I’m done with moral victories

[orangemass]

Let’s win this thing. You want to get get big nil make your free throws and win the game

 

[690West]

Yup, I couldn’t agree more everyone in this community is gonna start talking about how encouraged they are that we kept it close and that’s crap. If you’re the better team on the floor, you need to make your free throws and win the game. I am discouraged if we lose this game, not encouraged

 

[PhatOrange]

How can you not be encouraged though. The defense is 1000x better. The effort, heart, hustle is better than anything I saw all last year.

100 percent. Missing too many foul shots. Lack of discipline on getting back on defense. These things need to be coached and changed.

Moral victories are loses no matter how you draw them up.

This is the pacification of Syracuse basketball. Nit or bust

Going 0 for 3 in Vegas isn’t gonna help us get into March.

Did we already lose two games in Vegas that I missed?

Stay tuned

That’s what I’m saying. I’m so encouraged but so discouraged because I don’t think free throws will just suddenly improve

Good team this year. Have to shoot a ridiculous number from the line to lose

It’s over golden opportunity blown

 

[IHeartSUFball]

Yup

Congrats

 

[M2MPrinciples]

Hate to lose such a winnable game especially against a big-name opponent, but I think we might be good?

A good team wins that game today. You drive to the basket with 5 seconds left. We waited too long. Make your free throws and that’s a neutral site win over the #3 team in the country.

Unfortunately we are not good yet

Who says we’re the better team? We aren’t.
I’m encouraged that we played like a #4 team tonight.

Not sure how a fan could have watched the last half decade, and then this and not feel like a lot of positives were demonstrated, and a ceiling was broken.

I’m not one to say we would have won IF Donnie had played or IF we had hit FTs. It would have been a different game, with possibly a better result. Maybe Donnie misses those threes that Betsey hit, for example….

Good game. We played #3 ‘even’ and had a chance to win. That’s overall/net positive.

Why are you still here? You’ve been fired

I'm as negative as they come - but if you can't get excited about this game and the season thus far (Monmouth not withstanding), I don't know what to tell you.

A long way to go but encouraging is a bit of an understatement.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

Houston is very overrated tho, but make free throws I can make 60 percent in my converse with big calve muscles

You have made the claim Houston is overrated multiple times and it is a moronic statement. National runner up last year, with 3 returners and a freshman who will be a lottery pick. Houston will likely win 28-30 games this year.

College basketball is very down even if they 3rd ranked team they aren’t stellar or special

And without Donnie
