BJ Johnson: 2-7
Rak/Gbinije/Roberson/Joseph: 5-7

Really hope this doesn't happen vs. Duke...not that I expect to win, but I don't want to lose by 40 either.

It seems we've seen two defenses against us, the shut Cooney down defense and the double team Rak defense. Both extremely effective. If a competent coaches scouted us we would probably struggle to be .500 this year.

BJ Johnson: 2-7 Rak/Gbinije/Roberson/Joseph: 5-7

So BJ is 8-40 on the year.

 

[jdubs30]

We're gonna see G and Cooney on top...preview of next year at some points

 

[Ghost]

That was CLEAN!

 

[NineOneSeven]

You can't block a shot better

 

[supp]

Is Rak's wrist acting up? Helps to explain the sloppy ballhandling (this game and last).

 

[jdubs30]

Dumb shot by G... bailed out by Cooney/Rak

 

[Ghost]

That was most definitely the weirdest half of basketball this year.

 

[longislandcuse]

That was some seriously awful basketball.

 

[two3zone]

I still love this team but this may be the worst basketball we've played in the Boeheim era. I never thought we were that bad, but this team is bad.

 

[supp]

This team is as bad as BC's cheerleaders are chubby. Wow! Are they wearing flak jackets?

The talent is really bad. In a good year, Rak is probably the only player would get decent minutes. I would think if G/Cooney were on any of the teams from 2009-2013 they both get less than 15 minutes each, at best; G might have played a tad more because of versatility though. Hell, this year's Rak would struggle for minutes during the AO/Rick years.

Ron Patterson may be the worst shooter that I've ever seen.

But he's great on D !!!!!

Agree with everything you said but I think AO, Rak, and Rick would have very similar minutes. Everybody else, I think you're spot on.

Hard to believe Patterson is worse than BJ offensively

 

[Madbiker]

Can anyone here play PG? That is a huge problem. The offense is awful. Did we go like 8 minutes without a FG? We were ahead 23-15 and had about 8 consecutive empty possessions. Who is in those Syracuse uniforms because outside of G they don't look like Syracuse players.

 

[two3zone]

But he's great on D !!!!!

If great = better than Joesph then he's great, but from what I see he really isn't that good. People get by him often, he takes dumb chances for steals, and he isn't even that good defending the three.

 

[two3zone]

It's hard to believe that their shooting percentages are even possible at the D1 or even D2 level. Throw in Roberson thinking he can make a mid range shot these guys are just flat out bad shooters.

Could you imagine these guards battling with Scoop/Dion/Triche/MCW/Rautins/Ennis for minutes? How about the forwards with Fair/Grant/Wes/Joseph/Southerland? Im sure there's a few guys that are slipping my memory too.

You're probably right about Rak though, but as good as Raks been, he'd be an afterthough for us any other year.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Wow luck a$$ shot

 

[Ghost]

Joseph has a nice touch on those short/intermediate shots.

 

[jdubs30]

Kaleb really just has a nice little mid range J...it's a shame he rarely gets to use it, usaully due to his own mistakes...

 

[jdubs30]

Man if Hanlan heats up...

 

[Ghost]

Rak is probably our best passer.
