Postgame Thoughts... Pitt (game 2)

[HOFCeluck]

WELL, IF WE DIDN'T PLAY ZONE, WE WOULD HAVE LOST BY 50!!!!

Between the youth from all our forwards and Girard were just a bit slow or small on D. Creates a triangle disadvantage in the zone this year. Pitt didnt even use the foul line entry today. I worry about the corner run out next year.

If we lose Jessie, I get the feeling Benny gets a half step quicker becomes a point center, and can give us 10-12 minutes at center next year.

“That’s your question? That’s the most important question you got?”

I'm listening to the press conference and your game thread prediction that he would say the three point shooting was because of the press was spot on.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Benny needs a lot of work on his footwork and ball handling. His shooting has improved a lot this year.

Every game people say the team is bad and then they’re surprised when they’re bad

It's one thing go be bad.. another to be the worst SU team in over 50 yrs... after having the same moniker the year before.

Can't help but wonder where we would be with a 5th year senior Braswell right now. Probably our best forward defender including weakside shotblock and rebounding the last 4 years as a sophmore, even over Dolezaj at forward imo.

I just ate chit soooo hard while I was cleaning my car off to pick up my seven sandwiches. You can’t make this chit up. I hate everything.

Your posts are straight hilarious man haha. Kudos. This gave me a laugh that I needed as I am punching my couch still in anger.

Bras has only played in 10 games this season for Charlotte. Averaging 4.8 & 1.7.

Hasn't played since Dec 22.

Is he hurt?

His leg pain resurfaced and he was shut down for the year.

Also...
Guerrier likewise after a short period of really good games has fallen off the wagon and been struggling.

Richmond has continued to do well..10/5/4 a game

Newton getting good minutes with a little production- good considering coming back from his father's death.

1st question out of the box and he was ready for it. Did he think the arena came out against us and was at full capacity because of the remarks he made about Capel? He was prepared to not lose it. I am surprised.

The press conference was fine until the end when he "explained" the rebounding stats and went at Donna and Mike again.

I didn't listen to all of it. I was mostly listening to see if that question was asked, and how he responded. Was sure he was going to be ornery and rude. Now I will go back and listen to the end. TY.

JB suggesting that his portal comments were off the record is a pretty strong allegation against Thamel.

Shockingly, if this is an issue my faith is with Thamel.

Guessing there might be a question like this at the presser:

"Coach, can you talk about what you were trying to do starting Benny and Justin tonight?"

Thank you to Benny. He got us 24 points!!! And 9 rebounds

 

[NorSyr66]

TOTALLY NOT THE DEFENSE WE PLAY!!!

We play defense????

 

[NorSyr66]

Before I turned on this game, I thought we would lose. In my own personal opinion, that’s all I need to know about the status of this program.

I never turn on a game thinking we are going to lose.

When you (we) play 2-3 Zone in the modern game, as discussed ad nauseam, it’s not a matter of if players are necessarily “open” or not… but they can ALWAYS catch with 2 feet set in a shooting motion, having someone close out on you as a shooter is different than having someone into you on the catch (man-to-man) that offsets the “comfortability” of catch & shoot… even with a hand up on close out. It’s always comfortable & I hate it

We as i said will never beat a good team again playing zone unless they are stone cold.
Jim would have won 5 or more games if he would just play man.

 

[kcsu]

Is there any question that this is the worst team of the Boeheim era?

Yes. Last year was pretty bad

I’m not so sure the guys on this team are all that good at M2M either.

listen - I dislike Pitt - but give Capel credit for turning the program around. 14-4 in ACC is admirable.

It came off completely delusional. Like he was watching a different game.

can you provide your therapist's information in a DM?

 

[MSOrange]

I had a church event so I recorded the game. I got home and my DVR tells me this recording is unavailable and won't let me watch it. I just checked online, saw that we lost and now that I am reading about the game - my malfunctioning DVR was tonight's MVP.

 

[NorSyr66]

doubt it. He is an Orange fan also

 

[Madbiker]

Did JB have any comment on why Bell did not play today? I didn't see anything about it.
