ND has terrible talent.

 

[Scooch]

These guys work hard. Nice for them to be rewarded with a win.

 

[Cuse12]

the guys needed it for sure. Happy for them

 

[Ghost]

We RULE!

 

[phil77]

If you win the first half and win the second half odds are you will win the game

 

[Sbucketball]

Nice game. It’s fun to win

Didn’t ND play a close game against a good ACC opponent last week? How? Good win none the less.

 

[MSOrange]

Well that was more fun than an enema. Put together two really solid halves. Happy for the team to see some success today.

Double OT loss hosting UVa after a huge first half lead. Mike Brey doesn't look so bad.

9-game win streak to vault into Top.25 and NCAAT..We're all allowed to dream, aren't we?

ND has terrible talent.

Losing Markus Burton for the season, their PG, was a killer for them. He was by far their best player,

Less Kiyan and 21assists….i don’t think that’s a coincidence…

 

[OttoinGrotto]

We're so back.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Some were asking if Anthony was on the bench second half. Believe he had his blue warm up jersey on and was sitting next to White,. Looked like he was doing the golf clap after some of the scoring plays.

Yup, their talent level is really poor, looks like us last year without Donnie. They aren't the worst team because they have a decent, not good, coach but they may have the worst talent without Burton.

Red tightened up the rotation to ~7.5. Worked today. We shot 57% from the field including 40% from 3. That’ll win most games.

I think the one benefit to having Donnie come off the bench is the active defense came back. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Ball movement was better overall regardless of Kiyan, though you aren’t wrong about his influence. 21 assists is a very good stat.

 

[Biaxtar]

Good.

-Kingz is finally playing with confidence. He’s been our best on ball defender all year and now he is looking to score. I wish we got him more looks all season long.
-the Donnie thing is mystifying, but a propos for this program unfortunately. His shot selection was bad in the first half and he seemed to recognize that in the second half to his credit.
-we’ve never seen JJ play like he did in the first half offensively. He reverted to the mean in the second half.
-10 assists and no turnovers is beautiful by George. I wish he took care of the ball like that all season long. It was nice not to see him force bad shots.
-Kiyan was awful and deservedly sat in the second half. A lot of sulking on the bench and was not supportive of his teammates, unlike the rest of the guys. That needs to change.
-happy for the staff and the kids to get a nice win. Especially on Lawrence Moten day. JB’s words were touching and well done.

 

[crv1728]

Good.

Love the detailed analysis!

 

[phil77]

I think the biggest takeaway from this from a Syracuse perspective isn't the Freeman thing, but it is the Kiyan thing. Red didn't play him at all in the second half. That is way bigger news that would actually help this team going forward. Sitting Freeman against good teams will not work, but sitting Anthony if he isn't playing well will help the team.

Maybe we’ll have a little confidence heading to NC on Monday.

 

[23Zone]

Pretty sure this is the first time Kiyan has not seen action in the second half. I'll give Red some credit for that. See I can be objective.

Yea for real. Why he thinks NBA 3's are a good idea when he can't make his free throws is insanity.

I worry about people wanting him back next year with the new coach. A guy like Sadiq can be turned into even more of a beast. Kiyan not so sure, he may be a 4 year college mercenary and play 4 diff schools honestly.

Sureeeee haha I like um but idk if they work all that hard. I think they work an adequate amount for D1 player
