Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4532933, member: 6979"] if this team could stay intact for next season or two...then it would be building somewhere and worthwhile to get this experience - that remains to be seen whether it will happen or not...but, unfortunately, in this era of ncaab, that simply doesnt happen much anymore (and big reason why the sport is not as good as it used to be imo)...it used to be exciting to KNOW that your team isnt great right now but WILL BE in a season or two... now, it's just eh...who will be on the team next year??? definitely not these players that are on it right now... trying to learn a system that takes multiple years to learn...(while only having one year to do it...over and over every year) Judah isnt really a PG (I think that will be his position at the next level and I think he will ultimately become a very good PG in his basketball future) Hi is far from a selfish player imo - but i've seen some posts about that rrecently on here - he just has a limited toolbelt...and does what he does out there...he's still learning how to dish the ball on the drive...and to become a better facilitator... he's also a bit light physique-wise and gets pushed around by seniors and stronger players unfortunately the refs in the ncaabb...tend to favor home teams and tend to favor ranked teams and bluebloods and tend to ref towards buzzerbeaters (they favor which ever team is losing, generally)...I would prefer no bias,,,,,but thats not good for ratings...smdh ...he just has to adjust and not expect that it will be called fairly...he has to expect that opponents will be able to very physical and that he and his teammates will not be allowed to...and we as fans have to accept that playing field isnt fair in the acc for syracuse basketball. I cannot believe how many hard fouls went uncalled agains miami in the latest game and how many soft fouls were called against syracuse...its enough to rattle a player...even one with as much conviction as judah... he melted down a bit in the game...and unfortunately it has happened a bit in the other games as well...i love his game...but he's actually not yet a player that i want with the ball at the end of games. I want to see more of symir if judah is struggling like he was vs miami...he cant just stay out there when he is turning the ball over like that. there were two or three other plays lite vs miami that were worse than the last second one...and JB kept him in. i think the goal of this team should still be NCAA tourney...however unlikely, that is the goal. i was thinking while watching the miami game and the collapse that the institutional memory of being winners is just not there anymore for the whole team...none of these guys have really been winners or ranked even the seniors and that makes getting over the hump that much harder... they have the talent to be an NCAA team imo...but the belief and execution is wavering often.
