Holy Cross thread

[jordoo]

I think we have a very good team but we will not know how good it is until we player better teams than Colgate and Holy Cross.

Yep and we are still fitting the pieces together so it's good we have a few easy ones to start out. We need them this year.

Not everyone is ready to test themselves early with Wagner and Northeastern.

 

[Dave85]

I think White likes playing for the Orange. He's a really good player. He's going to do really well this year with this team. Good choice to transfer.

 

[SUforme]

That is my thought exactly. But it's hard not to be a little Orange drunk the way AW3 is shooting.

Absolutely!

 

[JoeSU]

White is being exposed

 

[HOFCeluck]

I don't think it is. We are playing a bad team and we are wearing them out rotating bigger more athletic guys. The zone has improved from game 1 to 2 but it's still a work in progress IMO.

That's fair. Probably should've qualified by saying game two. Thought we'd be worse.

 

[Dave85]

Wisconsin on the 29th will be the first real test.

Yep, we need these warm-up games.

 

[Dave85]

They need to feed White the ball more when he goes 3-3 from 3 at the start of a game.

 

[Dave85]

White is going to have 30+ game this season. Maybe more than one.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Wisconsin on the 29th will be the first real test.

USC will be a test imo.

 

[pearl31]

so hard to tell too much from these games... but geez the ease with which this team has scored tonight and the first game... wow

 

[Cuse House]

Although it is Holy Cross, still think we are a top 5 team. When you have 9 guys who can play well in college basketball, that's a challenge for any team. And we have shooters, I am watching Kentucky and MSU and they can't shoot for crap.

 

[MattOB]

Who tf is beating us this year seriously?

Not sure...but definitely not Holy Cross.

 

[kmart128]

This Syracuse team is the most complete team ive ever seen. We have shooters, shot blockers, ball distributors, players that can drive and finish, rebounders, youth, experience, great coaching, length, depth... ive never seen a more perfectly balanced team. So much better than last years final 4 team.

 

[Dave85]

Lydon for 3!!!!

Idk that Malik Monk kid is shooting well for for Kentucky. He's no Uncle drew though

One guy, we would pack the paint.

 

[NYCSUGrad]

Game is great except for the announcers. Roosevelt Bouie is just so bland and not excitable IMO.

Put on Matt Park and Jim Satalin on the radio! Even if the action and sound aren't synced, listening to their repartee and knowledge ought to compensate for that IMO.

 

[doc05]

It feels like watching an all-star team.

 

[MattOB]

You're dang right we would

 

[MattOB]

The ball...it just refuses to touch the rim

 

[cliftonparksufan]

USC will be a test imo.

USC is in a battle with Monmouth

 

[jordoo]

I'm convinced, Andrew White was the best one and done we could get this year. He's a perfect fit after losing Mal and he is experienced.

 

[Dave85]

Gillon with a work of art!

 

[Trueblue25]

wow we're good
