Cornell Postgame

[Dinkyspond]

I’m thinking it might be more than 12. Cuse was around a 10 point underdog on neutral court vs Texas and Texas Tech. A true road game at a much better Tennessee team has to be worth more than 2 points.

wow, could it be as high as +15, that shows how far we have fallen, it's almost like a mid-major going in there.

Well, by definition a two way player has to contribute on offense. Otherwise he’s a one way player, d only.

I agree, and until tonight I wasn't sure if he could score like at all. Not a lot of shots tonight either but 3-5 from the field with some free throws and 9pts is about all he should need to be doing most nights.

 

[Sherman20]

Absolutely, and I’m not sure Petar will be effective against good teams. At least not this year.

The Carlos experiment has to end.

Agreed. Carlos has been terrible, and I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for him. We cannot play him unless Choppa and Taylor aren’t doing anything.

I thought it was a bad shot and we should have taken more time off the clock. I don't think we had anybody underneath to rebound a miss either. It was one of those, "No, no, no, Yes!" shots. It took a lot of cajones for the freshman to take it. The way his night was going it's no surprise he hit it.

It may not have been the wisest shot ever, but we definitely had a couple guys there to potentially grab rebound:

Audacity.
It's what you need as a young gun. This kid is awesome and works hard for it. Moore of him.

Something more than his typical low-effort sulking must be up with Bell. He was absurdly out of it. And really Stsrling was too. Like it was almost surreal watching the two of them tonight - JJ turned it around ever so slightly in the 2nd half but he was still just... barely there. I get all the consternation abt Carlos thru 6 games but tonight if one of Bell or Starling had just been adequate we win that game by 20

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

It’s amazing to me what poor choices the transfers are turning out to be. JC requires no further discussion. Lampkin is hurt. To be honest is anyone shocked? J Davis could be a good player if he didn’t think he was PJ Tucker/Grant Williams, you’re a terrible three point shooter don't shoot them. Lucas is fine for the role he is playing. Play Choppa and Donnie as much as possible. See if JJ can play anything resembling a point guard. Hope Eddie gets healthy. Then clean house. Bring back Choppa and Petar and start fresh.

I wouldn’t take the Orange at +25

Oh I didn’t hate the shot at all. A 4 point game with 90 secs left and 24 on the shot clock isn’t necessarily stall ball time in my opinion, as long as you have an open look like that. Onions, you might say.

 

[pwong]

Cuffe played well and created a couple turnovers in maybe 4 minutes why are you taking shots at him? Starling doesn't even try on D most of the time.

Because he's not a point guard

 

[two3zone]

JJ can't go 3-17 in any more games this year. There is no way you allow someone to miss that many shots in a game.

JJ shouldn't take 17 shots unless he is having lucky streak, he's not a great finisher, he's not a great three point shooter, he shoots a lot of mid range shots with a hitch and is a dreadful free throw shooter, why is he getting that many shots?

Because Red set it up that way. Look at how the offense was run the entire second half, it was setup for JJ to take over. He's not that guy and never will be.

 

[two3zone]

Carlos seems to be running away from the ball at times and going to the corner where he is useless because he can’t shoot threes. Contrary to what Red said in his presser Carlos is not getting guys open looks. And on defense, his defensive field goal percentage against on three-pointers must be sky high. Guys are just shooting over him with ease.

I think Carlos can't see over his defender, I don't know how he did ar Hofstra or there was a better ran offense.
