Kid needs help , hope he gets it

What in the world is happening

 

[elimunelson]

I don't go to many games a year but at the BC game his energy was really really weird. I was behind the Syracuse bench and he doesn't sit on the bench and is behind the bench.

Kid is out to lunch or has some issues. Wish him the best

Shout out the guy who had this yesterday

Sad situation, but it’s the best for this team.

 

[Nicknack]

Well, this was just a matter of time but still sad. Really disappointing all the way around. For Benny, I doubt he will land a better opportunity than what he had right here. For us as a team, damage has already been done. Beyond basketball, even though Benny got multiple chances and this seems squarely on him, I still feel for the kid.

 

[Giants1973]

Carey to the rescue!!!!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Unfortunate but there have been several chances here.

Good for Red

 

[JeremyCuse]

Felt like this was inevitable unfortunately. Just confirms that Red needs to completely turn the roster over this spring/summer. A portal forward and guard are must haves. Westry actually getting on the court would help as well.

 

[Nicknack]

I hope this doesn't mean JT the rest of the way. Would love to see Cope inserted into the starting lineup.

 

[phil77]

As much as this needed to happen I wish Benny gets the mental help he needs and finds a great situation for himself on and off the court.

 

[UpstateSM]

This never would have happened if his hair wasn't in the way freshman year

 

[Grbac]

Good job Coach Red! Do not put up with this foolishness. I hope this sends a very loud message to the rest of the roster.

 

[MSOrange]

I think this is a good first step if Red really meant what he said in the post game press conference. Just not sure Benny was going to be part of the solution to what Red spoke about, although I hope he matures and get things turned around in his life.

So like, what did he do officially to get to this point

He had been suspended twice before bumping the coach on Saturday.

 

[SUFan44]

There's one scholarship.

 

[SUFan44]

He had been suspended rwice before bumping the coach on Saturday.

It took a lot of restraint by Red to not turn around after Benny purposely bumped him as he walked out.

Benny may need a lot of help, but sometimes some people can't help themselves. This is that case.

Big turning point in this season. One of two things will happen I feel...the team either continues to spiral downward after a blowout loss and losing a teammate mid season. Or, somehow, the team will rally and use this as a pivot point to get back to winning some games and playing solid team basketball as we've seen a few times like against MIA, home BC, NCST, ect. Seasons about to either get way worse or maybe a bit better...

 

[MikeSU02]

Happy for the team. Think this will be addition by subtraction.

Hope Benny lands ok.

Onwards for Cuse.
