...and that's how the season ends -- not with a bang, but with a whimper

[BomberOrange]

Listening to the game on the radio… but does the team not understand the concept of ensuring you get last shot in a tie game. Maybe I missed something because of radio.

there was a 5-6 second differential between the game & shot clock

There was 5 seconds over the shot clock. No matter what, wake was gonna get the ball

Feels like Cuse is always the 8 seed in the ACCT and always loses..

 

[baggerbob]

Lost in the first round of the ACCT... again.

In the dreaded 8/9 game, after a thoroughly mediocre season landed us there.

We're unlikely to qualify for the NIT.

If we get into the CBI, I assume we'd turn it down. So the season is in all likelihood OVER -- at noon on a Wednesday.

The only question remaining is whether this outcome will also apply to our HOF coach's illustrious, 47 year career.

Ugh...

Hopefully JB does the right thing and retires, the university needs a new face for the basketball program.
They need to start the rebuilding of the program now. It was a great career, thank you JB, but it's time to stop the bleeding.

 

[Madbiker]

Are we all getting used to losing?

 

[ForCuseSake]

One change I'd like to see for next year...

Nike makes stronger uniforms to prevent players from ripping them off Hulk Hogan style.

 

[djcon57]

Thank you Jim Boeheim. I mean that unsnarkily. 47 years of excellence.

Whatever decision is made, the pivot should be made to acknowledge what this guy has done for the program. What's done is done at this point

if he comes back for another year, we can’t make that pivot

 

[UpstateSM]

Just please end this all for good. I’m actually begging them to end it. Please.

Please

Please

If my math is right Boeheim now 1-8 in ACC tourney games.

That's incorrect.

There were 6 extra seconds no way you can ensure last shot. Awful coaching and we ended up with the worst look imaginable.

This can’t continue for a program like us and I pray it’s not an assistant who gets the job.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I hope people realize how bad that final possession was. And it was almost guaranteed to be bad. You cannot do something that will cause a live ball run out. That happens mostly with long, bad shots.

It's too predictable.

Does the Pandemic Eve game in 2020 where we randomly destroyed UNC count? I think he has more than 1 but your point is well taken. We've sucked in the ACCT.

 

[kirbivore]

aren't we always in the 8/9 game? Seems like we are every year.

Hello friends. A tradition like no other.

Another dreadful interview at half by JB. He gives the poor interviewer a snotty answer and then walks off before she can ask another question. It's time for someone who can handle it better.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Absolutely, which is why you want something that is not a run out down the court.

6 second differential, WF would’ve gotten a shot regardless.

Seth Greenberg and studio crew saying repeatedly "it's time"

 

[MDCuse]

They have won their first round game in the last 4 (prior to this year), I believe.

[Newhouser]

Joe has made more boneheaded plays than any Orange starting senior than I’ve ever seen.
Sincerely hope he’s gone!

What was he supposed to do on the last shot? Judah pass to Benny in a dribbling spot? Joe - who killed us for sure - gets stuck with the ball after everyone including the head coach, turtles up.

 

[elimunelson]

Mentally unstable? Come on

Guy rips his shirt off before the game is over is not someone who is mentally locked in IMO.

I'm not judging his mentality as a competitor. You gotta reign it in. That was unacceptable

 

[jdubs30]

Kudos to Benny

People need to give some credit to Wake's defense on that last play and throughout the game. But, you would have thought we would have done something much different, like attack the hoop.

Red was on his staff and is the likely next step. Kind of surprised however he would say that on National TV

Good... hope they all jump on the bandwagon...

Giving wake a long clock with no timeouts would have forced them into a bad last second heave. You call up the best play and get 2 or an open 3.

Beyond awful.
