BC Part II Post Game

[baggerbob]

Eddie is protecting a 2 in a 3 point game with under .04 to go.

Lazy.

Eddie has no concept of defense, or game situations, and that's on the coach. It doesn't make any difference if your coach has no idea what he is doing.

That is the result of bad coaching. What an ugly victory. Were the rims moving when the players were shooting FTs? Whichever team lost had the same reason for the loss.

I think Red said post game that JJ was supposed to foul but going under the screen screwed up the play.
i was there for the whole game and frankly enjoyed it strictly from an entertainment perspective.
Really enjoyed seeing the first final 4 team honored and seeing Roy Danforth.
And loved seeing my boy Cuffe get the steal that forced a third overtime

I guess Red is worse than I thought and I already don’t think he’s going to figure it out.

Correct I agree

 

[kingtidge]

*physical skills. Sure.

I’m referring to between the ears. You can get away with low basketball IQ in high school / AAU. You get on the big stage, everything is moving faster, so much information to process on the court. I believe it’s too much for some of our guys regardless of their physical skills.

Constantly going under screens or not hedging is Exhibit A. I can’t believe this hasn’t been addressed a million times in practice. If I’m wrong, I guess Red is worse than I thought and I already don’t think he’s going to figure it out.

So we somehow got the stupid players on top of everything else??

That’s officially the last time I ever perform math on this board for the rest of my life.

This board is a cesspool of negativity

You reinforce the info during a timeout during the game, that's part of being the head coach.

Did Red not do that?

He had 2 timeouts to double down.

You think Eddie screwing up screen defense repeatedly hasn’t been addressed in practice or during timeouts? At some point, Eddie has to execute. Probably paying him too much to bench him.

LOL, like I said, I’m probably reaching. We are stuck with Red next year so looking for any hope next year could be improved.

Occam's razor...

When D1 players do the same stupid stuff over and over, it's in probably not the players.

This isn't 8th grade modified ball.

 

[SpringsCuse]

Two titans of the game battling for 15th place in the conference. You love to see it

It was kind of like watching Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.

 

[IthacaMatt]

A battle of 2 equally inept teams. Neither able to seize the game. But it's sure better to win than lose.
BC tying 3 at end of regulation was another Red special. Up 3 with a few seconds left how do you allow BC to inbound and give the shooter behind the arc 5 feet of open space? Good grief. Coming out of a timeout that's terrible coaching.

Up 7 at one point in OT.

So dramatic.

The team is 11-13 and we have 0 Q1 wins and 1 Q2 win.

What do you want to be positive about?
We're literally battling for the WORST TEAM IN THE ACC.

 

[djcon57]

Note that it was also said REPEATEDLY on the board this offseason by idiot fans that teams would put Eddie in the blender non stop because our guards can't guard and Eddie can't rim protect and, sure enough, that's what happens. Every game.

 

[BuffOrange]

The last line I saw before game time was Syr -8.5. So someone taking BC and the 8.5 must be in agony after being so close to winning the bet four times.

I had +7.5 with parlayed with a Devonte Smith prop. Brutal.

 

[PhatOrange]

I do wonder why Moore who was having his best game in weeks only played 17 minutes. Kid was 3-3 from the arc. Was surprised when he was pulled out even in the first half. I think he had all 11 of his points then. Reds management of the bench remains a mystery to me.

 

[AZOrange]

Ok somebody is going to have to spill the beans on the Boeheim vs 75 team beef. As much as we have suffered this season we deserve the lowdow.

What is this about?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

CW games suck.
Had to wait for a recording.

Very disconcerting to be up 5 with a minute remaining and then notice the recording still had an hour to go. Kinda spoiled the (not-so-much-of-a-)surprise of the regulation ending. Would have predicted someone hitting a three with JJ defending either way, though.

We actually did a few things much better (than usual) today. First half showed a lot of ball movement. Crisp, decisive passing. Unselfishness. And McLeod had a really nice run. Moore had a really nice run.

And then they didn’t play in the second half or three overtime periods. That’s… um… baffling.

Sucks to be even with a team with a worse record. At home. Battling for the last ACC tournament spot. The Pity Bowl.

Was there a reason that JB didn’t show for the Final Four tribute?

Did anyone notice if Chance was on the bench? I didn’t see him, but I was fast-forwarding through all the stoppages.

 

[hungrychuck]

This was like watching a fight between two drunk hobos.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

I'm glad we won, but Red needs to take the high road and walk away. If he cares about SU, he understands that he is not the coach that gets us to where we should be. He isn't the guy, there is no shame in that. Let's get a great coach in there.

No one quits a 3million dollar job without a more lucrative offer. And he’s never going to get a matching or more lucrative offer.

The best anyone does in this situation is to vow and try to be better going forward. I don’t doubt he’ll try. He's a competitor and probably also rationalizes this as a fault of talent. No one close to him is going to tell him he doesn’t know how to coach. Even JB is telling media he needs more time and more NIL. Who’s he going to listen to, a HoFer or a bunch of <6’5” internet warriors?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

My 10 yo son said the S word for the first time around me after that three went in. "Are you shttng me?!" And I didn't even get mad because I felt the same way.

"Indeed, son, they are."

of course not, but Red is not the answer. The most we can hope for is he replaces at least 2/3 of his staff with coaches that can actually coach. It still doesn't make Red a good coach, but the right guys in those positions would make us at least competitive.

Yeah, I saw him. He was right in front of the camera during one of the cuts to a commercial or timeout.

 

[JustPherU]

What is this about?

One of the insiders on here mentioned that JB and the 75 Final Four team have some kind of beef but he couldn’t or wouldn’t talk about it.
I definitely understand his position, but I’m just being nosy and want the dirt.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Cool.
Thank you.
