Cuffe changed the game….

[Millhouse]

It pisses me off that Cuffe collected splinters while Carlos was playing 35 minutes a game.

Autry is really bad
It was crazy this took so long, so many people here saw it

I’m not sure how much could be seen on TV, but when he finally came in, he was physical with Burton and at least slowed him down.

That allowed us to chip away and get the lead under 10 at half. Nobody else had been able to keep him out of scoring position.

He’s has a toughness about him that was contagious today. Picking up Burton just over half court and making the passing angles tougher. He didn’t stuff the stat sheet, but he was effective as hell.

He needs consistent minutes.

Burton had 20 points in the first 12 minutes and only eight after that. I thought I was going to have nightmares if I heard "Burton for 2" or "Burton for 3" one more time. It was like our defenders were afraid to get in his face.

Fortunately, Cuffe and company figured it out to get it under ten at halftime and thank god for any adjustments that Red made at halftime that our guys finally played like a team.

Damn really talk myself into that this guy is only going to get better. That’s a big deal for this program.

He’s contributing effort..but offensively he hasn’t really brought it. He’s shooting less than 35 percent from the floor and less than 30 from three.

The team is so devoid of talent that he probably is one of our better players. But those numbers aren’t great.

Careful, you're dangerously close to being arrogant enough to think you know more than Red... and that's the kind of message board banter that has caused the team to crater.

Also, start donating more or shut up.

(Did I do that right Dcuse ?)

Mostly I was excited to say what the hell a bunch.

 

[walsh2012]

Also what the hell are you doing asking me what the hell I'm dumping on Carlos for? In my original post I only commented on how many minutes Carlos was playing, I made no commentary that would be considered dumping on him.

Like, what the hell man?

Yeah hell damn fart

Would’ve he have even gone to Kansas if he got an offer from Syracuse under Boeheim? Maybe too short for the zone idk? 247 shows he attended our school camp, but no offer. He clearly bleeds orange because he transferred to Cuse under Autry after not offering him in HS.

Boeheim’s fault again

I've been on the Cuffe train all season, PLEADING for more minutes. He's far from great, but with the team we have, he should be on the court a LOT.

 

[Nicknack]

One more thing about Cuffe... HE HIT 10 FOR 10 FROM THE FT LINE WHEN EVERYONE ELSE SUCKED BUTT FROM THE LINE. We did everything we could do to lose this game by missing free throws. It was sooooo painful to watch. As a team, we were 62% and that is with Cuffe's 10/10. That's insane.

SAME!! I've said from this team for next year only players I'd like back were Cuffe , Freeman and Peter.. I took some flack for saying cuffe.. like I said before Bill Self liked the kid enough to give him a scholarship .

Lost all respect for Red with the way he treated Cuffe earlier in the year. It was shameful. He kept that BS up even when JJ was out.

It took me witnessing 1 practice Nov 1st to see that Cuffe would be a huge part of whatever success this team has. I made it pretty well known around here.
I just don't understand Coach.

I heard secondhand that he was very disappointed not get interest from Syracuse when he was in high school.
