Loss Tonight

[samspann1]

Just too many open shots for ND. No wonder this Dragovic (?) kid is going off.

SU needs to pick up the tempo on D, and obviously, rebound the damn ball.

Also, be great if Triche and Joseph stop moping and start playing.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

Triche and Joseph are really showing their true colors. Laughing with the ND guys... yukking it up. Ugh

 

[Orange Rust Belt]

Have you watched basketball before? No one can maintain that shooting. Jimmy B has been telling them that all game: stay patient, keep plugging away. I have zero fear of a loss tonight. would bet my house we win by 10+

Granted your house isn't next to an airport or a swamp I would gladly make that bet with you. I would be happier then i've been all season to just see SU win by one point considering the circumstances.

 

[Orangemen]

NC State was hostile until we made the run at the end of the half.

When we make a run in this game, what do you think ND's crowd is gonna do?

Leave early to avoid the traffic congestion.

more about our upper classmen being awful and forgetting how to dribble. We can still win this.. but, the pouty faces are not the look of a #1 team.

This is what I am most disappointed about. I literally cannot believe it. The pouty faces are the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I expected from this team. I was expecting an " you!" attitude from this team tonight going out to prove they can win on the road without their C.

Instead we get this.

Need a much much better second half.

44cuse

 

[SUforLife]

are you watching the same game I am?

I don't know? is there another Syracuse game on tonight?

You gotta understand something, son. One half of basketball does not a season make, nor a game for that matter. JB will remedy what ails us on our end, and regression to the mean will take care of the rest. don't be surprised if ND shoots 30% from 3 in the second half. that's the way these things go. Take it from someone who was watching a full slate of hoops when you were playing with your Tonka trucks.

And remember, if you hop off this train that quick, we just might not slow down to let you back on. Let's go Cuse!!!

 

[HoustonCuse]

Classic JB right there, telling Christmas, "Why dont you just jump? jump? just jump"

LOL that is Hall of Fame coaching right there!

 

[orangefan13]

We can still win this game and it wouldn't be a longshot. ND shot 54 percent and 60 from three we shot 25 and 30.

 

[samspann1]

Pathetic. Give an average D-1 team open looks, and they'll score.

Interior D has been just as bad

I hope you are right, but you sound lik such a condescending .

First off, I'm not your son. How hold do you think I am?

Second off, who said anything about jumping off the train? Or said anything about the season going down the tubes.

My comment was in response that you believed this game was still within reach. It wasn't, not the way they played in the first half. Simple. I hope you can understand.

 

[klemmer56]

Let's just move forward. It was unlikely that SU would run the table. Let's just keep moving forward and take our aggression out on Cincy this Monday.

You think the best team in American can't overscome a small deficit like that with an entire half remaining? This is less about faith I suppose than a simple understanding of basketball. Stick with GAAP and football, texascpa.

Still plenty of time left, but we should probably make our move now. JB needs to light a little fire. ND about to go cold - book it.

I hope you are right.

I hope you are right.

Being right is one thing I'm good at.

3 minutes is an eternity with the 3 point shot. I almost feel bad for the ND fans who are about to witness a cruel turn of events.

 

[SUforLife]

Excellent. JB with a masterful job getting us right where we need to be. ND falling apart

Exactly...douchebag!

And the rats leave the ship.

That was a fluke. do you get me? Have a little pride, son.

Honestly, I'm not even mad or hurt. Going undefeated the whole year will never be a goal of mine for the team. Undefeated in the postseason is all that matter and going undefeated in the regular season makes that harder with all the pressure in my mind. Teams learn a lot about themselves in losses, we probably needed a reality check. Everyone needs one from time to time. Every year a couple teams absolutely go off and can't miss so it's not that big of a deal for that to be the 21st game of the season.

This loss doesn't bother me in the slightest.

 

[samspann1]

No fluke. SU was out-toughed on the boards and on loose balls, and they gave ND waaaay too many open looks. in the first half, ND ran their offense at will, with no resistance.

ND was in control the entire game. It was never in doubt.

 

[RoysRunts]

Ask the Irish if they Lose there starting center for academic reasons for this game ,whats the score

Excellent post. Glad to see not everyone around here is a panicky wimp. The Cuse fans I KNOW from my generation might get angry, but never at the team. We take it out on the bourbon
