Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1277163, member: 716"] We're pretty bad, though I think last year's team was worse. Joseph has had a notable error in every game for seemingly a month (a bunch of layups blocked and last night's punt) and his field-goal percentage at the rim has dropped below 56% (bad), but he's a better finisher than Ennis (54%, second-worst of any Syracuse regular since this statistic was kept). Cooney doesn't seem to have any concept of spacing and his finishing is worse than bad (52% at the rim, though a number of those have come in the half-court). Anyway, we're thin and we don't run a great break, but my point was more that we've pulled a mortifying 180 in the last five seasons: Syracuse used to be synonymous with the fast-break; now we've got a UVA fan (quite rightly) noting that we'd be better served to slow the game down because we can't keep up with North Carolina. Sad. [/QUOTE]
