Cj fair is the reason we won

[Marsh01]

Huge 5 points down 6. Give him credit also. Wow

Wow

I was just about to post the same thing.

 

[Ghost]

Yeah, even in a few games where he played poorly in the second half (one of the Maui games comes to mind), he always seems to hit those shots once we get under 5:00.

Props to CJ for being a great finisher

 

[moqui]

without a doubt. Tyler can't get the last 5 unless CJ gets the first 5.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Also Christmas for playing smart and staying on the floor all night.

Total team win.

 

[orangeinohio]

He did a great job of showing that Patterson can't play defense.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Boy did he look smooth on that 3 and pull up

Another monster play was Rak posting up and kicking out to Trevor - we were down 7 or 9 and that really cut their run

 

[moqui]

without a doubt. Tyler can't get the last 5 unless CJ gets the first 5.

they did it that way in honor of your #5 Jersey, Marsh.

so, really, you were the one who won it.

Rak did not commit one foul all night - total en joke when he had three fouls

 

[MGP]

I was saying that all game. CJ was asleep for 35 minutes. I said to my son he has 5 minutes here to prove why he's an All-American. AA's can take a crappy game and come up big when it counts. Young Carl heeded my advice - 24-0...

 

[Madbiker]

Give Silent G some props. Super sub. Guy played 22 minutes...at 3 different positions. SG, PG, SF. Plays good defense, scores 7 points and grabs 4 rebs. Nice job.

Yeah entirely true, Ennis is gonna walk away with all the media credit but don't think the Syracuse locker room doesn't know that so much of it was CJ. But overall from Gbinaje's first half and defensive effort to Rakeem Christmas unbelievable poise and defense to Grant's big time defense and buckets to Cooney's dagger threes... this is what separates this Orange team from the rest. Not the talent but the poise and team effort night in and night out. Let's go boys this is a night to remember

 

[Marsh01]

Thanks partner.

 

[JohnCuse44]

Everyone on the team is why we won tonight!

 

[NateW]

I think the Danny Schayes autographed shaky potato deserves some credit here too.

Coach Mike Hopkins ‏@Coach_Hopkins 29m
CJ Fair made 2 huge shots and how about Mike Gbinije? He was really valuable tonight and getting better everyday.

 

[CiceroCuse]

I gotta throw some love to Silent G as well. 7 big points in the first half and probably a career high in minutes played at the 1,2 and 3.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I watched the game with a guy who only watches a few games a yesr. He immediately said of Fair, at the end, that you never notice his contributions but they are so timely. Fair is clutch and he is the heart of this team.

 

[RF2044]

Team effort. Entire team deserves credit for persevering in a tough environment when we were shorthanded and getting boned by the officials.

But you are right--CJ and Ennis have been clutch all season long.

Some teams are lucky to have one guy with the cajones to make plays in pressure situations. We have two.


Let's Go Orange!!!

 

[LennX6]

without a doubt. Tyler can't get the last 5 unless CJ gets the first 5.

Don't forget the money 3's by Cooney.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

Great team effort. Wow. CJ won't let this team lose...next stop NCCstate.

FWIW, Ennis' shot matches Pearl's...wow...

I can't believe Grant survived. He spent half the game having his arms pulled, the other half on the floor. One play in the 2nd it looked like he was being run over by a Buffalo Herd.

 

[LennX6]

Great team effort. Wow. CJ won't let this team lose...next stop NCCstate.

FWIW, Ennis' shot matches Pearl's...wow...

Pearl's was more half court, but I thought the same thing. This was a bigger game. Our games are big time theatre.

Yep. . . Best game of his SU career

 

[moqui]

They turned out to be some serious mojo taters
