I said at the beginning it would be seven and if Sid is out for an extended period I think it will be 6.
yeah.If anyone is making predictions after this game you have no business slamming folks who said 8-9 will play.
I'm looking to the next game to get a read on this team. Nothing about this game made sense including why we would play a game two days after a CoVid pause. I am disgusted and embarrassed by what we saw but the good riddance type of posts are far worse than how deep our bench will go posts.
We lost an exhibition to LeMoyne once. We almost lost to a team at that level when it counted. Game 2 will tell us a lot more. Quit throwing stones and no one hop off a cliff. I am not saying don't have your best diving form ready- but not time to jump just yet.
Hey, one of them he got fouled, and one of the other ones he got swatted pretty soundly if I recall.yeah.
hard to take much from this game
other than we got us another ambitious-ridiculous-dunk-attempter-who-invariably-misses-said-attempt in AG to join the likes of Triche, Gbinije, Batttle...
imo, it was a combo of reasons:I don't understand why Kadary did not get off the bench in the 2nd half. If Girard was having even a decent game I would have understood but he was horrible on both ends of the court. Obviously he won't be this bad on offense in most games but his defense was atrocious. He can't stop penetration and can't cover the 3-point line. WiIl be interesting how he plays in the next game.

I agree with both your points, but what ever happened to sitting a guy for a few minutes to let him reset? I am not one to usually question coaching, but it was brutal for a long stretch and pulling out the win doesn’t justify the decision to stick with a struggling player so long. Take him out for 5 minutes, see what Kadary can do.imo, it was a combo of reasons:
- jb's play to win mode which for him means locking in w his tried/true/veteran lineup
- jb deciding that jgIII needed to learn lesson by playing thru the sh__ he was having
It was his birthday after allI agree with both your points, but what ever happened to sitting a guy for a few minutes to let him reset?

Looked like he’s ready for his AARP card.It was his birthday after all
Later in the season: Act 7, Scene 3-
"Yeah, but...
(1) "Kadary is not all that good- I mean just look at his productivity in game 3, game 8, game 12, and game 17, He came in for 5 mins , missed 3 shots & had 2 turnovers. I mean, you HAD to sit him, amirite?
(2) " JG has more experience. You have to let him "play through it". Besides, he makes "big" shots when it counts.
(3) Buddy had 21 pts. So what if he gave up 22, he still needs to be out there to "stretch" the floor.
(4) Braswell, well Braswell is rusty. He missed 3 shots!!! How are you supposed to give him any time when QG and AG need to learn to play together?
(5) Frank is a freshman, and the other guy...he's just not ready. We have no choice. even in year 3...to play Marek at the 5. Who could've known Sidibe would twist an ankle"?
Aaaannnnd...scene!
Did I miss anything?
It's hilarious that you think this game provided supporting 'evidence' for your claim.It’s not about the players (Or alleged lack of players) on the bench.
it’s the same shtick every year for like 15 years now.
Number 2 is always my favorite. JG gets to play through it. Others? Not so much.
Thanks to the NCAA Girard has 3 more years potentially and Buddy has 2 more years.This is my biggest gripe as well. There is no consistency with who gets to play through games like this.
JG "made shots when it counted" is hilarious since it's his ineptitude that put us there in the first place.
Can you imagine a coach recruiting against us for a guard? "Hey, did you see the game on Friday? Joe Girard has two more years after this and Boeheim, who will be 77 years old when you enroll, wouldn't let Kadary get any burn in the second half while Joe couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. The other guard is his kid."
Exactly. Love having these two guys, but they have their strengths and weaknesses that I won't rehash from dozens of other threads. For now, I'm being optimistic and believing that the promise shown by Kadary will help JB figure this out. Taking anything from this game is a bit silly; JB was going to go full ironman-JB with the subbing if they were down or in a tight game in the second half. The first half was played like an exhibition in terms of substitutions and use of the press.These guys are pieces not superstars.
