Maryland Game Day Thread - 11/27/17

[Col. Bleep]

What team am I watching?
I haven't seen a Syracuse team hit the boards like this since I don't know when.

If a couple of Orange 3's had dropped we'd all be feeling much better about the first half performance.

 

[Oakland]

We have seen a million games where the other teams hits a lot of 3s in the 1st and we go on to win.

Three point shot is the equalizer. They're shooting 41% and us, 14%. We desperately need some of these to drop.

dude come on

That was posted when we were up 5 RIGHT before Marylands run.

 

[Oakland]

Our interior D is worlds better than last season - it is actually good!

Disagree. Aside from the turnovers they are attacking the zone well and hitting most of their open shots.

 

[Cusesky8214]

This board is top notch entertainment sometimes

 

[pearl31]

really REALLY like Oshae's game

 

[two3zone]

Shooting 14% from 3 and we’re winning against a hot shooting team?

Are they hot or are they wide open? They've had plenty of good looks.

I love his movement and his athleticism but he needs a better shot selection.

eh he has a good stroke and is confident - JB has obv given him green light

 

[Toga]

Probably the worst defensive effort of the season. Maryland, a team with shooting problems, hitting 48%. Terrible 3-point shooting team hitting 42%. If it wasn't for 11 Maryland TOs the Cuse would be in trouble. Dolezaj 3 turnovers. Team shooting 15% on 3s. Maryland defense is not strong but SU struggled down the stretch after having a 7 point lead. Hopefully tighter defense and better shooting for SU in the 2nd half.

11 turnovers - defense had something to do with that. Md attacking and moving ball extremely well.

MM using his athleticism. The broadcast team is terrible

 

[Funk Doc]

Anyone else waiting for Tyus to take over?

 

[cuseinseattle]

Fernando is a load. My god

 

[ssbriefcase]

Laphonso cherry picker Ellis is annoying as hell

 

[two3zone]

Frank keeping us in this game.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Thank god for Frank

 

[NateW]

Some horrible decisions by the team in the truck on which camera to broadcast during action.

 

[UelSU]

Battle looks about 60% to me.

 

[Oakland]

I don't hear the problem

Laphonso cherry picker Ellis is annoying as hell

 

[JeremyCuse]

Maryland more aggressive this half, getting every 50/50 ball amd really hitting the glass.

 

[longislandcuse]

Battle looks about 60% to me.

We're going to need Frank to bring this home. Battle doesn't look healthy enough to initiate the offense.

 

[Jake]

We are a shooter short. We've had open looks that we didn't knock down in the 1st.

Everything else is workable. Gonna see lots of zone.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Anyone else waiting for Tyus to take over?

I think he’s hurting

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Where’s cooney?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Agreed Lydon or Tucker would be a huge help for this team. Moyer and Dolez are zero threat from deep.
