Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

They are playing against out guys, remember. There is always the possibility that: 1) it was an anomaly, and/or 2) there are off court reasons they are not playing.

Yes, I totally get it. Thats why I say what do I really know! Nada! However, I saw what I saw and it leads me to believe there IS off court stuff going on in some cases.
I was actually impressed with Anthony the walk on, not to play here but certainly gave JQ fits. Seems like a kid that could go down about 2 notches and do very well.
Niagara or Siena good.

I’m surprised nobody thought to ask this question before.

WHEN is he going to show up?

Westry looks like he's done good work in the weight room.

It’s rarely carried over to games for either of them. I played with a guy in HS who was a dead Reggie Miller ringer in practice, but when he got in a game he could not hit anything. Practice speed is not the same as game speed.

I dont disagree at all. But he was dominating players that start and others playing minutes, at some point lets see how that player handles game speed, considering before yesterday correct me if im wrong he has played less than 4 minutes this year.
There are alot of different variables most of which I have no clue, however I am curious to see if the cream rises to the top as the way I see things.

Yeah we've seen Cuffe in a decent amount of game action, and I can't say he's done much to have me clamoring for him getting more minutes. He's a plus defender, for sure, but he's a tweener at this level, which isn't ideal.

He is a tweener, but what game action are you referring to?
Must be last year? I personally saw some flashes of a quality role player misused. If I was a player and I spent a whole year working on my game but wasnt given a chance based on last year? I would conclude that my coach was stubborn and not very good.
Especially after watching the performance of some in games. Last game accörding to the box score at least, he was more productive in 5min than someone else in 19. Also, defensive energy was a very clear huge boost.
To me there is no defense for Cuffe having now 9 minutes through 6 games with the poor play in front of him. He may be a tweener but he plays bigger than he is.
Im thinking his role will be more defined from here, get more minutes and prove to be a valuable piece to the improvement of this team.


Maybe stubborness is something holding Coach back. I for sure wouldnt have rolled out the starting lineup in the 2nd half against Cornell. Im not alone, I heard a simultaneous gasp when it happened.

That’s the problem. Practices should be game speed or you’re just going through the motions. Practices should be harder than games, not the reverse.
