Postgame Thoughts---Georgetown

[tptcuse]

I guess I'll start this. What a game! LGO!

 

[sweetpea]

It was good to see Benny and Bell get into it!

 

[Scooch]

Always great to thump G’town.

JBA is the stick that stirs the drink

 

[OrangeDW]

Easily the best game of the year to watch, to this point.

Edwards and Mintz were awesome.

After a horrible start, JBA helped get us going, as did Torrence.

Girard got red hot at the end of the first half.

Benny had a very good second half - never seen him cut and dunk like that. Hopefully now that he’s got the feel of that, he keeps doing it.

Hima gave key minutes in the first half when Jesse had two fouls.

Also was nice to see the Dome back alive for the first time all year. Decent sized crowd and the team played the kind of game that got the place rocking.

Benny needed to feel what it's like to light up the dome with an awesome dunk.

Many many positives from today. Forget the opponent but we saw chemistry building between Judah and Jesse and Judah was pass first most of the game. Bell hustled more. JBA continued to show his value and that having a 6-11 facilitator who is big and physical and who also defends is extremely valuable.

Joe adjusted and then played well. Jesse is finally in great physical shape and was dominant over what should have been at least a comparable talent in Wahab but it wasn't close. Hima was a monster on D. Keep building and let's get more from Taylor too.

Also Benny did the simple things that we need. Roll to the rim be catch ready and present himself. As already said if he can get consistent in the 15 footer it's all there for him.

JBA was the homeless man’s Draymond again.

Shoeless Jon Bol!

Nice to see Bell do more than chuck 3’s.

Hima a really nice 2nd C, we don’t have any drop off on D or rebounding while he’s in for Jesse.

Edited to add - 20/21 FT’s!!!!

just like all those classic Cuse teams of old.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yup. Been waiting to see that. He really teed that one up off Mintz’ pass. He missed but I loved that he tried to dunk again the next time down the court. He needs to quit pulling up for 5 foot jumpers so often and attack the basket hard.

Love how he settles both ends of the floor down as soon as he enters the game. You know it is going to be a great day when he is not needed in the 2nd half!

 

[phillydad]

Love the frosh knocking down key FT's down the stretch.

 

[Cuse House]

Have to think we are favored in the next 5. All winnable games with a few that could be close (Cornell/Pitt). If we can win the next five to get to an 8 game win streak it would be huge. Player confidence would be high going into UVA who we typically struggle with.

Excellent summary. That was as much fun watching SU as I've had in some time.

 

[81South]

Fun game to watch. Not predicting anything crazy going forward but I actually enjoyed watching the boys play today. Hope they enjoy it and do a keg stand or two to celebrate the win.

 

[OrangeDW]

Excellent summary. That was as much fun watching SU as I've had in some time.

Same. Nice to have “Syracuse” size and closer to Syracuse athleticism again. Blocking shots, dunking, and a PG who can get where ever he needs to on the court and create easy baskets - so nice to see it all.

 

[oTTo113445]

Just an Awesome team effort! In the first half Joe, Judah, Benny, and Ajax made their best play of the year. Edwards was on another level.

 

[Ringostar57]

That was really really really good. My friend from UConn says they don't miss Doubledick, not impressed.

 

[CuseTG2003]

So many positives. Just awesome all around.

 

[capeorange]

We wore the script and won!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I root for Bell. He has obvious weaknesses but he makes some stuff happen too.

The one time when he had a no brainer easy rebound and went into shock and nearly fell out of bounds was hilarious though.

 

[Orangefan1]

JBA idk he passes well once in a while…what does he bring again?

Hustle, smart play on offense, and length in the zone.
