I threatened to cancel Fios and they cut my bill by about 20% and gave me more channels and faster internet. All in for $149 which includes DVR and leased router. I did have to sign another 2 year contract. I tried the youtube.tv trial. It was OK. You still have to pay for internet so you're...

I don't see dumb or lazy with this team either. The reality is, basketball is a lot harder when you don't have a single player that can get a bucket inside of the free throw line. That will make a lot of teams look "dumb". They're fatally flawed offensively and they're not going to make it up...

They are makeable when they're open. Not when they're defended and the shooter is rushed. I don't think they had more than a few open 3 point looks all night. Props to Tony Bennett and their team. Those guys D up every year. Nothing but respect for his teams.

Kevin Ollie is the 16th greatest March Madness Coach ? mmkay.

Studigor would be telling us that if not for him being "Boeheimed" Braedon Bayer would be a lottery pick. He trolled these boards before anyone knew what trolling was. So many classic lines.

I don't like missing on purpose because you open up a the chance of a violation with an air-ball or missing the rim. Players don't practice missing free throws ( at least I hope they don't) so who knows what happens. Giving them the ball out of bounds with .4 and down 3 is about the only chance...

He Gone !

Plus, god forbid you air ball it or miss the rim and it's a violation - ball out of bounds. Make the free throw and run away from the ball.

I like it. I can't see how this is good for ratings though. Have to think a lot of people will check-out if their team isn't in the field. I know I would ( hypothetically speaking of course).

BC had great ball movement and got a lot of open looks. You're gonna shoot those looks a lot better than when you're shooting with a man in your face like this team seems to do so often. There doesn't seem to be any attempt to move the ball. A couple token passes and someone jacks one up or...

It's the staff's job to develop players and it's the staff that deals the cards. They bring the players in. There is plenty of blame to go around. You really think BC has that much more talent ?

It opened at SU -1 and now BC -1.5. Everyone is betting BC.

I think it says Zone killn Syracuse. Clearly a board member is running this investigation.

I like it the way it is. I was initially opposed to the four play-in games as being unnecessary but now I think it's a nice way to whet the appetite before Thursday. Sort of like opening one present on Christmas Eve.

So Columbia has as many national titles as us ? That is emasculating.

Is that sarcasm ?

The one travel call on Marek was awful. Other than that I didn't have a problem with the refs. We shot 14 more free throws. That was a double dribble. And I was worried they were going to double T Frank for both shoves.

I don't think it's this extreme in real life. I think most level headed Syracuse fans are pro-JB but willing to acknowledge his flaws and mistakes like every coach has. I think on the internet and in this forum you have a dynamic where the overly sensitive sycophants react towards any perceived...

He didn't need to write this article. Young kids make stupid mistakes. We all have. He needs to write an article explaining why a grown man behaves like such a troll.

Arinze had some post moves. I think it's a lost art in general. Not just at Syracuse.

I am sure BC fans feel the same way. Expectations have been lowered. That is the only point I was making. I don't think it's that hot a take.

I guess we have different ways of celebrating. When someone "celebrates" by calling out posters on a message board that sounds more like insecurity and rabble-rousing to me but to each their own.

It was a nice win. I don't think it changes the fact this team is still bad by Syracuse standards. And that Louisville team doesn't resemble the one's that have bludgeoned us in past years, IMO. This call out thread would make more sense if they beat a couple ranked teams or win a couple games...

Not to be a wet blanket, but when there's chest thumping over a win versus an unranked opponent I think that says as much as any of the negative posts could.

Go away or I shall taunt you a second time !

No. And only because I didn't start following until 88-89. Sorry, I'm selfish. :)

Looks like it's down to 6.5 in most places.

Agree that it is all relative. If the Syracuse starting 5 was made up of Battle and 4 random guys/gals on this message board and Battle was shooting 30% from 3 on that team, you would still want him shooting a lot of 3's. Should Battle be shooting less 3's on this team based on his 32% 3pt...

MCW Flynn is the better scorer but I think whatever gap there is between Flynn and MCW as scorers MCW would make up by making Battle , Brissett and the bigs better. And that's before we even get into the whole length at the top of the zone deal.

Not all player are recruited to shoot. I wouldn't want Craig Forth shooting wide open threes that doesn't mean he shouldn't have been recruited. There are countess others. Moyer is not a 3 pt shooter unless the shot clock is 5 seconds or less IMO. Also I think this deal with Washington is over...

OK so you want less shots for Battle and more Moyer and Washington 3's ? We'll agree to disagree.

I'd be willing to bet he's coached that way. This team isn't loaded with scoring options. There are basically 3 guys who have range outside of an open dunk so I am sure he is coached to be uber-aggressive when he has a look. He's a flawed scorer but he's the best we got and teams know it. In...

I'm not sold he's going to score his way into an NBA rotation. The guards that don't shoot the ball as well in the NBA generally have another skill they do really well. What is that for Tyus ? I'd like to see him take a step forward on the defensive end and work himself into the mold of a Marcus...

He reminds me a little bit of Jae Crowder when he was at Marquette.

The irony of the outrage from fans is if/when Brissett declares for the draft they'll be saying the same thing. ;)

I don't get it. He's unhappy with his playing time so now he's not going to play at all ?

A shooter shoots.

With Rick and Andy it was small leaps every year and come senior year they were beasts. Neither had a season as disastrous as FH's sophmore year. Fab is a good one.

Honestly, if FH had decided to transfer after last year I would have considered it addition by subtraction. You have to give the kid his props. It is still early but I can't remember being this surprised by the leap a kid has made from one year to the next.

I don't see where Thorpe gets any more minutes assuming everyone is healthy. FH appears to have turned the corner and we all know Battle is playing 38-39 in every competitive game. That doesn't leave a lot of minutes for Geno.

Does anyone know if Tony Bland applied for an assistant position here ?

Calipari is also a Western PA guy. But I'm sure those two have never crossed paths before. :rolleyes:

I would say there is a lot more to play out before the ACC starts making those kind of decision i.e. kicking out schools. Let's say this thing hits 3,4 ,5, 6 more schools in the ACC. Are they going to kick all of them out ? Don't start cleaning up the damage until after the storm is finished.

If it was a one time thing I would feel bad for him. This wasn't a one time thing. He dug is grave.

Maybe the most shocking thing to me is it took this long for this stuff to get out. A lot of people have kept a lot of secrets for a long time.

Ha, P5 leaves the NCAA and NBA players start going back to school.
