Kid reminds me of Wendell Alexis

Wow, there was a huge reaction to my motive for going into a Subway sandwich shop in New Orleans. It's not so dramatic...I was at a conference across the street, was walking to my hotel nearby and wanted to grab a drink quickly. Tyus was walking out and I was walking in. Mystery solved...

I’m at a conference in New Orleans and was walking out of a Subway and ran into Tyus Battle. He is here working out for the team and it really seems like he might have a shot to be drafted. He was very gracious and I think his work ethic and demeanor will pay off. Good luck Tyus. He could t...

If he goes it will be a mistake in some ways but the question is, will another year help him? I'm not sure he can or will be the leader on the team so I would expect similar numbers next year as this year.

Not meaning to be cryptic and wasn't looking for someone to pick a basic statement apart like it is some official testimony... but if it means that much to you...I just feel like he is very under the radar...is a pure scorer..and when we look at who was on the team in the last 5 years...he will...

Guerrier will be our best recruit in 5 years. Book it!

I just saved 15% on my car insurance!

This hurts the team of course but we have a better starting lineup without him in it in my view. Frank the tank strikes again!

Maybe he was arrested for moving too slow in the lane!

Frank the TANK!

Superdome. Teary eyed, not gonna lie! Was there in 1987 too, teary eyed for the wrong reasons!

it has almost no bearing on how SU looks or doesn't look. Anyone knowledgeable about basketball will look at the body of the entire season, not one game very early in the season. Syracuse is a markedly better team this year than UCONN, is in a much better conference than UCONN and has a better...

Funny seeing Pitino as Assistant

Yes.

I am not debating that he had games last year where he wasn't aggressive to the basket but I am certain he drove to the basket far more last year than this year. Even at the top of my head I can remember multiple instances last year where he drove to the basket and threw up 5 footers, many of...

Lighten up. It was an exaggeration. Yes, hyperbole to make a point. He has been subpar at best.

Carey will start but JB will have a very short leash on him and pull him out every missed assignment on defense and every dumb turnover. Brycen will be the replacement.

it depends on who we lose to but I would think there is only a VERY small chance we drop out entirely. The field is too weak.

Which is pathetic for a starting point guard. I would submit that the vast majority of his assists are passes around the perimeter where someone has an open 3. Marek has far better court vision than Frank.

I am not sure if there are stats for this but In my 30 plus years of watching basketball somewhat passionately I am not sure I have seen a point guard drive to the basket fewer times in a season. I am 53 years old, semi-out of shape and I don't think he could get by me. He doesn't even try and...

I predict next year will be our toughest in a while. Hope I am wrong. We just don't have a "glue" player. Dislike Tyus all you want but he is the go to guy on the team. Who is that next year?

Was Christmas the last decent big we had?

Hasn't done well over last several years? How do you define that? Our success has been much better than almost all other NCAA teams other than maybe 10 in the last 5 years or so.

This is not the Syracuse we are wanting and use to but let's put this into perspective people. This is a tournament team who may be dangerous. Granted, we have gotten blown out by some of the top teams in the country but it amazes me the roller coaster some people ride in their heads based...

it depends on your definition of mediocre. Given our normal history of recruiting, we most certainly DO NOT have a very good recruiting class coming in next year. I think Gurrier is under the radar and same with Goodine but we all kind of hope we are right about that because we didn't sign any...

Agreed. We are NOT on the bubble, nowhere close at the moment. A Clemson win would be nice but even a loss likely wouldn't put us on the bubble

I actually disagree. I am certainly not monumentally upset about a loss to the #2 team in the country and a team that was lights out in the second half. And I do agree that we may play well in the tournament, at least in the first round or two. The fact is though that being blown out of the...

Maybe not a great example of teams but in the "old days" it seemed like we were always battling 2 or 3 BE teams for being top dog in the conference. Now we seem to be relegated to the also rans with Duke and NC staying atop their anointed ACC position, UVA making a case to join their pedestal...

Saw him at Dinosaur BBQ after game last night. Kid looks like he is solid!

This is a 19 year old kid in mourning. Can’t blame him for being bitter and irrational at this moment. One day he will realize it was not Boeheims fault. If his dad was hit by some random person he wouldn’t fault the guy for going to work 3 days later. I do think it was irresponsible for the...

Everything he said was innocuous. Yes he could have said no comment but seems he was trying to be supportive of JB, the family and the community. If he actually reached out to the press that’s one thing but if it was the other way around, I wouldn’t have done it but see no harm. He does seem...

Very interesting if true. But you can’t blame anyone so quickly after a tragedy like this as the family is likely in a state of shock and not exactly thinking clearly at the moment. Seems a family may not be so happy with all the press given to Boeheim( certainly not his choice) and not as much...

You can bet that as well as Wildhack has handled things SU has not only reached out to the family of the deceased but potentially brought up something like a moment of silence. Above that, this is a private matter that has already been dissected ad nauseum and I am very confident JB won’t make...

I believe this oddly worded statement was intended to optically make it look like Boeheim didn’t make the decision in order to take away second guessing against him. I am sure Boeheim had a lot of influence here and Wildhack ultimately deferred to JB.

Several people on the Board have said they heard from a source JB won’t coach tomorrow night. Can we get further info on the validity?

Maybe true but no one else should make the decision for him. Highly suggest, maybe.

This was an unfortunate accident. Any decision should be made by Boeheim and only Boeheim. Period. Screw optics. If he decides he can’t coach tmrw or needs time off that is his call just as it should be if he wants to coach tmrw.

As much as I love our streak of non losing seasons inwoukdnmuch rather have 4 National Championships. Just being real. Now of the debate is whether I would want to have their future instead of ours that is a different story. I would take Cuse all day!

I was just at the airport in San Diego heading to Syracuse and the first thing the Delta check in guys says is “ watch out on the freeways over there.. you might get hit by the Syracuse coach.” SUCH poor taste. I should have given him a piece of my mind but he wasn’t worth the effort. I...

I am sure that no matter what there will be a Moment of silence

No chance it gets cancelled. And for those that say JB shouldn't coach in the game, I also disagree. I get the optics of ESPN Gameday and that pulling out not a bad decision but this is different..this is a man doing his job. He was not at fault for the death as unfortunate as it was. If he...

Bottom line is that there isn't a right answer here. Yes, cancelling it during this tough time is a respectful thing to do but if they didn't cancel it, they could have handled it in such a way to be respectful to the situation and pay some sort of tribute to the gentleman that was killed. At...

We are Syracuse with a proud history. We should never want to go against a team who can give an excuse that they weren't full strength. And I think it's his Fetzer Valve.

SO true. But I don't want anyone saying they really weren't #1 when we play them.

We should be rooting for Duke here!

I want to play them full strength, win or lose.

Frank has already cost us 4 points this half and it just started!

There are multiple threads about him because many people on here have watched basketball for many years and know a little something about it. I am convinced he hurts the team overall and, yes, he has a few games here and there but overall he is a liability on offense in a big way.

Here is Cuse, our 9 yr old Goldendoodle! Just diagnosed with terminal cancer last week. But fighting...hopefully like the real Cuse! He says we need to hit at least 7 3's to beat Louisville!
