Peter Carey scoring as much as the starting forwards

[OttoinGrotto]

Prolly not a winning formula.

Shades of Hakim Warrick out there.

Like, look... Carey dunks are fun.

They just are.

 

[MadNY3]

To say we are thin at the 4/5 position is an understatement.

Malique is a strong complimentary player playing above where is realistic he might.

Hima is tall but never should have come to Syracuse. McLeod decent enough but out. Carey would be a great volleyball player. Stunk to lose Jesse so late in the game.

If Bell cant make 3s he is useless. JT is...JT

Yeah, they are especially if the rest of your team can't make a foul shot or a three.

reminded me of his recruiting videos. lots of dunks, nothing else.

He held his own vs. Post.

I think Peter Carey’s little brother is playing volleyball lol. Not sure how good he is though.

Depends on how many points Carey scores

 

[jdubs30]

I mean we still scored 75

 

[upperdeck]

pretty simple.. make Fts and win the game. Make 3s win the game.. BC doesnt shoot 55% win the game.

 

[Cuse4455]

Carey had two solid plays then proceeded to air ball a jump hook lmao.

 

[kingtidge]

We couldn't buy buckets and threw up clangers most of the second half (from the perimeter and the line)... meanwhile, we let Harris drop 14 on us in 4 minutes with lax defense.

That's a recipe for a loss every day of the week.

Yeah. It seems like defense was the bigger problem.

and if BC doesn't turn the ball over 20 times ????

And maybe don't get killed on the boards.

You're asking too much.

 

[sufandu]

You're asking too much.

I am awfully demanding.

 

[upperdeck]

BC turns it over because they do that..

They dont tend to shoot 50% from 2 and 3.

We dont tend to go 3-10 on FTs to start a game.

Just do the simple things.

I go back and wonder how are starting Forwards are Bell and Taylor and it's from multiple things. After 21 we lost Braswell, Quincy, Allen Griffin and Woody Newton. I think nearly all might still have eligibility today. That killed the depth. Then we couldn't land Arthur Kaluma who chose Creighton. We had Benny committed, some posters thought he was 1 and done. And then the only forwards they brought as a transfer or through the portal was Cole Swider and the old coaches eldest son. That is just criminal to not get an experienced Forward the past 2 off-seasons.

Jimmy didn't want to put in the effort to recruit at the end, so this is what we have.

I think in college hoops, each year is it's own year. You could lose half your roster at any point for basically any reason. So losing Braswell and Quincy and Woody in '21 traditionally would kill us this year, but really it might as well be a decade ago.

The big thing for me is we bet on Benny this off-season. That was strange. The fact that so many on this board predicted big things for him was stranger yet. But ultimately, your last sentence is the key -- a player who could consistently give you 25 mins of solid two-way play probably buys us a win or two so far and probably one more the rest of the way.

Yeah, losing Harris that many times in a key stretch is bad. Tough day defensively for sure.
