EMU Game Thread...

[SC Orange]

Yes, but I’m not sure we can even call it an “offense”, that would be too much of a compliment!

It's offensive

 

[PauliePeppas]

Feed Brissett at the key and let em go to work. Dont wanna deal with Frank shooting 2-15 from three

 

[cuse10]

If Battle keeps settling, it will be a long game.

 

[JeremyCuse]

If Frank can't make wide open 3's this team has no chance this year. The reason this team has struggled so bad the last few weeks offensively is that he must be shooting 10% from deep.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

I'm speechless. I have... no speech.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Offense doing the same old thing...our ball movement is terrible

 

[SoBeCuse]

Wow...the offense is getting worse.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

There are games when we look like we think we need to 'bring it.' And there are games when we look like we think we can just roll out of bed and beat people.

 

[cuse10]

Howard and Battle don't know how to play against a zone. Troubling the lack of movement. They keep swinging the ball at the top of the perimeter playing hot potato.

 

[MiniCuse]

Good size knot on that dude's head.

 

[orange79]

Wow...the offense is getting worse.

Well, to be fair, we are shooting 66.7% from inside the arc.

 

[SUFan44]

When your “PG” just stands there, accepts the ball, assesses with the ball for 1-2 seconds, then makes the easy pass to the wing, your offense against a zone is going to look like this.

 

[Alsacs]

Again we don’t do anything differently.
Teams actually scout and prepare for the opponent.
Ergo our “offense” isn’t hard for the opppnent to stop.
We want to win on defense and low possession games.

Yup, when he’s not making shots, we’re just awful.

 

[hoopsupstate]

They have no options on offense. The lane is completely clogged up and when you don’t have any shooters, this is what you get. The high post is not an option because the off guard is dropping down. SU will have to do a lot of screening against the zone and not just on the top.

What the hell goes on in practice then?

Its the offensive sets and the lack of offensive players and honestly offensive skill. I love the hustle and plays we get from Moyer/Dolezaj and Chukwu but there all black holes offensively save for one a game and a half by Moyer. Were essentially playing 3 on 5 on offense and Frank who was on fire from Deep the first 2-3 weeks of the season has gone as cold as the temps outside.

Running a half court offense isn’t our forte.

Honestly JB might as well play that D3 transfer guard if he is any sort of a shooter, we just have nothing besides Top 3 and Frank and Tyus the last game have been running hot and cold shooting wise.

 

[SUintheVille]

Please hit a 3 sometime soon.

 

[justgold315]

First team to 50 wins

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Our band name would be Chukwu and the Chuckers.

 

[Alsacs]

8 points in 10 minutes is just awful.
This opponent has no height and we aren’t running.

 

[orange79]

First team to 50 wins

That assumes someone will reach 50

 

[cuseinseattle]

First team to 30 wins

 

[cuse10]

They continue to settle for jump shots. This is bad coaching by Boeheim. Period.
