This has been a fun team to watch. It seems like we have been a slow, methodical, one on one based, highly broken offense for so long now.
Every year I convince myself this is the year it is going to change and every year I end up disappointed. But it looks like I am finally going to get my wish. It is great to see us pushing the ball up the court and trying to get transition baskets. It is even greater to see us working the ball around, making multiple excellent passes. We have so many good passers on this team, and everyone, to a man, seems unselfish. That makes for good basketball.
Perhaps the biggest revelation is Elijah and his passing ability. I have been wowed repeatedly by his great passing. Right now he is leading the team in assists by a large margin and I am doubtful anyone is going to catch him here. He is of course going to lead the team in scoring. And he isn’t that far from leading the team in rebounds as well.
While we have had a number of great passing forwards (Leo and Dale come to mind), I don’t think anyone in the modern era of Syracuse basketball has led the team in scoring rebounding and assists. Elijah has a real chance, especially if Marek and Bourama get into continuous foul trouble against good opponents. I don’t think he is going to make it but it is something to monitor.
Look forward to the games today and the game tomorrow. It is a good weekend to be a Cuse fan. Go Orange! War Damn Otto! Looking forward to some monster dunks this afternoon!
