Erik Murphy is the worst defensive forward I've seen this year, that being said, at times (probably a lot of time) KJo appears equally bad. I'm not sure why he seems so uninvolved on the defensive ends a times. Yesterday was probably one of his worst efforts - he has to pick it up going forward - at the very least he needs to rebound better.

Don't watch then. GE is the winningest player ever at SU. Must have contributed something.

I'm guessing -- but it looks like an auto-correct. A misspelling of He (Ge) was probably auto-corrected to GE.
I feel like Sherlock Holmes after that.

Um, pardon my ignorance, but what do career win totals, points per game, or a Big East sixth man award have to do with the claim that Joseph is a defensive liability?
The sky isn't falling, but the crowd at the other end of the spectrum is equally ridiculous. Everyone associated with the program is beyond reproach for some of you, and that makes for bad reading. At least attempt to come up with a compelling rebuttal to "Kris Joseph struggles on the wing of the zone." (And, no, Kris's status as this team's leading scorer is in no way germane to this topic.)

1. This is march saying one of our players is a defensive liability will solve nothing. This was a post for the regualar season not right before the big dance. We haven't done it all year outside of Mookie thets not start now.
2. we are 31 and 2 Josephs defense was good enough to help us get there.
3. We are playing without a PF all year and are 31-2 with a tough defense.
4. We had a guy named Wes Johnson who was the 4th overall pick in the draft and his defense was knocked on despite rebounding and weakside shot blocking. One of the scrappiest players we have ever had.
5. Joseph has alot on his plate worrying about offense already. He puts alot of his focus in helping us shoot high fourties insead of mid 30's.
6. Both of Josephs legs aren't 100% and haven't been all year.
Finding holes in the zone right before march on a 31-2 team when we have played through them all year is pointless, unhelpfull, and giving talking heads stuff to look for to make us look more vulnerable.
Past syracuse teams have gone down in march when their Jr's/seniors play bad on the offensive end.
thankfully this team has Dion, Fab, Fair, and Southerland and MCW's passing to help out on offense.
Hope All of our guys can get their heads together, because we can be so much better if they all agree and bring it as a group effort.
I want to hear No Days Off for any of our guys the next 6 games.
