Important Road Win

[Trueblue25]

Notre Dame doesnt look great but i’ll take any double digit road win in south bend. Onward and upward

 

[Eric15]

It feels so good to feel good about SU hoops again. It's been 38 days since the Ohio State win.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Time to go on a run.

 

[Newhouser]

Good step. Still not sold on feeling good.

ND not a powerhouse but we took care of business with 2 centers(ish) players fouling out. Refs were bad on a couple calls also.

Looks like we’re getting things together better late than never...

It was a quality victory. Before today this was considered a Tier 1 victory (Top 75 Road Win). I suspect Notre Dame will be walking that line between Tier 1 and Tier 2 all year.

We will now have two Tier 3 Losses after today (Old Dominion and UConn). UConn is getting manhandled at home by UCF, (down 13). But as I said in another thread, if we take care of what we need to that UConn loss falling a category is not that relevant. Do not cheer for UConn. Ever.

Very similar game to the Ohio St game, good shooting and solid defense down the stretch

 

[Oildrilling]

Really need better production from our center position but we'll take this win any way we can

 

[jdubs30]

It’s nice to have multiple scoring options. We already have 2 solid road wins which is a good resume builder.

Brey is a great coach he’ll still have them around .500 in league play when it’s all said and done

 

[Flacusian]

Impressive gutsy performance by the Cuse. Great job and incredible that they came back from down 10 in the first half. Hughes was dynamite.

 

[Eric15]

Also, great job by those SU fans behind our bench. They were fired up from start to finish and started multiple LGO chants.

 

[NKR1978]

From the 20-10 point on we seemed in control. Got a little scary a couple times, but it was a good win. Big game Wednesday.

 

[Eric15]

The next two are at home and (should be) winnable, Clemson and Georgia Tech.

Have to sweep those at home. But Clemson first!

Look at the bright side, we can’t less production from the centers. At least offensively.

 

[br801]

Nice job of rebounding the basketball on both ends today; that will take you a long way. Frank is working his way back, as well. Excellent win.

I hope they can turn it around and play better down the road as today's win will become more impressive. Unfortunately, I feel they are a year away, and will finish at the bottom of the league. Thankfully, they did not look good today as the officiating kept the game within reach and have not looked good in their previous games.

Center position has been weak all year. Someone suggested that Chuckwu should apply for another year, noooooo! Time for him to move on. Marek is playing out of position but with his skills he is their best option in that position. I am disappointed in Sidibe. I thought with a year under his belt and the potential he flashed last year, he would challenge for the starting C position. I am waiting for Boeheim to recruit a center that has offensive abilities in the low post and can actually shoot a jump shot.

Strangest stat line from our three centers. Two points, 15 rebounds, 13 fouls. I guess it's great if we win every game by 10.

At the same time I’m rooting for Georgetown to beat St. John’s.

Some of us will pretend we didn't read that.
May G-town miss every shot and lose every game.

I get the opinion, but I want that to be a quadrant one or two win.

 

[Madbiker]

Great road win...thanks to unusually good 3-point shooting. Our bigs were pathetic. I don't know why we can't recruit a half decent big man like so many mid majors seem to have.

I can not understand why Chukwu has shown no improvement in either skill or strength, but I guess he is what he is. Sidibe is trying but not there, I believe his problems are physical(legs/knees), he is learning to play differently than he always could before, it will take time.
We will bring in Akok next year but probably a project, we must get another body at center preferably someone with a little bulk.
