Buddy suspended for Duke

[FloridaFan]

That FL St player pushed Buddy first so Buddy reacted by punched him on the stomach. Don't think he punch him with force though. More likely an warning. Leave me alone. Play fair.

Just stop

Can we get some odds on if he will return next season?
What better opportunity to change plans?

 

[sutomcat]

Can we get the officials suspended as well?
How do they not go to the monitor when it took place?

This, like all things, is at least 67% Teddy Valentine’s fault.

Don't see it unless things fall apart. And we don't want that.

We will need Jimmy to transform into Buddy, Cole to keep the hot hand, Joe to show all that he's a threat as an undersized 2 guard, Symir to play the way he did today, Frank and Sidibe to play big and defend and rebound, Duke to look past us and not show up to play, and a little bit of luck sprinkled on top of that Cuse post season magic. Let's go Orange!

I love your optimism but Duke will never look past us! They are steaming hot about their loss to Carolina, and they will be on a mission from God, um, I mean, Coach K.

What sucks is this kid’s career is over if we lose.
Between this and the Miami Senior game it honestly sucks.

Kid deserved to leave his sneakers on the court at the end of his last game.

He does.

But he also deserves the suspension.

It sucks. Between his Dad/Coach besieged with negativity, his Mom getting robbed at gun point less than a week ago and not really having much help this year to play his true game, I can only imagine the frustration that built up in him.

I honestly wish he could have one more game, but barring a 1980 Olympic Hockey miracle, it ain’t happening.

Damn.

 

[dasher]

Like everything else this year, we did it to ourselves.

 

[kcsu]

If we can pull this off, it will rank up there with the 6 OT game ending with walk on playing.

This would be a top 5 upset of all time

 

[storange]

He deserved to be suspended. Right call. Doesn't matter if the FSU guy shoved you or put his shoulder in. Don't retaliate and punch him.

Buddy is a good kid I'm sure this will tear him up.

Fair enough, if Duke or UNC were the team involved they would overlook it, no doubt in my mind whatsoever.

 

[rrlbees]

IF we get invited to the NIT, I think this changes JBs mind about accepting or not.

 

[Dinkyspond]

So do we see any potential in Benny returning?

wasn't able to watch game. Was Benny on the bench? His absence Saturday was noticed and somewhat conspicuous.

These are 18-21 year old kids, I wouldn’t put it past them to read the headline of “top player on syracuse is out”

 

[tino]

Worst tweet I ever read, what a fing moron

Agree.

He’s home, had surgery

 

[br801]

He does.

But he also deserves the suspension.

Damn.

There is no longer a requirement that NIT teams have a .500 record or better.

Who knew my first post in the game thread of "Buddy appeared to punch that old man in the stomach" would lead to this.

 

[RF2044]

PS -- Duke, too

 

[Manleymen]

C'mon man, he hit him hard and displayed a hateful look on his face. He got away with it for awhile. And then - the replay does not lie. Can't spin it.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Joe is going for 40 tomorrow. Book it.


...or like 1-15, but lets hope for the best

Now Joe and Swider will get covered by their best defensive players. Good luck.

 

[Jake]

The FSU player said he told the officials that he got hit in the stomach….and they just ignored him.

 

[tino]

Can we get the officials suspended as well?
How do they not go to the monitor when it took place?

If they didn't call it shouldn't be reviewed. They blew it. He should not suffer for it

 

[br801]

And I thought lots of people here wanted our players to display hateful looks on their faces.

 

[orangezen]

Will he be able to sit on bench ?

 

[br801]

Will he be able to sit on bench ?

No.

 

[TeamGlasses]

Only way is to shoot the lights out again - Girard has to look like Gmac against BYU when he dropped 40. Swider needs to have another 30+ and Sidibe and Anselem need to stay out foul trouble while also containing Banchero! Tall task but big game shows real men are
