Gillon deserves props for his play in the second half. Big part of the comeback...on both ends.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Christmas can play the four for this squad.

Seriously. Bring in him. Can't play Rick much moving forward against some athletic forwards/bigs.

Anyone have the Morris interview at half that people are talking about? I missed it!

The replay's on Watch ESPN.

ESPN3/Watch ESPN has the replay of the game up. The interview is at the 40:00 minute mark.

 

[pearl31]

thank god

it does raise the question, though: theoretically if a player's nba team was ok w it, could that player compete in TBT?

He's a booster.

Yes.

Not going to lie for me this was the most satisfying Orange win since we beat UVA in the elite 8.

more than Duke last year?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Ok guys you got me. The good part about this is I wouldn't have been down if we lost.

Just finished watching the game again. The zone was never really the issue. FOE didn't shoot the ball well in the first half and had to work hard to get open looks. Obviously they got complacent with the big lead in the second half, but it's hard to keep up the offensive effort against the zone for an entire game no matter what the score.

I'd say we dug ourselves in a hole because we couldn't make shots and had a ton of unforced errors at the end of the first half. Our man D to start the second half was pretty bad. Blackwell had to figure out the right lineup as well.

Overall, our outside shooting this weekend (other than Dirty today) was horrible. Complete 180 from the first weekend. I don't know, maybe it was the gym?

Team FOE < Team BOE

Rick didn't much today either and he played just about the entire first half. He and Cj are having a really hard time making layups in this tournament.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

What?

Just doesn't put the right lineup in there.

This is over. We won't even score 44.

They need to take Boeheim's name off this. Blackwell's Army. A disgrace to the Boeheim name.

He is a BIG time WINNER

Flacusian...I'm a big Triche fan. Never ever dissed him when he was at SU...you're even a bigger Triche fan than I am.

I'll have to watch it again but I thought defensive rebounding was a huge issue in that 1H. Also Greene going one-on-one were killers. Triche said it in the postgame how they really don't want to be doing that stuff and taking bad shots (cough, Donte). I did think FOE's ball movement was excellent in the 1H. They missed a bunch of looks too.

Also, Syracuse over Kansas again. So chew on that Jayhawk nation.

Rock Choke Jayhawk.

That first half had me thinking about this old spiritual/folk song.

Substitute Boeheim's Army for Pharaoh's Army. (Oh me of little faith)
