Lemoyne Postgame

[OttoinGrotto]

Maybe the real Syracuse-Lemoyne rivalry game was the friends we made along the way in the game thread.

Not sure what the recruitment team saw in Lucas Taylor. He is awful

 

[MikeSU02]

Here is my legitimate silver lining: at least we won.

You cannot lose to a team like that and expect to get in the tournament.

I’m sure the scoring margin will hurt us anyway, but at least we won.

Positives:
- We avoided a catastrophic loss. Seriously. That was basically a must win.
- Davis was great inside the paint. Love the effort.
- Freeman rebounding.
- Lampkin passing 2nd half is what I expected.
- Bell scored in several ways and made a key defensive play late, but...
- Petar's hair and mustache. Beautiful.
- 1-0.

Negatives:
- Chris Bell fouling 3 pt. shooters or not sliding consistently on D. He also had 1 rebound. Worst rebounding forward we've ever had (that's a fact) and I get we had 2 other guys put up 11 and 12 but... has to be better in these all around ways, especially on this team.
- LeMoyne. Losing most of the game. Not good.
- Overall shooting from 3 and the line.
- Carlos struggled. Big bucket late but will struggle against better and bigger competition. I am certainly not throwing him under the bus yet (just checked too and he still finished with 6 dimes).
- Which leads to... the overall guard situation and rotation.
- LEMOYNE. Winning by 4 after being down 9.

Want to have hope, but he seems pretty shaky. He’s not the only one, but it wasn’t good.

I think the upside here is that Davis looked completely lost in exhibition 1, and had a big game today.

I'm sure Taylor will have some moments. They just weren't happening in this game.

Davis is good. Disappointed in every other player that saw the court. I don’t see it with Taylor. Moore seems like the better bet to contribute at some point.

Agree about Taylor. Maybe his defense is ok, I'll let others comment on that. But he needs to bring more than that to help. Realistically, he looks like the mid major level was the right fit for him.

My silver lining is they zoned us and we missed wide open 3s. Make those 3 and we win easily. Defense is still a mess either way though

I see no issues with this technique

Forgive me if I missed it but do we know why Cuffe never saw the floor?

He did in the last minute of the first half but nothing else.

JJ and Carlos are getting all the mins at guard. We’re going to have to deal with it even if they aren’t producing

Saw nerves from Taylor and even Carlos. Guys need to settle down for being seniors.

Also biggest concern for me was JJ. He has to have a much bigger impact on the game or someone else has to step into that role.

We could look much better against Colgate all things told too. 3 games in and I feel like im still tbd on this group.

Credit to Lemoyne for letting shots fly, and playing hard the whole game. Some of their shots were from good sets, and a few off pure adrenaline I'd imagine.

Our forwards seem to have a good mix of skills between them (finesse, bully, some athleticism). Eddie is a bit slow (expected) on defense but overall I think a net positive tonight.

JJ seemed to be sort of the same on defense as last year where it looks like he's really trying but still gives up some penetration. Carlos just got abused all night and it's hard to imagine every team not doing the same thing all year which is troubling. He's aggressive and in your face which I like, but he's just too small. Had a difficult time setting people up or getting into the lane as well.

So I'm unsure, tonight the team looked a little lackadaisical and disorganized which I'm sure can improve. Hoping our half court sets don't devolve into a quick pass for a Bell 3 or dump it down to Lampkin/Davis for a post up all year. Defense needs to improve a lot.

I’m not ready to crown us the best team in Syracuse until I’ve seen OCC and CBA play.

Wildhack needs to get out in front of this and start making a list. This program is the dregs.

The Bad:

Everything else

JJ is a kid with a lot of talent but still just doesn’t go out and play. Great kid and easy to root for but he’s still stuck in his own head it seems.

He played 2 seconds at the end of the 1st half

 

[HRE Otto IV]

I get it’s game 1. I get it.

But we just aren’t talented.

Doesn’t make any of the guys bad people. Doesn’t make me not root for them.

But we just don’t have the talent and Red’s coaching abilities are TBD.

We are clearly less talented than last year. So I am surprised so many people expect better results this year.

 

[NineOneSeven]

2 seconds more than a dead guy and 1 rebound less than Chris Bell but the same as a dead guy.

 

[swish7]

Need to settle down on O. No idea why we were rushing things.

Davis is a nice player.

 

[Bayside44]

Our highest ceiling player backed into 10 points with an absolutely lousy stat line. He'll finish a lot better as the season goes on, get strong with the ball, which will help solve a lot of problems.

Lemoyne is a really really really great team, prolly a 2 or 3 seed






Or maybe Red needs some help evaluating talent
