Colgate Postgame

[MGraves5]

So...it's a win. Playing like crap. Hopefully we grow each game.

I was hoping they grew from the first to second game. Didn't look like they did...

 

[djcon57]

I just don't see what Mike Waters saw when he told the guys here we'd be good.

This is just not a talented team. It was obvious when we were being scolded in the offseason, we were getting second tier portal guys.

The only way it was going to work is if Bell and JJ made the leap and they look like the EXACT same players.

Hoping for Red's sake this doesn't meltdown.

 

[UpstateSM]

Seems like we're very passive.

I'm hoping that's not a Red trait.

It's an end of the JB era trait.

Crazy that it carried over

HUGE WIN!!!! OMG I BELIEVE! THIS TEAM IS AMAZBALLS!!! COLGATE IS REALLY GOOD.. MAYBE EVEN FINAL FOUR GOOD!!

I have been hearing some palpable buzz out there saying that 3 CNY teams could be in the Sweet 16 this year.

 

[richmondcuse03]

this could be the worse defensive team we have had, even when we played 2-3.

bell and moore struggle to move side to side. lampkin is cooked on P&R and doesn’t even have enough in him to move over a few steps and attempt to block (or be there already).

and to emphasize the points others have said, this is wear a guy like judah mintz or quadir is missed. no guard can penetrate the paint when we need a bucket.

also why are we going under in every screen ?? and why didn’t we readjust.

Devo was so mad…he called out the lack of help defense and the awful defense on screens every possession. I don’t get how we can be that bad.

I love when a Syracuse Colgate game has to come down to hoping their player trips over their own feet on the final possession. That tells me we have arrived.

 

[Sbucketball]

I hate to say it because I’ve been very supportive of my guy, but the last two games are making me question coaching. I hope our problems aren’t bigger than this season.

 

[Orange315]

coaching staff needs to be fired.

 

[phil77]

That was about as bad as it could be. I didn't think we could play worse than we did against LeMoyne but I was wrong.

Talent level is bad
Coaching level is bad

We are not close

Bell at least is passing better and putting it on the floor.

JJ's defense is comical. He went backwards somehow.

 

[tptcuse]

I am not going to be happy if Red makes excuses in the presser.

 

[Janner]

It hasn't been fun to be a Syracuse fan since Buddy's run in the ncaa tournament, ugh

 

[Lukeyloo]

Seriously questioning Red’s ability to do the job. This is the worst Cuse team I’ve seen. Worse than the Jimmy Boeheim team. At least that team could score in bunches. The defense is simply atrocious.

 

[zilo]

If we had this exact same group of players...but they were coached by a Tony Bennet, Jay Wright, Rick Pitino, ect...do you think we would be a lot better? Serious question

 

[djcon57]

Sigh… it’s weird that in 2 games so far this team just feels like a nothing burger

Yeah I felt nothing at the end of that game. Like the end of a Dino football season. Not good.

When you CONTINUALLY allow a guy to drive from beyond the three point line to the basket without help, you have no concept of defense. To be fair, we also don't have an offense. This free wheeling, let the players play BS, is non-coaching. You have to teach the guys what their responsibilities are.

Yea JJ is a huge disappointment thus far.

 

[cuseattle]

There's room for improvement everywhere, but Moore's going to be good I think.

 

[jdubs30]

The only 2 good things -

1. Choppa
2. Red showing a willingness to stick with Choppa down the stretch over the veteran guards. It tells me he will go with the hot hand

Cusefan0307 is often proven correct over time.

 

[JustPherU]

Hopefully Carmelo is keeping Kiyan from watching Cuse basketball this season.

 

[sufan59]

We got to be the worst 2-0 team in College Basketball. Massive improvement needed!

Yes, but that could be said about most teams.

 

[orange7]

The better Gerry does really makes me a little envious. He’s 3-0 and his teams are playing fundamentally sound. I don’t have faith in Red. At all.

Honestly, it's coaching. Red can be head coach, but we need assistants that know how to coach basketball AND recruit.
