Notre Dame post game

[NorSyr66]

I appreciate all your opinions so much. But the hell with it’s time for JB to step down, and Buddy playing too much. Today was evidence why he is a HOF coach and why Buddy deserves the reins he has. Please shut down the negative rethoric going forward. Go ‘Cuse!!

I totally agree with you if he stays with the changes and we see some consistency in play. This can not be a "one game miracle"....rather it needs to be the adjustments we need to close out the season.

 

[two3zone]

he was -6 in the first half. My question to you was about the offense playing so well in the second half because K was in the game. He played the same 14 straight minutes in both half’s. If it’s as simple as having K on the court, why didn’t that happen in the first half?

You don’t see the difference when Kadary is in the game on offense (or defense) compared to when Joe is? Come on man.

I agreed with you on Cooney for 4 years, but defense of Joe is insanity at this point.

Which Boeheim are you referring to?

 

[lindros2]

I'm floored. Can't believe we came back, much less won by 8.
** Edit - and we played clean without fouling. THAT was huge. The rebound streak (wins when we out-rebound) continue.
29 from BB. When he's hot, he's hot.
Girard looks like he should sit. This was the final straw.
Still not impressed with AG, whose line looked a lot like JG. His aloof first half dug us the hole. He just loafs - he's not a leader, and taking away his blocks, he doesn't make other players better.

2 good defensive players in for those 2 is why we won.

I don't care if Joe and Alan are red hot we aren't getting stops to get back into the game with them on the floor.

I understand the reason why many bytch about Buddy getting too many minutes but this is an example why he does. Even if Griffin leads the team in scoring, Buddy is capable of going off like this any time Grif is not. Sitting him if he is 0/3 means he won't go off for 20+ the rest of the way.

The answer is easy. The lineup with Buddy and Kadary didnt get enough time to produce what they did in in the 2nd half

They barely played together

they played together for about 9 mins in the first half and about 13 mins in the second half. That’s not barely.

So youd like to go on the record that the team is not better with Kadary on the floor?

Otherwise, whats your point here.

He’s made the comment multiple times to me. I’m assuming that’s his opinion.

im not defending anyone.

What are you saying then? I’ve commented that were a much better team with Kadary on the floor, you keep responding to that trying to debunk it with really nothing backing it up.

I didn’t say that and my only point was responding to an incorrect post.

 

[kuethstheman]

Could the difference between halves have anything to do with the press?

Ok...lets try this again...

Were the Syracuse Basketball Orange better today with Kadary Richmond ON the floor or with him OFF the floor?

This should be a pretty easy answer.

Loved the energy the new guys brought. Buddy shot as well as any player i have ever watched in Orange today. Why? Because Kadary opens everything up for him and the rest of the team. Kadary is the key.
Bras plays very hard. He rebounds plays great D. Is super long and can shoot the rock. Gosh i hope he stays. Kid has star written all over him. Q grinds and keeps grinding. Gumby with a great second half. Why? Kadary and Bras.
This is an excellent line-up. Its a shame it took this long to play these guys although i guess Bras has been hurt.
Simply an amazing half fueled by Kadary and Bras energy.

my favorite part (besides the win itself) was seeing AG cheering the team on from the sidelines - stood the whole time and had the biggest smile welcoming the guys that were on the court when they came in at timeout.
Character matters. Next game it may be him that gets the glory. So good to see guys cheer for each other.

Great post. I saw the same thing. Leader for sure. Made me proud of him. Joe as well

im saying it’s not as simple as K being on the court as you said about the second half. It didn’t happen in the first half. Many other things have to happen too.

on. But that wasn’t the question.

You’re right, other things do need to happen, including him being the primary ball handler. Griffin and Buddy handled the ball far too often when he first came in, at least the first few minutes.

 

[DoctorBombay]

When Buddy plays like this, you keep him on the floor.
Its when he doesn't and still stays on the floor, that it becomes an issue.
Regardless, his performance today will help us in future games because...spacing.
Kudos to the team on a great win today- let's keep it going.

Yup. The offense where he brings it up, makes a pass, and never touches the ball for the rest of the possession while somebody else goes ISO (usually) are such a waste IMO.

 

[Charbroil]

I’m late to the party here so not sure if it’s been said... but I’m just happy Cuse beat ND because of Prentiss Hubb.

It’s one thing to be confident, but that guy’s cockiness is off the charts for only being a decent player on a bad team.
