    This team shows absolutely no emotion

    Its like thinking that the basketball bluebloods don't get 98% of the press and 50% of the population that follow them are called arrogant supremisists by the midmajors. meanwhile espn lies, telling us only 2% support the bloobloods and we support that. emotion goes either way

    Yes, it is the end of the world...

    We will be ok. imo people need to support our leaders like JB and the staff as they support theirs. :)

    Dissecting our flaws

    roberson played 1:15 the second and a winded lydon had to play the whole half. robersons missed layup and non hustle back that play should have got him chewed 10x worse then anything gillon or any other player has done this year, and it didn't on camera anyway.

    Dissecting our flaws

    imo would like to see lydon get an immediate screen after a high post entry. Hes to far from the basket with his dribble and not explosive enough to beat his man one on one on the entry. He doesn't get down in a low stance and dribble explosively its just not his game. Maybe something with...

    Not as bad

    clearly the rim and arena weren't helping msg or not. imo we should have had 10 points 4 minutes in, we were that wide open.

    Why would good big men even consider SU?

    fair enough of an opinion. imo Rak's hookshot wasn't nearly as dominant as a jr, no where close and he never got excited about it. I felt that way that year and still do. He had one solid offensive game that year. I watched him miss it left and right short rim to strong all year not even...

    Why would good big men even consider SU?

    rakeem christmas averaged 17.5 ppg as a senior two years ago. Furthermore Rak did not have the touch around the basket with his 7 footers as a Jr. He absolutely did not. JB hinted towards it to showcase him as a ready senior, and everyone bought hook line and sinker. He dominated in practice the...

    We are really, really bad.

    who can score off the dribble? you lose dion and scoop who do you return? a soph mcw and a senior triche and fair who were ready out of the gate. you lose a soph mcw senior triche who do you return that can score off the dribble cj ennis and grant who were ready out of the gate you lose cj...

    When not a single player on your team

    from the 9 minute mark of the second half we were 1-13 down the stretch until white hit that late three. A couple of those shots were turnovers by comparison but that shouldn't win you any game imo the last 3 years we have lacked guys scoring off the dribble especially early in the season. That...

    And, alas, he started looking to next season

    we should just bump all last years posts, this is to much fun. :) seriously read this whole thread its funny how far off we are.

    Coleman

    He ran the floor and got rewarded with a big offensive foul for posting up right under the basket for a entry pass in transition. Things that make you say facepalm.

    We are really, really bad.

    The last three years jb has been slow to decide who is going to score off the dribble. Heck two years ago we had no one kaleb maybe. Last year Malachi was the only guy unto gbinije put up two losses at unc and miami, where he did no dribbling. No surprise seeing it this year, but it rounds...

    Worst Syracuse team I've ever seen.

    lol hilarious we shoot 35% instead of 25 and we beat uconn by 10 today with 5 more field goals. 5-26 today from three today 6-23 against wisky from three only 15 three attempts against SC This teams offense is at the same place they were last year at this point, with better PG play and they...

    We are really, really bad.

    JB runs a NBA style offense, a few cuts screens, it isn't changing whether we talk about it two games ago or today. And White battle can shoot off the dribble. Lydon is a stretch four who's dribble from the three point line doesn't help. imo Really need dajuan to learn to run a screen and roll...

    We are really, really bad.

    carter williams I loved him but he was full speed to the rim double or not. JB's offensive sets wasn't the reason we shot 25% today. I would love to see lydon get a high screen and run the offense out of the high post some instead of the three point line, long distance to the rim from the three...

    can someone get the posts after us losing to wisky gtown south florida and unc early on last year and post them all in this thread. One by one :p I personally am far far far from done with this team and we don't even have a press. I think the biggest defender on the floor today was the nba...

    UConn Game Thread...

    give uconn credit brimah and purvis played good pressure defense shut down white down the stretch and forced a lot of misses inside in the second half. Picked the wrong night to shoot 25% and 5-26% from deep. COuld of used one of those if we don't hit threes were not beating anyone tonight.

    26% 26% 5-26 from three and none were bad. that damn nba three point line through us off would have liked to get a step closer. couldn't go to gillon because of defensive reasons. Frank 0-9 if he just made one. just one We won't shoot that poorly again all year. lydon was gassed the second half.

    roberson has to be pulled for dajuan there. he missed the layup awful and did not hustle to get back on d, caused lydon the foul. and he was fresh off the bench. hes got to hustle we don't need him for 32 this year just 24 strong minutes.

    No. should college basketball allow hand offs for ten yard runs?

    Assistant Coaches

    And Warrick got to play next to him. Maybe with another year Lydon will get to play next to an above average defensive center. :)

    What makes you hate UCONN most

    The fact we only have one title, and they have two greeting card rings that felt no bigger than a big east tournament semifinal. Not one for the new covet is mature generation, but would like to see a third ring on JB's hand.

    Season to date thoughts...

    stop dunking the oops and the putbacks lay those off the backboard. dunk off the dribble. the odds of getting fouled on a putback or a oop low. odds of getting fouled on a strong move to the basket high.

    Assistant Coaches

    I don't know a lot about basketball however imo center in the zone gives a chance for non scoring centers and non nba centers to really showcase. Where in man to man centers have to follow their man around a good center in our 2-3 zone, a center who can extend, recover baseline, and contest a...

    Season to date thoughts...

    Great post. Agree, Lydon strikes me as a weird situation. I hope you are right about another year. Its sad that he may never get to play next to a good defensive center, because if he was next to Keita or Fab, or senior Rak, he would be an absolute beast. Sucks how these things work out for us...

    Won't be a popular post but its the truth

    This team is one of the best shooting teams in the country we have 8 guys that can hit the shot beyond the foul line. There should be a stat on how many good looks you get a possession. Its a different game when south carolina gives you .5 good looks per possession and against a cupcake we...

    Here's a Question...

    Lydon. imo Gillon has the potential to come out of his shell owning the offense against some cupcakes coming up

    Would man to man have helped

    Chuckwu would have destroyed them had we went man to man. them being our own team. The weakpoint of our defense is the big painted square.
