extra year.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    If they were to cancel games, already being played to empty arenas, then I'm going home RIGHT now. That is the precedent being set. I'm surrounded by 200 people in cubes and 2,000 people in the building.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    I ain't no doctor, and I fully admit I've more or less ignored this coronavirus stuff until it hit hoops, but I don't think this goes away in 2 weeks.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    Don't suspend and postpone mean the same thing? Suspend: temporarily prevent from continuing I think playing to empty arenas actually shows that they are putting health and safety above the revenues. Suspending, postponing, whatever you call it shows that they are not prepared to lose that money.
  13. Tom K.

    They may cancel the rest of the ACCT (and they did).

    Playing to empty arenas was already the one and only appropriate action. The NBA postponing the season is an overreaction but they are not going to start losing revenue playing to empty arenas, that's fine, it's a pro sport. The NCAA following suit and postponing would purely be for the same...

    ACC tournament projection v.6.5

    Thanks Alsacs, never knew overall record did not matter in conference tournament seeding. But makes perfect sense.

    ACC tournament projection v.6.5

    Can somebody help an idiot? It's something I rarely pay attention to. We're 6th in the standings behind ND but the 5 seed in the tourney ahead of them. Both 9-8, we've split games with them, so what gives us the 5 seed? Is it that UVA win in parenthesis coming into play?

    When did you first post to this board and what was it about?

    Fan for 20+ years (man it feels weird typing that) but member since only 2016. In a thread about Diamond Stone, here is my exact first post:

    Just gets sickening after a while

    It's one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports. Pro or amateur. Not mad.
  21. Tom K.

    It comes down to this ...

    Interesting you mention that because I felt that Mack got whistled for that one as a make up for the no-call charge before that. Believe it was Marek, firmly planted and square, shoulder was lowered into him and nothing.

    The new Grayson Allen

    Draymond Green and Matthew Dellavedova say hi. Hitting people in the nuts is soooooooooo 2016.

    Even if we end up in the NIT

    There must be a joke I'm missing. We won't know that until after the season, so if he decides to come back you'll change your opinion on a completed season?

    let's not let this get us down

    The highs are too high and the lows are too low on this board (I'm probably guilty of that somewhere). Team has improved immensely. Win streak was nice, couldn't expect it to continue forever. Let's see how the team responds on Saturday.

    That was a shame

    For a player with such a great IQ he goes after 5 rebounds a game he has no chance of getting and gets the foul on 2-3 of them.
  26. Tom K.

    That was a shame

    Tough loss. Pretty inexcusable that we are down Sidibe and Marek the last 5+ minutes. Be that due to the refs, their own silly plays, or a combination of both. Lost another decent sized lead. This one bit us. But my heart was beating fast and I had clammy hands at the end of the game. I can...

    TMZ reporting Kobe killed in copter crash

    I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm before bed. I typically don't watch it right on Sundays but I knew I had to. This news punched me right in the face. The celeb deaths don't stir much inside me on a personal level but this one did. Couldn't move from the couch all afternoon. I did go play my...

    TMZ reporting Kobe killed in copter crash

    This is why all of the Michael Jordan comparisons start and end with Kobe Bryant. Never mind the hardware and accolades. You look at their games and it's a spitting image. He modeled his game after MJ.

    OT- I Stewart.

    A few weeks ago I was walking into Empower in Fayetteville more or less alongside Babers. I didn't say anything to him and got on with my day. I could tell he was super upset I didn't ask for a picture or autograph.

    What is there to look forward to?

    Sorry, you misunderstood. The absurdity is that we're piecing together make believe teams to distract from this year's stink. Essentially just coming up with more what-if scenarios. I can't blame folks, I guess. But the scenarios keep getting odder. This is the first one I've seen that took...

    And from Piscataway, NJ checking in at #21 in the CBS Sports Top 25+1 poll

    I guess it's not enough said? Edit: got it now

    What is there to look forward to?

    Lol these hypotheticals are hilarious to me. Not trying to pick on you. You are saying taking a hypothetically developed year 2 Edwards and Ajak and placing them on this year's team? This is what we've become. Thinking up absurd scenarios different from the reality and just day dreaming.

    Odd aspect of yesterday's game

    I love the airball chant. But there is no way you can start one when you're down 20 and that player is like 5-7 from 3.
  34. Tom K.

    We love you JB, but it’s time

    I remember just feeling absolutely crushed when I would see a week off between games. The dreaded Saturday/Saturday. My week would be destroyed.

    OT: best burger in Syracuse area...

    I'm gonna have to check this place out. Only about 20 minutes from home. Sometimes I feel ashamed about my CNY restaurant knowledge. I'm 31 and a lifer. Sure, I know all the Syracuse staples but there are so many great places out there I haven't been or haven't heard of. Any other gems folks...

    Melo - from the bleachers

    Jah put up some good numbers this year when he got the minutes.

    Had we had Bazley, where would we have ended up?

    That's exactly what I think. Probably enough to confidently say we get back the UCONN and ODU losses. After that it's a toss up.

    i hate replay

    I wouldn't be opposed to a complete removal of replay in terms of reviewing calls. Get rid of it entirely and live with the refs whistle. However, the secondary requirement is removal of in-stadium replay or TV broadcast replay as well for spectators. Replay still fine for highlight plays and...

    O/U on Syracuse appearances in One Shining Moment

    Does Otto count? We may have overlooked that it wasnt ever going to be One Shining Moment this year but rather One Shining Zion.

    i hate replay

    I hated it. I posted this in the game thread but when you want to get super technical about it, after the ball is poked, it should almost always touch the player in control's hand last as it leaves his or her grasp.

    NCAA National Championship Thread...

    How can they overturn that call? If you slow something down that slow doesn't the ball technically always slide off the player in control's fingertips after it's poked?

    Well that was an $800 foul call for me

    OT: Best pickup games vs CBB/Pro athlete stories...

    I was a grade below Paulus. That year against New Rochelle, Rice got injured. I don't remember how much of the game he missed but I'm not sure we win if that doesn't happen. I can't remember at all how the game went. Wasn't interested in riding pine or sideline standing with other friends so I...

    OT: Best pickup games vs CBB/Pro athlete stories...

    Interesting, some actual teaching going on in gym class. My gym teacher just rolled out the bball, football, tennis equip, whatever was schedule for that day and have at it. I blame, and this is honest, most of my shortcomings as a ball player (besides my height) on bad coaching. All of my...

    OT: Best pickup games vs CBB/Pro athlete stories...

    In my head: I absolutely rained 3s over Brandon Triche. You can't zone me Triche! Reality: I was shooting around by myself on an open hoop one year at Le Moyne. He showed up and started shooting around at the other end of the court.
