I don't think SU practices offense anymore. I'm not being snarky, I honestly think all the starters do is practice the 2-3 zone. JBs teams used to have very good offenses and they could run the fast break. I haven't seen SU run a decent fast break in a LONG time. When you have a 3-1 or 3-2 break it is inexcusable to not get a dunk or a layup. When we get those situations, the wings jog down and the ball handler is driving the lane against 2 guys. Fundamentals people - teach them and learn them.

As for Lydon, everyone was preaching that all he needed to do in the offseason was to gain 20 lbs. I was chastised then by saying we were asking too much to gain that much lean mass in 6 months (I won't say that what he gained does not look all lean). I said, it can be done, but at the detriment to other aspects, such as working on his game. All I wanted from him was to work his dribble. Looks like he concentrated on weight gain above all else.
