Bayer

More like Tylenol Lydon

there's probably a Billy Cialis joke in there somewhere

Too hard to figure out naturally?

We were losing when Frank went out. Great effort from Bayer.

Someone explain the Lydin connection please

Went to same prep school. Good friends. When he thought about transferring back East from Grinnell, Tyler suggested Cuse

 

[NineOneSeven]

Did that happen? Haha

 

[Orangefan1]

I actually think Boeheims biggest error of the year has been not player Bayer. Don’t understand that at all actually other than JB’s stubbornness

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Bayer was a great addition today, I can't recall a previous player in his position as former walk on contributing to a significant degree in and game much less one with so much meaning

 

[SoBeCuse]

He looks good. Athletic.

 

[RoatanCuse]

I wonder if Geno Thorpe is watching SU...

 

[two3zone]

Moyer got 2 important blocks in 8 minutes.

Both excellent plays but one wasn't important for us, not his fault.

You're right. One didn't end well, but stuff like that can get their shooters thinking.

Too busy getting PT for his “noon ball” team at the Y to pay attention to the NCAAs

We saw what fresh legs can do at the end of the game....I know he's a HOF coach but gosh give our guys some breathers and let the rested legs make a couple of plays.....Moyer (Friday) and Bayer (today)showed guts and hustle when given the opportunity...

It's truly ok to play 8 guys and give our 2 guards a quick breather....

Two things come to mind:
- Justin Thomas playing against UConn in the 6 OT game. He was out there doing jumping jacks and playing with all kinds of energy.
- Ronneil Herron coming in to shoot and make 2 free throws against Michigan State. It was a Dome game and the crowd went nuts when he hit them.

But this being the tourney was even bigger obviously.

We also saw what supposedly "tired" legs can do at the end of a game -- win three times in five days while holding statistically elite offensive teams under 60 points.

Battle was tired in the first half when he had 1 point. But then he wasn’t tired when he had 16 in the second half, especially when he hit the big shot to put us up 3 in the final minute.

Not sure how he was so active defensively in the first half while being so tired though. Tiredness only kicked in when shooting?

McNabb vs. G'town is the closest I can come up with.

Someone needs to do a "Where Are They Now?" article about that kid.

It really is confusing. Right after he hit that late shot, he suddenly got tired again and turned it over while he was getting mugged as MSU was trying to give a foul.

 

[Cowtown]

when you knew MSU was gonna foul i'll admit i kinda hoped BB would go to the line and ice it.

We all did.

 

[Cowtown]

Albeit a brief glance but Bayer looks like he moves pretty well, even laterally.

Yep. His east-west on the perimeter was pretty good. He came hard to the ball, closed out, and read the switches well. It was quite impressive for a guy with as few minutes coming in as he had, playing in that situation. The kid has some stones. I hope he gets some more "ice time." (hockey term)

I *liked* both of those because I have no idea.

 

[cuseattle]

So good. Freakin Dino moment right there.

 

[hungrychuck]

Worth a run. He looks more athletic than that McMahon kid from Louisville.

This is so on point.

If he cane on for our opponent, we would assume he’d be the kid who would end our season.

Totally. Doubt we see him anymore (sigh) but it was a nice cameo. Like his confidence in the post game interviews too.
