It's been known to happen. We sent in a thin team with a matchup nightmare for our best player and we got thumped.
BFD.
It's not like it counts as five losses or cost us a seat at the dance.
I think we take out UVA Monday. I really do.
Too much pessimism. Here. Next years team will be just as young, but more diversified offensively. It'll make a significant difference. I'll worry about Joseph next fall. PGs tend to grow up a lot between their freshman and sophomore years.
Great Post!
GBinije, Cooney and Rak all had bad games we shot 26 percent vs dukes 45 up to the 10 minute left mark. and were shaky setting up plays. Go back and watch the BC game and relax, sometimes you just don't play your best ball.
And Agree every bit with the words in bold. It gets tiring hearing the lack of hope. You never give up, Never Fans shouldn't let logic dictate lack of hope in a team, other schools have the common sense not to do that.
Remember the mcw/southerland led final four team? remember the 02-03 team? . remember the 96 wallace led final four team? remember the 09-10 team? Nobody thought any of those teams would be THAT good. Cuse basketball is full of surprises.
We need to keep hope going (hope wins games), stop throwing all the players on a roller coaster ride (one minute they are great the next they suck), and continue to explore new thoughts and ideas. Instead take a self ban and stop meltingdown the board for 5 days after a loss.
The thing I love most about this board is the out of the box conversations, and the OT topic excitment we mix in with the threads.
For a moment I was even thinking what if we put Obokoh and Rak in together with Rak at the four against duke, maybe we could have pushed them around alittle inside and doubled Okafor better. We still were getting killed on the perimeter and with jumpshooting reguardless.
imo as far as transition goes, halfcourt offense wins game transition is offense is freebies. defenses can't stop a good half court offense but they can cut the best transition team in the country down to 6-8 points with hustle on get back on d strategy alone, while watching the turnovers.
The coaches know what they are doing and we follow syracuse because we believe in them, we are not going to change their opinions or teach them anything. They know how to make players better if they didn't they would be retired.
