Plenty of other teams to watch.Never been more disinterested watching a syracuse basketball team play. Boring. Zone is awful. Can't make shots. Silent G is the only one who shows up consistently. Just poor basketball.
Cooney has played pretty well the last few games.Honestly, I love Howard's game and he needs more extended run like he has gotten today. He is our best passer and he attacks the rim when he gets a chance. I like G in the back of the zone too. More Howard please and less Cooney and Richardson.
Good game by the Orange. DC looked good. Cooney hit a very deep three, both my sons-in-law were gawking! Room for improvement but JB will be back and have the team ready for the big games.
Syracuse win= good game. Sorry you cannot enjoy a victory.We beat a 1-10 team who are one of the worst in D1 by 13. How does that compute to a good game?
It's like saying I've been married on for 10 years but got cheated on 20 times, but still married.
Yes, let's move the ACC steals leader and bench the #2 guy.Honestly, I love Howard's game and he needs more extended run like he has gotten today.

not gonna try and say they're good, but Tex Sthrn is better than the last 4 teams we played, their record notwithstanding - Vegas knows that too which was why the line was only 16.5... but, no, we didn't play particularly well (G, Roberson, Lydon were pretty much going through the motions most of the game) but I did like what DC and TC did today...We beat a 1-10 team who are one of the worst in D1 by 13. How does that compute to a good game?

If we play defense like this in ACC games we aren't winning. The interior d is poor and the guards at the top of the zone consistently allow opposing shooters 4 feet of space to shoot uncontested 3 point shots. Been that way for several games now. Allowed a bad team to shoot 51% overall and 42% from the arc. A win is a win but this type of play won't beat ACC competition. Hope we can pick up the level of play like in Atlantis.Lax, disinterested defense pretty much the whole game (except for some nice steals)... now we play for keeps
That is what I was thinking for a good part of the game. Seems our effort and intensity was geared to win the game by at least ten and that was about it. If all we do is play to the level of the competition then we will be good in ACC play :rolling:Lax, disinterested defense pretty much the whole game (except for some nice steals)... now we play for keeps
The team did not play well defensively today and that will be Hop's focus going forward. And after observing these games from home, JB will surely make some major adjustments to the zone when he returns.That is what I was thinking for a good part of the game.

Man, I can't wait for Wednesday's game. It will say a lot about where we are headed, be it good or bad.
Hate to break it to you but no magical adjustments will fix this zone.The team did not play well defensively today and that will be Hop's focus going forward. And after observing these games from home, JB will surely make some major adjustments to the zone when he returns.
The Pittsburgh game will be a good test, especially for the young players getting their first taste of playing in a hostile environment like that one. Frankly, I'm not sure what to expect, but good performance or bad, I won't be drawing any conclusions about this team just yet.
sure thing, chiefHate to break it to you but no magical adjustments will fix this zone.
