Nobody Deserves It More Than

Does he have nil gear? Want to support him.

Doesn’t look like he’s on the Syracuse NIL gear site. Bummmmer, he coulda made some coin today

How about JJ? People have had their feet on his neck all year. And lately, he has shot the ball really well.

Thanks for pointing that out. A few weeks ago, I defended Starling on here to bunch of naysayers who were comparing him to Louie McCroskey and not a lot of people supported me on my pushback. Why can’t people try be patient with these players? He’s only a sophomore and so are most of our best players.

Man, I haven't jumped up and ran around my living room in years, I got light headed and had to kneel down by the recliner. I've always been vocal about my love for Cope, but I still can't believe it. Credit to Red for his last few minutes substitutions, credit to Mintz the way he played today and obviously the last possession. Credit to JJ for fighting through and finding his game. Man, true joy, I forgot what this was like.

You can tell by the way the team reacted that they were super happy. They would have been for anyone hitting that but I think Q is very popular with teammates. And rightly so.

 

[hoopsupstate]

What’s nice about playing man you can have a lock down defensive player on a team. Just think if we could have used Paul Harris in that role. It was great seeing Red going offense/defense with guys. Red is growing into his new role just as much as his team. 13-5 is terrific for this young team.

Folks don’t think Q can shoot it but in a ‘blind taste test’ with Q / JJ /JM / Benny / JT … pretty much anyone other than Bell we’d take Q’s form / technique over all of them. You can almost see him on the line thinking ‘don’t miss this’ and once that turns into ‘I got this’ he’ll be that guy

This shot today might finally give him the confidence to make that turn - when it happens he’s a pro.

When it happens, are the key words, because it will happen.

They should make a shirt in the next 24 Hours. Buzzer Beater or Game Winner. Something like that.

I’d be pumped for a script jersey Tshirt

Agreed. The form is there. The consistent makes aren't yet. But usually when you have the former you get the latter eventually.

 

[FrancoPizza]

...totally agree but Bell also got us 4 threes today. It's just his defense that is missing

Is that all?

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Awesome player I really hope he doesn't get fixed to one role or position since hes just so good all around. Have to think he'll keep getting better over the next 2 seasons. I

Never going to happen under Red. He’s going to roll out the rock and let Q play

Is this the Group Hug thread where I post nothing of value and get Likes from virtual friends?

 

[SWC75]

Very Boeheim-like. Give your key guys a blow in the first half, and ride them the whole second half.

And win!

 

[AlaskaSU]

Brown deserves the game ball. We had the most unusual defensive game plan I've ever seen and it was brilliant.

 

[Dinkyspond]

I thought it was cool that Jim Larranaga seemed genuinely happy for Q in the handshake line.

The man always was and is 100 percent class.

Ask Devo

I did not hear what Devo said about that. What did he say?

Million-Dollar smile

 

[kcsu]

Agree. Thrilled for him. And JJ is suddenly a sharp shooter.

A lot of great things happened after being down 55-48. Dome looked fun.

JJ was always a good shooter. His injuries and maybe some poor coaching at ND messed up his natural stroke which is now back

 

[shu 49]

I personally thought he just needed to be aggressive attacking offensively. He seemed to defer too much and now he isnt.

In his last 6 games Copeland is 6 for 14 from 3. Low volume but that’s 42 pct and averaging one make per game.

I know this has been said before on here, but if Copeland comes back next year able to consistently hit 3s on medium volume, he's going to be an All-ACC player and have a good shot at a bright pro future.
