oof game from buddy

[orangehomer]

other guys came through, hughes stunk too

Duke's defense had something to do with that. They targeted taking Buddy out of the game and they were successful at it. Eli got his, but had to work hard for it. Girard and especially Marek were really good in this game. Overall, if Duke is a Top 10 team, we played them pretty even for about 25-30 minutes. That's progress.

D-2 player, right? LOL

 

[85SUAlum]

Need JGIiI to be better than 2-9 from 3 though

I think buddy would be a real good mid-major player, he is not a high minute player on a high major team that wins

i hate that our program is at a level where playing duke even at home for 20 minutes is considered progress.

Girard was good?

Girard was good?

He finally hit some late, but early on, man, they weren't even close

What? No way he's a D2 player.
He's ACC level, look at his numbers. I don't know that he plays this many minutes for a decent D2 team, so perhaps I could agree with you there, but still, he belongs.

He had a couple steals, but man, his defense was bad.

 

[malpearl31]

Girard was good?

17 pts, 4 rebs, 7 asts, 4 stls, 1 turnover. Thought Joe was good overall - especially since Tre Jones was harassing him for a good portion of the night.

 

[jdubs30]

Buddy was hot late.

The problem is JG3 and Buddy would be great if they had Tyus or Frank..and vice versa

He’s top ten in the ACC in scoring. I’m sure some people were frothing at the mouth waiting for this game.

Technically he is, though.

1 to? That’s a joke. Was that the one he dribbled off his own foot? Or the one he threw to quincy that basically pushed him out of bounds?

 

[skurey]

Buddy is a solid 3rd man for a middling ACC team

Dolejaz was the only SU player who played close to average on offense tonight. Girard, Boeheim and Hughes a combined 14-46. 30%. 6-26. 23% from 3. And yet the team scored 88 points. Unfortunately this team showed once again they are the worst Syracuse team on the defensive side of the ball in many years. Can't give up 97 points and expect to win.

 

[realorange]

Interesting that the glass half empty folks have shown up again.

 

[sugrad68]

BTW. those 2 missed free throws by Boeheim were a real killer to the comeback possibilities.

 

[Ghost]

13 and 17 points. That's 30 between them. I'm not sure how anyone is unhappy with the production.

I agree with your reply but it is disappointing to see Buddy step to the free throw line and miss two of three. On top of Joe missing 2 free throws. This team just seems to find ways to stay close but not enough to close the deal.

And play defense.

how did we score 88?? as you said marek is the only guy that played well. hughes started off great then disappeared, buddy was overmatched, girard didnt do much till the end.

we simply couldnt get stopsthe last 28 minutes of the game. duke is flat out better.

They would also be good if they had caremlo, Owens, Warwick and Fab Melo.

This is where stat lines are misleading. If someone didn't watch the game and just went by a box score, they'd say he played well.
