Yeah agree on all points. The thing that was interesting was that Northeastern played mostly straight up. Rarely ever reached and rarely doubled. When they did help, it was typically on a big down low. I thought the prettiest play of the night was Q's little backdoor pass to Marek for a deuce. But I think their thought was that if they were going to lose, they were going to make Syracuse execute their half-court sets or make them make a play off the bounce. How rarely we did that is concerning.

We didn't routinely get easy shots even down low. Those points were tough, physical, hard-earned effort points. Would love to see Q continue to grow down there and Marek get a bit more effective in those spots as well.

Overall, I agree, however. A bit more inside-out would help this team (we seem to say that every year) and the loss of Walker certainly hurt Northeastern. I wasn't blown away by him and his decision-making, but his energy and athleticism was missed in the second half. Far fewer open looks.
