BC postgame thoughts

[tbonezone]

losses to BC and Hofstra ...just a flesh wound . fatal yes . but keep kicking ...

 

[CardiacCuse]

The worst part about George’s turnovers are the fact that 90 percent is completely unavoidable. He plays with weak IQ.

you mean avoidable? with that i agree

 

[Sherman20]

Straughn

All the coaches on the staff are worse than Red.

 

[Sherman20]

Wait, I said I would not get Melo's input on any coaching decision?

Sorry, my bad. My white hot rage about this loss has made me not able to read straight. Infuriating. I very much agree with you.

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

Kiyan doesn’t get a pass. He’s been awful. No help at all. The freshman excuse thing doesn’t hold in today’s world anymore. Sadiq sucked too today.

 

[phil77]

Man that press conference was just as bad as the game. You can really tell he has zero answers on the Xs and Os aspect of the game. L5 this energy that blah blah

 

[Forloveoforange]

Isnt this the second time Red lost to BC? Lost to them with Judah right? Gross

BC at home (SU) in OT was when our drop started after 25 and 0 in February, 2014.

cuz boeheim always had so many answers in the post presser ?
" we need to make more shots. and you're stoopid I'm not "

I feel like if I put myself in their shoes they do that when they are overthinking and unsure of the game plan.

I think when your base offense is 4 out iso, the guys have a lot of pressure to make individual plays. If the off-ball guys stand around (which seems to be what happens most of the time) it's very easy for the defense to defend with help.

Kiyan played like hot garbage.

His minutes should be cut.

 

[tbonezone]

pretty sad when you can't ISO against BC. they are 4-20 ACC last 2 years. bottom feeders. (like us )

 

[Cusefan0307]

We should have a 6.5 man rotation. Betsey and .5 Souare. That’s what JB would do. Too much time on the bench today for Donnie, Kyle and Kingz.

 

[Archimedes]

For what these guys are getting paid, you'd think they would try a little harder.

Kiyan should be a lot more productive given the hype.

 

[AlaskaSU]

donnie also had 7 turnovers vs BC!

hes been doing it all ACC as well...just all that scoring masked it somewhat (even though i noticed it too)

overall

reds offense is EXTREMELY easy to defend - opponents know exactly what these guys are trying to do every time down the floor

last 10 minutes of games SU goes ISO mode and just takes turns going 1 on 1 - a holdover of JB strategy

but if the driver is bottled up they have no outlet and opponents know what is going and cover the passing lanes...it leads to a lot of bad shots and a lot of turnovers - youre seeing it more in ACC play bc these guys already have red very well scouted

In the Big East JB consistently won close games and overtime games.

Exactly!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He is a system PG playing in an ISO offense without any identity or movement.

I can buy that reducing his assist totals, but his turnovers are often comically bad.

 

[tbonezone]

JB had 40 something trys to win the title with the same program . did it once.

 

[Fly Rodder]

I can buy that reducing his assist totals, but his turnovers are often comically bad.

I think he’s being asked to do something he’s not used to, creating or being a playmaker. I think in general he can be a good passer if he knows where the ball is supposed to go. Too often he has to decide how to drive the offense.

I’m worry if they decided they wanted a PG to run the offense and just went with the guy with best assist numbers last season without regard for play style.

Nice photo from the game

We should give Red 37 more seasons and see what happens

 

[tptcuse]

All the coaches on the staff are worse than Red.

Yeah, I figured that. We're doomed.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Pardon me?

Yep and maybe a little over that.

 

[CardiacCuse]

and?

doesnt make everything he did perfect. theres a reason he was fired.

im talking about 1 aspect of what he did that red has copied - iso heavy offense late in games. i dont like it

i wouldn't say JB was fired. he was politely asked to please move on. a couple times.

 

[IthacaMatt]

17 turnovers

Yeah, it was mostly George's and Donnie's TOs that cost us the game.
