Official HELL TO THE VICTORS SU/UM game thread

[Ghost]

Before that breakaway dunk G pretty clearly fouled the guy to avoid the break...

 

[PauliePeppas]

Was that a spin and drop step with a left handed finish? Wow

 

[Libero2]

Can we give Rak serious props for playing 15 minutes (more or less) without picking up a foul?

 

[mountaincuse]

So Kaleb is our sharpshooter now. Cool.

He's got the confidence for it

 

[Jake]

Xmas might have played the greatest 15 minutes with two fouls I've ever seen.

 

[JayCuse]

Dakich might possibly be worse than Dukie V.

Kicking it out, picking his spots - very much under control. Very well done, Rak.

 

[jekelish]

The most enjoyable part of this game so far has been watching Christmas absolutely make this Doyle kid his bitch.

 

[JayCuse]

just stupid

 

[jekelish]

That was a horrendously stupid play.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

what a half from Rak

 

[HOFCeluck]

What

 

[Libero2]

Who was that even too?

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Dakich might possibly be worse than Dukie V.

I find him rather funny.

 

[JayCuse]

If that went in I was going to falcon punch my tv.

 

[Ghost]

Seriously?

How did we end up with two shooting guards like this. One plays small forward, but still...

 

[Tony DeFranco]

i think Cooney is worse on defense than offense if thats possible

 

[jdubs30]

Dakich might possibly be worse than Dukie V.

He's an Indiana guy who in 2013 kept saying on his sports show on Indiana radio that we'd kill them; he got crushed for it by IU folks and never backed down.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Just not close... it's rough. There is no way even the most diehard of Cooney fans could expect a shot he takes to go in. Enough with the "we gotta get him good looks" talk. We have...

Yea I am one of the fans of him but I am slowly creeping away... He just can't shoot. Nothing personal, but his shot doesn't even look good or confident at all

He's obnoxious and annoying.

This is the worst play by play announcer broadcast I have ever heard. Sounds like two guys having a conversation after twelve beers.
Mike what are you doing?

 

[RF2044]

I'm not sure Rak has gotten better as much as we just use him on O now.

No way--I'm not suggesting he's Hakeem Olajuwon, but did you see those drop step spin moves? Nice hook shot in the lane?

He's very much improved offensively. I'd expect the scoring to normalize over the course of the season and to come down a bit as we start playing bigger teams, but I expect he's going to have a senior campaign comparable to Rick Jackson, scoring wise. Which I'd love--considering that I would have killed for a consistent 8ppg from him. Nice to see.

 

[Libero2]

We need to get better on the glass. If Michigan takes 17 3s in the 2nd half I'd expect they make at least 6. Either we have to hit some shots, or we have to dig in and win the rebounding battle significantly in the 2nd half.

 

[Orangezoo]

Dont mind dakich and tirico to be honest. Jay williams on the other hand is just awful.

 

[longislandcuse]

I don't mind Dakich. I think he and Tirico work well together.
