BC postgame thoughts

[kingtidge]

Slowalk until the end of season and crickets in an empty dome... Not like this wasn't predicted.

 

[tbonezone]

monumental .

 

[RyanCuse44]

He’d be soooo much better with a different staff.

They all would.

 

[5OutFred]

Hofstra and BC in a make or break year just can't happen. See ya, Red.

 

[CapitalO]

Bad head coach and a mediocre PG. = BIG TROUBLE !!!!!

 

[Cuseregular]

Yep coaching matters.

Been on the fence on the issue for a while, this solidifies it. Not just X’s & O’s nor the 17 turnovers, but no animated presence on the bench toward the end of that game in regulation then overtime to get these players to “raise their Game”, “dig down deep”, or “ rise to the occasion“ or whatever other metaphor one wants to use, this to win a game they should win due to better talent alone. .

These are the type games that expose Bad coaches. And speaking of the X’s and O’s, I mean not fouling up 3 15 seconds left, or at least putting more guys at the three-point line and let them get a two pointer? I mean really, basic stuff

This team not making the tournament is a travesty. And they aint making it now. Today was a death blow.

 

[ezbeezy214]

I will be venting on a lot of platforms so apologies in advance but the general symptoms with this team stems from a lack of cohesive plan offensively. They aren’t disciplined enough to pass back out if intial action is stopped. This team has gotten more careless with the ball as the time goes on. Defensive energy get sapped and transition messier. George and Freeman then take on too much on their back. No one has improved. I had hope in Post Freeman return world, now it’s gone.

 

[Brooky03]

Great effort by Kingz. Tough one for George.

Needed more from Donnie in crucial moments. There were about three plays Donnie could’ve made late in the game to put it away or get us back in it and he didn’t execute on all three. It’s always tough to criticize the star, but this wasn’t his best and he was put in position to make plays.

The coaching was dog crap.

 

[Sbucketball]

For the sake of another topic: #24 Tennessee lost to unranked Kentucky today. May not be ranked next week. Ironically, i think the last time SU stormed the court was against Miami and they ended up having a losing record by the end of the year and were close to last in the ACC. Lol.

 

[sufan59]

So turnovers Syracuse 18 Boston College 8. Horrrible offensive game plan.

 

[tptcuse]

I hate this. It's a terrible time to be a Syracuse sports fan.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Reality is we made a continuity hire and we have indeed had continuity.

 

[Irishsecra1]

This was a game where the players got a bit cocky, thought all they had to do was show up and the game was theirs.
This loss is so much worse than the Hofstra loss.
And that stupid challenge that cost us a timeout.

I have no words.

 

[CardiacCuse]

those early leads are precious...get up by 9 and act like it doesnt matter.

GUESS WHAT? it does!!!!

that first line change substitution killed momentum on offense and energized BC...from that point on they were confident and ready to win

stretch that first lead out to 15 or 20 and SU wins in a laugher...

 

[phil77]

Feel bad Red is a good person by all accounts but this is over and he should be fired today. Almost 3 years of him being a terrilbe head coach and leader of our program both on and off the court.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

No comment on the players. Just let me know when Red is fired and who we’re looking at to be HC.

I was told that JB would have brought the mayhem down if we didn’t hire one of his guys.

Glad we abided by that after his decade long slide to be where we are today. Continuously sliding into oblivion after hiring Red. I guess what we were under threat of is worse than this. Or maybe not and everyone just bowed down to JB.

But at this point, it’s time to fire Red. And get new blood in that has no ties to the JB regime.

Need a fresh start with Melo and Kiyan as the bridge to the program's history.

 

[MikeSU02]

Reality is we made a continuity hire and we have indeed had continuity.

Exactly. But people were apparently what would have happened if we didn’t concede to JB.

Welp. Thanks for acting out of fear.

 

[HyattsCuse]

Red, please go watch what Mike Tomlin did last weekend and realize what you have to do.

Thanks for your service, but Syracuse needs better.

 

[CardiacCuse]

This was a game where the players got a bit cocky, thought all they had to do was show up and the game was theirs.

I have no words.

that double turnover by george at the end of regulation was pathetic

curious to see what happened on the last 7 seconds of the game - looked like George got absolutely hammered in the lane but the camera was inexpicably not on the action and didnt see a replay

 

[Briancuse]

Fire autry

 

[BlackSquirrels]

Blowing a 7-point lead to BC with under 3 minutes to go? This feels like

 

[tptcuse]

Need a fresh start with Melo and Kiyan as the bridge to the program's history.

I just can't see how anyone stays. I think this will be a complete rebuild.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

George may be the physically weakest player we have ever seen - Kiyan can get a pass because hie is a first year

 

[phil77]

Need a fresh start with Melo and Kiyan as the bridge to the program's history.

Have to keep Melo and Kiyan for the NIL and public support but I am not going to Melo to get his input on any coaching decision I am making the best decision for Syracuse long term not short term
