I haven’t posted on here in years! During the first couple of scrimmages I was super excited to hear that they would be playing some man this year and they looked pretty good playing it! Sadly the last 3 games they have played almost 100% zone playing into the strengths of the smaller, slower...

Was that really a shot clock violation?

JB doesn't seem to make in game adjustments well. I still think this team would have been in a lot more games if JB would have changed up D to match his opponents!

JB said in a press conference one time that they don't teach them to box out a man but rebound an area. I personally don't agree with that, I've always been taught to find a man and put your butt into him!

I think Frank will be fine! Everyone is so quick to pull the trigger on this guy. I personally think he has a ton of talent and could be a pro someday!

lets not kid ourselves and say that last years teams zone didn't have its hole! It did get dominated by a really bad St Johns team that set up 3-4 guys around the 3pt line and drained 3 after 3. I just think the zone has been figured out by most coaches and the teams that have the shooters to...

it's hard to have a players only meeting and make something happen when the strategy is wrong, IMO

I'd like to see this team play M2M without the press! The press gets these guys out of position and I'd like to see how they play for a full 30 seconds.

WOW!

imagine this team as a fastball only pitcher throwing it straight down the middle and every player is cocking back and blasting home runs pitch after pitch. What coach would continue to keep that pitcher in the game?

give me a "D"!!!

It's frustrating watching a team that can't play zone well and JB continues to hold on to his security blanket!

wasn't that Brian Griese announcing the game?

I think JB seriously needs to rethink the zone with this group. This game would have been within reach if they played that team M2M.

It's airing on YES tonight

The recipe to beat SU is to rotate the ball and hit the open 3 which we saw that last year. It's pretty simple, identify shooters and keep them from getting good looks.

This thread sounds to me like we need to give everyone a participation trophy! If we really need to feel sorry for every student athlete that something doesn't go their way, we will be here for a long time! Are we going to continue to make excuses for people who aren't good enough and always...

At times I often question how long some people who post on this board have been following SU. In my opinion this program has had 2 really solid era's in its history 86-91 and 09-14 but we've also had some really down years! The mid to late 90s teams were mediocre at best with very few top...

Every year JB finds that one guy he screams at more than others and it looks like John won this years prize! Ever since John drove to the basket, didn't set up a play and turned it over against Monmouth, he has been under a microscope! Some players can seem to work through it and others can't...

To me, Gillon seems to be a head down and take it to the basket guy but his size might hurt him getting a clean look. I prefer Frank driving and kicking to the open man when help defense shifts to him.

It's hard to do anything when the D is in the backfield when the ball is handed off! I think he looked pretty explosive when he had a chance.

It seems like our society gets pleasure in dissecting anything and everything about someone or something. People have forgotten how to sit back and enjoy things. Sure, we all get frustrated and fired up over things but come on, this isn't one of them! BTW, I thought Dion was playing well when I...

So if a player or coach (I believe) is under contract with a professional team, teams can't come cherry pick them unless they negotiate a deal. This should be in place for college athletics as well! If another team really wants Dino, fine we will transfer his contract for $20 million.

Almost 18K views on the ESPNU Facebook page already! I'm sure sportscenter will have it on loop until tomorrow morning!

I'm not sure that Wegmans will ever add a store from Utica to the Albany area. Back in the early 90's, Hannaford, a pretty big chain from Maine came into those areas. I think the combination of PC and Hannaford doesn't make it a very attractive area to expand.

It's crazy that the furthest east Wegmans went in NY was Syracuse! I grew up in Utica and didn't get a Wegmans until I moved to New Jersey!

As a Syracuse fan why in the world would you want another football powerhouse in the conference along with being 2 thousand miles away? I think the ACC already has enough powerhouse football programs to always be at the top. Personally I would rather have UConn in over Texas, I prefer A regional...

I can't take this angle either! It's like they are shooting from the 20 YD line! Also, the camera is out of focus to me. Is the ACC D camera team doing this game?

It's funny how everyone here is so sensitive about this stuff! I think it's an interesting Look at our players. You really can't argue with any of the analysis as each one of the remaining teams besides us have been in the top 5 for most of the year!

The JB's (I'm sure no one knows this song)

This is a nice track! Wish we could get it updated for the current team!

I had to rewind at halftime to confirm the bad call! It stuck with me the rest of the half and was a big momentum changer.

in my house My wife and kids will get a glare or yelled at if they are to loud or walk in front of the TV if Cuse is on.

The one thing people don't take into consideration was the fact that we were leading when that blocking call was made and it changed the momentum of the game totally! They changed the rules last year or the year before to reduce the offensive foul calls but I certainly haven't noticed a...

Where's John Wallace when you need him!

How do I reverse a jinx? Any suggestions?

Are they made with some ultra light synthetic material or something? They didn't look like anything special!

I like watching it! I think it would be cool if cbs could do a one shining moment for the past 30 years. That would be pretty cool!

I think this is a tough matchup for us similar to Pitt. I hope I'm wrong.

Well, I'm sure San Diego St felt like they got lucky to play Florida Gulf Coast a couple years back and ended up losing. If MTSU keeps its hot shooting streak going, we are in trouble! IE St Johns! BTW, if we make it to the sweet 16, the Zags are a very bad matchup for our team!

I don't think has been posted but have we ever been this high of an underdog in the first round ever? We were either 8 or 9 a couple times but never a 10! Weird being the underdog!

It's funny that I never realized he was gone also! I think there was a bunch of college basketball analyst who all left ESPN about the same time. I really enjoyed guys like Raf and Digger!

I wouldn't doubt it if one of their web developers was told to put it up around 6:30 because historically the bracket is up soon after the usual 30 minute unveiling. If CBS is like most companies, they either forgot to tell the NCAA about their new format of the web team never got the email of...

I believe it was both SU and Pitt leaving that caused the breakup of the old Big East. We don't know what would have happened but we had Boise St and TCU coming in for football and we would have still had a killer conference with the same conference that got 9-10 bids in previous years. We can...

I hate early games!!!!

I'm hoping for the play in game honestly

Well, State develops their whole team all year and plays 9-10 guys which is something JB is scared to do. State usually puts up a few loses in the beginning of the year but year after year the formula works. That's why every year they finish so strong.

I know people love the zone but it's so predicable! we are a straight fastball pitcher and Pitt is a home run slugger.

I also miss the original BIg East tourney but let's hope attendance and ratings are great for the next 3 years to open the eyes of the god old boys!

yeah, I just looked and Coyle will pay $25k in taxes! Ouch!
