One awesome designed play by Boeheim out of a timeout that stood out: Coleman at the high post fed (I think) Richardson on a back-door cut. That was one of many fantastic passes in the second half, and it in particular is a great way to take advantage of one of Coleman's strongest skills - one that many of us thought we'd see more of during his career here.

Boeheim's got a long record of success in drawing up offensive plays after timeouts; he gets us a number of "free" baskets during the course of the game. One thing that's overlooked during our run of ugly basketball from 2013-2015 is that we haven't had that same success, further crippling a limited offense. No more double-stack up top with a lob to the cutter from the inbounder, no backscreens on the baseline freeing up a layup attempt. Surely Boeheim's capable of identifying weakness and drawing up plays to exploit them; it seems that he just hasn't had players with the skills to execute the plays with consistency.

Loved to see the return of that last night and -- with our three most skilled offensive players returning as sophomores alongside Battle -- I believe that there will be a lot more of that in the next couple years.
