At Syracuse, Carey was always two years away from being two years away. This move makes sense because in the MAAC, he’s two years away.

This pickup fills a couple of holes from last year, namely low post scoring and having a big man who can compete physically on defense. I’d like to see a more well rounded skill set, but oh well. This fits SU’s previous style of striking fairly quickly in the portal. When did we start seeing...

Ja’Kobi Gillespie of Belmont committed to Maryland. https://www.on3.com/college/maryland-terrapins/news/belmont-transfer-guard-jakobi-gillespie-commits-to-maryland/ That likely reduces the minutes they have available for other portal PGs, say someone like … Malik Mack

If he was just out for money and being involved in entertainment, he should have followed Jason Cipolla’s example by taking the less dangerous path of hooking up with a wealthy actress twice his age.

The OP revealed he misses the days of seeing the bare arms and legs of college basketball players. Just my opinion.

I secretly set up a live webcam right outside the entrance to the Melo Center. If you're interested, here's the feed:

I watched some of the St. Joseph's games in the A-10 and Reynolds played very well. Another guy on their roster who caught my eye is PF/C Rasheer Fleming. He's listed at 6-9 220 but he looks bigger than that to me. I don't remember Cuse recruiting him out of high school, but he is from Camden...

Salute to Judah and Maliq. Tony Bennett gets a COY vote despite having his offense fail to score 50 points in three consecutive games and four out five toward the end of the season. What a joke.

That’s right, imagine this year’s team with the always unselfish Joe Girard, who caused a Clemson turnover tonight by trying to intercept a pass intended for his teammate. Girard did a great job of pulling last year’s team together and stopping a four game death spiral of 20+ point blowouts. We...

Salute to the coaches for another fire game plan on O in the first half! Salute to Mintz and Quadfather for connecting on an alley oop down the stretch! (If at first you don’t succeed…) Salute to Justin Taylor for another solid game on his return from oblivion! And salute to Matt Cox of the...

Flip flopped.

I prefer slightly bigger, but, unlike Red Season 1, that is a very nice bust.

Salute to the staff for adding some nice wrinkles on O today. I saw some back screens to set up Bell in the corner and some baseline cuts for Taylor that led to points. Salute to all the former players for returning to the JMAD, including Roosevelt Bouie, who was rocking an orange Batavia Downs...

Salute to Chris Bell for the volcanic first half. Ding dong MFers! Salute to the zebras for not calling a garbage foul on Horne’s pathetic shot to tie the game! Salute to Cope and Mintz for the clutch FTs in the final minute and saving what was settling up to be an excruciating loss at the...

Salute to Red for keeping the team together. I was worried about a four-game death spiral like late last season. Saturday was a good comeback despite the L, and tonight was the best performance of the season. Salute to Hima for being a cromulent basketball player and being on the court at the...

Salute to Chris Bell. 6 boards! That might be double his career high. Salute to Maliq Brown. 5x5! Salute to Seth Greenberg. I don't even like the guy, but he was spitting hot fire tonight. And salute to the whole team. An inspired effort in front of the JMAD faithful to overcome a feisty...

I came to this thread to see if anyone spilled the tea related to the final decision to dismiss Benny. I’m staying for the H0T Takes on parenting and the debate on when it’s appropriate to refer to people as adults. Please start a Patreon or Substack so I can hear more of these takes. I would...

It’s tough to win at Wake Forest because their giant fan base gives them a huge pool of NIL money to bring in a new group of elite transfers every year.

Exclusively playing 2-3 zone on out of bounds plays and not trying to get offensive rebounds on most free throws got me feeling like ...

Salute to Chris Bell for catching fire. Also had a couple of boards, an assist and a block. Stuffing the stat sheet! Salute to the refs for accurately calling fouls on NC State’s garbage defense. Salute to the staff and all players for the lockdown halfcourt D. To my eye, Cuse is playing...

It was incredible in the second half when Devendorf said Pack needed to get cooking for Miami, and Pack then hit 3 straight buckets. It was also delicious in the first half when Devendorf commented on Mintz's matador D...speaking from experience there. It's zero surprise that Cory Alexander...

Salute to JJ. That jumper is getting wet. Salute to Mintz for running the team down the stretch. It's nice to come back and win a close one against Miami instead of collapsing like the last few years. Salute to Maliq Brown for GOING TO THE BALL on the final inbounds play to avoid what was...

I was wondering what topic would fill the enormous vacuum of posts created by the departure of JB since 2-3 zone vs. m2m debates have been left in the past. The microanalysis of fluctuations in the NET and kenpom rankings is leading at the halfway mark of the season.

Salute to JJ for knocking down some treys and showing a sweet pull-up Jimmy. Salute to Mintz for helping out on the glass. Salute to Maliq the Freak, who didn't come close to the mythical 5x5 tonight, but he is so disruptive on defense that he is starting to force opponents to change their...

The shot Frank Howard delivered to Tre Jones’s shoulder in the first half to knock him out of the game was probably his clutchest shot in a Syracuse uniform.

I would like to invite everyone to the debut of my photographic essay titled “Transition Defense, Featuring Judah Mintz.”

Maliq came close to the mythical 5 by 5 performance last night. This is very difficult to do in college hoops with 40 minute games and a longer shot clock. Using CBB reference's player game finder, I found two 5 by 5 performances since 2010-11. This is the list of games of at least 5 points, 5...

The 9:00 starts might be an issue for JB. I also tuned in right before halftime last night when the crew was talking about the NFL playoffs and JB revealed he has switched over to Bills mafia after many years as a Pats fan. The Heimer is a bandwagon fan, who da thunk it?!

Girard played pretty well against Clemson last night. He should feel good about that. Plus, he has been on teams that have blown much bigger second half leads against the Canes, so he shouldn’t take the loss too hard.

Salute to Copeland for another great game. I was down on the team after the first 6-8 games and one of the main reasons was that I didn’t see a sophomore leap from one of the many sophomores on the team. Copeland might be making his leap now. Salute to Autry. I want to call out the solid plan...

Salute to Cuffe for hitting some shots early and getting things rolling. Salute to Quadir for being a monster. The facility should be renamed the Copeland Pentagon. And salute to the Cuse fans for the loud LGO chants in the 2nd half.

Salute to JJ for hitting some big shots and creating that offensive rebound opportunity for the Cope A Dope putback dagger. The squad looked anemic last Saturday, but much better today, salute to Red for increased levels of HIMAglobin.

I have an appointment at 2:30 on Saturday, so I politely asked the two schools to move the game up.

Salute to Copeland for hitting those two FTs after the Cornell went to the hack a Cope strategy in the final minutes, and also the unnecessary dunk to finish off the Fightin Nard Dogs.

If Cuse simply shot 60% on 3s, this game would have come down to the final possession.

I don’t remember a lot of production out of McLeod in the 2nd half when Cuse really started rolling, but he did a nice job of shutting down Baker in the first half and Baker ended up being a nonfactor. Salute to Naheem.

During the Zags game, Bill remarked it was his first time broadcasting a Cuse game. Bill, one night later as the Orange stomped the ‘Nade: “This is the best game I’ve EVER seen Syracuse play live!”

I’m encouraged because I thought getting stomped from the jump was possible since this is the first real team Cuse has faced. However, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team step out of bounds under minimal pressure 5 times in a game like the Vols did. This could have been a stomping much earlier.

Sometimes the best gets are keeping the ones you already had.

In the current environment of college basketball, do you think a team that relies on a zone defense can be successful against opposing offenses that have 3, 4, or even 5, players capable of shooting a high percentage from three-point range?

I hope Spectrum airs video of Adam eating his own finger. .

I read through the whole thread. Lots of fire takes. The only thing I have to add is...a picture of Adam Weitsman eating his finger during the Wake Forest game!

Unfortunately, Miami's basketball success has not led to much success for LifeWallet. In the last year, the company's stock price has slipped from $10.18 to $0.88. I'm sure there is nothing fraudulent about the company and its fortunes will turn around soon.

I would love to see Cuse snag Gapare. I remember watching his YouTube videos on full screen because I was trying to determine if the rims in New Zealand gyms were set to 9’6” above the floor by default. That’s how easy he made dunking look.

Keegan Records from Colgate hit the portal today. He didn’t play huge minutes there, so maybe he’d be amenable to splitting minutes with another big at Syracuse. Plus, he could give the staff some insight on how to stop the Red Raiders.

I’m going to assume JB has a task list titled “top 10 things to do after I retire” and “fire Brent Axe” was number 4. The list was written on a yellow legal pad with an astronaut pen.

He’s gonna take over at Washington after Hopkins leaves.

Yes, it would be great to get someone who has some recruiting connections. I'm wondering if G Mac will leave. In that case, it might be helpful to get someone with connections in the Philly area. I think Hop was the main Team Final connection, although Cuse landed Copeland. Please no Seth...

jncuse, thanks for the updates. I got addicted to the Boebble watch during the many years Cuse was on the Boebble. It’s sad that we can’t reach that status anymore. In fact, I think I can’t refer to it as the Boebble at this point. I was thinking of switching to the Buzzble, but Texas A&M is...
