Clemson Postgame

[phil77]

Both these teams are not good, the difference is one of them is definitely a much better coached group of players.

Teams are both not good for different reasons.

Clemson is a talent problem
Syracuse is a coaching problem

 

[Fly Rodder]

Not a terrible loss, but not an enjoyable game to watch.

 

[richmondcuse03]

This is correct. If we switched coaches and kept the same players, we would easily be a top 20 team no doubt in my mind.

Yup. And that’s what frustrates me the most. Gonna waste another season.

 

[Blanko97]

I feel bad for the donors, not only did you waste your money on the players, but you helped protect the worst coach in the P5 to do it

 

[Fly Rodder]

Autry gotta be 1 of the worst coaching hires a big time hoops program has ever had. Hes inept.

Nah, Louisville and Kenny Payne is a tough bar to clear.

 

[LAorange44]

Gee whiz red just has the worst luck!

 

[Orangezoo]

JJ had four points on seven shots.

Can’t wait to argue who he is after this game.

Such a nice kid who should have gone and played on a lower level.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Can’t quarrel with Freeman’s shot.
It wasn’t a bad look and he had the hot hand.

Sad to say it looks like the Orange will have to find a miracle in the ACC tourney to make the NCAA’s
Gmac 2006.
But there’s no GMac this season.

 

[CardiacCuse]

It was clear we had better talent than Clemson. Simply outcoached.

pick a roster: SUs or Clemsons

would anyone here choose clemsons?????????

 

[CardiacCuse]

Kyle was fouled on the inbound. Tripped and taken out of the play. We will never get calls in this league

its corrupt af

 

[Orangezoo]

Wonder why we hired him over Gmac.

Neither would have been good for us. GMac is doing well but still more of a Hop at this level than a guy to lead and turn around a big time program.

 

[sufan59]

Girard knows the deal with coaching

 

[BuffOrange]

How much do we win by if you switched the coaches?

 

[DomeHolmes]

It was clear we had better talent than Clemson. Simply outcoached.

I think we have better talent too, but my fear early in the year( before I knew foul shooting would be our biggest problem) was that we would get big boyed too easily. At the time several posters assured me, this would not be a problem . Today We got bullied in the paint, just like we were bullied by some mid majors. We are athletic, but not big and strong enough. The difference in the game was that we could not stop what they do best.

 

[djorange1989]

Ewing at Gtown. Either way Red stinks

 

[sugrad68]

JJ had four points on seven shots.

Can’t wait to argue who he is after this game.

George did not play well but he did have 6 assists and 6 rebounds. Starling was a minus while on the court. I don’t know what the answer is at SG for this team. But it was great having Donnie back and playing so well.

 

[rychi32]

Neither would have been good for us. GMac is doing well but still more of a Hop at this level than a guy to lead and turn around a big time program.

Maybe. We only know for certain one guy can’t do it. Why was he the guy?

 

[Blanko97]

30, Brownell dreams of teams with this much talent

 

[tbonezone]

J.J played 34 mins. 4 pts 2 asst 3 to's. lousy defender . he's def the weakest link.

 

[Scooch]

Shot 40% from the field, which will harm the already lousy 128 ranking we have there.

Shot a mediocre 33% from three, which *helps* our very lousy 306 ranking.

8 assists on 18 made field goals. We rank 297th for assists, and that’ll get worse after today.

This team’s offense is utterly and completely broken beyond repair with this staff.

 

[grepal]

Outcoached

Yeah, he got crushed coming out of timeouts.

 

[Cuseball]

JJ had four points on seven shots.

Can’t wait to argue who he is after this game.

And he played 34 minutes

 

[Day2]

Girard knows the deal with coaching

He’s a traitor.

…..but the ft #s improved. Haha

Just a horrific loss.
-our starting guards are laughable. JJ and George were a combined 4-16 from the field with 3 incredibly costly turnovers each. One for 5 combined from three. Both had horrific shot selection. Worse both were terrible on the defensive end, particularly in the most critical parts of the game.. They literally cost us the game.
-meanwhile, Kingz is absolutely underutilized. We don’t do anything to get him the ball. He is the best on ball defender on our team. Yet he plays 28 minutes to JJ‘s 34.
-of course we don’t do anything to get anybody the ball. We bring the ball up and give it to Kyle or Souare at the top of the key which effectively kills 15 seconds on the shot clock because neither one of those guys can do anything with the ball out there. There is nothing approaching ball movement, moving without the ball or proper spacing. Our offense is a complete disaster.
-on the bright side Donnie had an incredible second half. As many of us said repeatedly, it was critical for him to get some run against a lesser opponent to knock off the rust. Of course that didn’t happen. Hopefully the second half will be the guy we see the rest of the year. He has to learn that going to the basket is his friend as opposed to the fall away. But he played with heart and clearly cares. We need him to get drafted this year so he doesn’t leave via the portal so we can get some new blood in the league.
-this was the definition of winnable game. We make the same mistakes every game. Guys are not put in a position to succeed and they’re not held accountable, Rooting for this program is in my blood, but it is beyond exhausting and frustrating.
