Battle out vs Pitt

[Newhouser]

Hope Jalen gets to play through mistakes and doesn't try to be a hero. Tough spot for a guy who's been an afterthought

 

[Alsacs]

We have won games this year with no offense from Battle.
We just need Hughes to be on this game.
He will determine if this isn’t a complete rock fight or we will win comfortably.

A Rochester radio show host suggested SU should tank the game with hope's of getting a lower NCAA T seeding (#10). That way 2nd round would be against a 2 seed. What he didn't say with a possibility of playing a 15 seed after one of those 2/15 upset. This was around 4 so before the news broke

Battle hasn’t played well in a month outside of the Wake game.

It will be a rock fight.

I want to see an efficient and competent game from Frank, worthy of a senior point guard in March.

12-14 points, 5 assists, no more than a couple turnovers. And absolutely no space cadet moments.

 

[moqui]

well, now this game is interesting

Agree that we have and we can win tonight. But in those other games, the opponents at least had to account for Tyus which the don't tonight. Will definitely be interesting to see how the guys step up.

Good luck

Smokescreen......Jimmy's just angling for that 7 - 10 game with Hop.

 

[rrlbees]

Buddy hits six 3’s tonight.

[Tony DeFranco]

It's hard to believe can be favored over anyone without Battle - if we score 45 points it will be a miracle

 

[Cuse House]

Buddy hits six 3’s tonight.

Sounds like a solid first half.

 

[longislandcuse]

Syracuse Football is exciting again, the Buffalo Bills are signing all sorts of upgrades in Free Agency and every time I turn around Syracuse Basketball is here to keep me humble.

 

[rhcuse]

Here is the script for tonight:

Pascal has 2 fouls by the first TV time out.
Marek has 2 by the under 12.
Frank has 3 by halftime including 1 frustration grab after his pocket is picked and 1 stupid charge.
Jalen turns the ball over 3 times in the first 5 times he touches it.


Buddy goes for 44 and wins the game. LGO

I hate to see our best player out but the last game against Pitt Battle shot 2-13. 0-3 from 3. But he did have 5 assists and only 1 TO. We have to win this game with tight defense and hope PItt players are tired.

I wonder what impact Battle's absence has on the betting line.

 

[jdubs30]

Sounds like he’d be back for the NCAAs at least

 

[rhcuse]

Sounds like a solid first half.

Gmac approves of this message

 

[Col. Bleep]

The DEFENSE must be tough.
Unfortunately, Pitt has already seen it twice.

Seems like we're in an alternate universe

Not really a big move at all - we were -320 and now we're -250

This game is a pickem - Battle is literally all we have - of or on - no one else is capable of doing anything on their own - we need every loose ball and a monster defensive effort

 

[MikeDamone]

Obviously this team ain't the 2010 or 2012 teams, but we sure do have some bad luck right before the NCAAT

 

[Cheriehoop]

Hope he has a quick and full recovery for the NCAA’s. Go SU!
