Getting 3 boards a game now. Nothing special but let’s go ahead and think about what changed that has allowed him to score 17 a game and shoot 47% from 3 while helping his team beat a top 20 squad versus getting beaten by 30+

How can we lose a game by 31 when we were down 1 at halftime?
-George will be solid but I can't help but be a little disappointed in him. He really doesn't do anything really well. Can't really get by anyone but more importantly isn't as smart a player as one would expect. Makes unnecessary turnovers and takes some really bad shots. Maybe he would look better if he was playing with better shooters/scorer. But 7 turnovers, many of the lackadaisical kind, is unacceptable.
-I know he plays good defense but Kingz looks lost offensively. If he isn't significantly better we are in huge trouble.
-If George keeps getting trapped and our only solution is to pass it to Kyle outside the foul line that isn't going to work. Will Red make that adjustment?
-Playing the role of Chris Bell this year is Betsey. Like Bell if he doesn't make any shots he is useless. He, JJ and Kiyan really struggle on d.
-I get that we are tired, the game was early etc. But it was the same for Iowa State. And in the second half we flat out quit. Guys were jogging back. Layups were uncontested. We barely were close enough to foul anyone. How can we quit in game 7 of the season? Not a good look for Red. Nor is our shot selection where players feel empowered to shoot contested three pointers early in the shot clock and play iso instead of moving the ball.
-Unfair I know but Diawara will never be a good player here. He can't move. Not sure why he is here.
-What's crazy is there were parts of each game that were promising. I think we beat Houston and maybe win one other game with Donnie. But overall Vegas was a disaster in large part because none of the players really did anything to think that they were as good or better than hoped.

We went 23-89 from deep in Vegas. I understand that Red is not the person actually taking the shots. But isn’t he paid millions of dollars to design an offense that isn’t predicated on lots of average shooters shooting way too much? Is there some reason we can’t have more sophisticated offensive sets beyond iso ball or is this just the downside of forgoing a legitimate national search and hiring Boeheim Lite?

I think the Red experiment is over. Team seems to have quit on him. At least we can now turn the page on the JB era.
And please no GMac

What shocked me the most, is how out of hand that got. After literally yesterday saying how the team’s effort on D will at least keep the fight going.
That 2nd half is just totally unacceptable and frankly ridiculous.
Yes, 3 games in 3 days (by the MORONIC TOURNAMENT in November), but so did Iowa state.

I tried to watch the last couple of days.
Didn’t watch at all last year.
Looking forward to August and a new football season.
See some of you on the off topic forum.
SU Hoops just isn’t worth the time. Sadly.

Is he the cancer? I guess we will find out as the year goes on.
Awesome!!! More GMac hate! Gotta love this board.
I don’t think it’s GMac hate, it’s just playing into the family narrative that has destroyed the program

The players Era morons leading have already agreed that they are morons and said they won't be going with their "criteria" anymore, and the Iowa St-Syracuse match up was specifically mentioned for how badly they messed up and showed themselves to be ridiculous fools.
Iowa St which has the 2 best wins in the tournament didn't even get a shot at making money because they didn't get into the top 2 games.
What a crazy swing a play can make. If we somehow beat Houston at the buzzer this whole week maybe goes different and the teams trajectory with it.
Sometimes there’s just a black cloud over a coach and they can’t change course. Autry just has all the makings of one of those coaches with injuries and recruiting busts and portal misses and blowouts and missing the big shot to win games.
This half will be one of the final nails in Autry’s coffin and it’s time to be ok with it.
At least us fans don’t need to wait in purgatory much longer. Autry is in win out mode now. I’d rather bet 00’s on the roulette table than bet on Autry being back next year.
That’s ok too. I’ll still support the team and hope they turn it around and give us some entertaining hoops but there’s not enough of a basketball team here to do anything more than hope for the best.

Did you see his behavior in games? I'm clearly not saying that the coaches don't have accountability, by the way.

Not wanting Gmac as the next head coach is not Gmac hate.
I did, and I question whether it was Chris bell is a bad kid or red lets kids get away with this.
Why? Because we went with Adrian over Gerry?

Oh, no doubt both.
It wouldn’t have mattered if we went either way, the issue if that the family failed once. You shouldn’t try it again

That was the biggest abuse since the Orange lost by 39 to a supposedly weak DePaul team in 2006.
Inconceivable to lose a half by 30 points.
That took some real (lack of) effort.
Hard to believe after they played so well against Houston (other than free throws) and cut the Kansas lead to 2 later in the secnd half.
